Port Adelaide's plan to use jumpers similar to Collingwood

[Zacs_Magic_Tooth]

I don't really get why most Crows supporters are so against it. Makes the game look like a real South Australian event.

 

[Shadow89]

Anyway, a way to solve the problem has been found

While that looks awesome, many other posters have suggested similar incorporations/changes to design - which has been met with a chorus of ‘but that’s not our original prison bar guernsey/that’s not our heritage’

Doesn’t seem like it’ll work based on the feedback I’ve seen on here/social media, from Port supporters.

Port should wear it and be happy to walk away with no points. Everyone will know the real state of the ladder.

They'd likely only drop 1 spot, if at all. Could wear the guernsey and be in the same spot you are now this time next week. Not a huge loss if Port wanted to do something funny.

 

[_RT_]

Every club guernsey has gone through minor changes over the years including Richmond’s. When I was growing up in the 90’s only the front had the sash and there were gold numbers on a fully black back. Is that a different guernsey to what you’re wearing now? Technically yes, but fundamentally no. The essence of the design is the same and is recognised as such by any reasonable person.

And I think we can make allowances for world wars sheesh.

Outside the 10 years between 1995-2004 the design of the Richmond jumper has been largely the same over the last 100 years.

How do these versions of Ports 'iconic' jumper keep the essence of the design the same?

So you're saying that if a club makes small changes to the design of a jumper, like say changing from black stripes on white to white stripes on black for example, then all claims to that being a heritage jumper are gone?

They all have black and white stripes as the primary feature - how is that not keeping the essence of the design??

You left out the blue, magenta and pink jumpers.

I didn't leave anything out - I was responding to the jumpers someone else included.

 

[sherb]

If Port want to wear the prison bars guernsey in the showdown match, I don't see what the big deal is about.

Let them do it.

Bring back the lightning bolt jumper

Those particular ones, many of which were worn in the context of war time and I believe one may actually be a Collingwood jumper that was loaned to the club, I wouldn’t consider Prison Bar guernseys.

The other ones on your list that you didn’t post I absolutely would, despite minor changes throughout the years, and they are the ones that we’ve spent the majority of our history in and won the vast majority of our flags in too.

P

The good news though is that nobody gives a toss about your opinion or mine.

What matters is that Gil and co. - while not always paragons of wisdom - aren't complete halfwits like some of you, so they recognise that allowing Port to do this would be idiotic. So the non-issue is being settled the correct way

Enjoy your ban.

Does any other sporting league in the world does with Collingwood and Port?

As in:

a) “No Port Adelaide. Only Collingwood can wear black and white. Only them.”

b) “No Port Adelaide. You cannot wear black and white. We don’t care that Collingwood are not your opponents.”


Every single league I can think of in the world - EPL, Serie A, La Liga, the NBA etc, has teams that have the same or similar colors.

How do they deal with it?

a) Having clash guernseys and getting on with life

b) Literally no other team I can think of doing what Collingwood does i.e having a massive cry, jumping up and down and carrying on like pork chops and insisting that their colours are theirs and theirs exclusively. And if they did, they’d be told to grow up and STFU.

Yet year after year the league has to kowtow to Collingwood (and Eddie’s) ridiculous song and dance that black and white are exclusively theirs.

It’s not just the Port Adelaide issue. North Melbourne (and other teams Collingwood clash with) had to wear their away guernsey when playing a home game against Collingwood for years because Collingwood stamped their feet really hard and refused to wear a clash jumper.

Then there’s Eddie and Collingwood’s nauseating “But black and white is our heritage!!!” line used to justify their carry on with these issues.

Im pretty every other club in the league also has the same heritage and pride with their colours and jumpers as Collingwood, but every club adopted a clash strip and got on with life when they were asked to do so. But apparently Collingwood think they’re too good for this.

And apparently black and white cannot be Port Adelaide’s heritage either. No, it’s solely Collingwood’s, theirs only, theirs alone.

Yet the AFL constantly jump at shadows and bend over to Collingwood’s whim over all of these issues when they should have been told to grow up and get in line years ago. Nauseating.

TLDR - Collingwood. STFU, stop making a big song and dance and huffing and puffing over trivial issues and get on life. You shit everyone to tears over this.

Has Gill actually come out and said anything, or are they hiding behind statements?

Common sense and failure to lead by the AFL on that issue.

Another year, another stint of Port Adelaide arguing about clothes.

You're taking the piss if you don't see why Collingwood wouldn't want a huge part of their brand, black and white stripes, to be adopted by another club because they want to relive past glory. If a club wanted to wear a black guernsey with a yellow sash going the opposite way of Richmond's, I'd be very surprised if the Tigers didn't kick up a stink.

First in, best dressed. Collingwood has been the team of black and white stripes on the VFL/AFL, and Port should embrace their Port Power identity with the teal and such, or find a way to integrate the "prison bars" without enroaching on another club's identity.

Why did we accept Port Adelaide if we didn't want to encroach on someone's identity? It goes both ways.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Just take it to court already and get it over with

Reckon the pies will win the case though

 

[BigVic]

Collingwood’s inaugural AFLW jumpers had prison bars on it

 

[magpie_marty]

If Port makes the GF this year I can cheer there jumper colours.

How are Port the one's arguing?

I still contend that if I tell my Mrs that I'm going to the pub after work and she says 'no we agreed you were coming home for dinner' that it's her that started the argument, not me.

Because they came into the comp as the port Adelaide power? Teal? Thunder bolts? Not prison bars/black and white stripes.

 

[north_lad]

Seeing our fans defend Collingwood ITT is frustrating and demonstrates short memories, seeing as we went through the same bullshit with them not that long ago. Lift ya game Shinboners and also **** the pies lol

 

[Roylion]

Anyway Brisbane regularly wear the Fitzroy Lions jumper

They wear a Brisbane Lions jumper that has Fitzroy colours.

On occasions the Lions have worn a Fitzroy jumper.

This is a Fitzroy jumper. A Fitzroy jumper has the FFC logo on it. Brisbane have only worn it on a few occasions to commemorate Fitzroy's VFL-AFL history. Fitzroy FC are quite happy for Brisbane to wear their jumper. Good marketing for them (and Brisbane).

despite roylion campaigning on this site for years that Fitzroy still exists and there was no merger.

They do still exist in their own right and have done since 1883. 138 years old. Hence no merger.

Don't get personal, it undermines your position. I'm not being obtuse at all. I don't 'know' that at all, lol and I've stated via IP and branding discussions, how I don't believe that to be the case unless new legal docs are drafted/something is changed on the jumper itself.

Might want to try being like your fellow supporter base poster above, who actually contributed something, without getting personal, and without acting tribalistic.

Mate that guy is a renowned troll who was banned once before. He is not popular or representative of port supporters in general.
