Port Adelaide's plan to use jumpers similar to Collingwood

[sthmelb_dimmies]

So you just know nothing about football then.

I know enough that a Port Adelaide FC heritage jumper should be pink and blue

 

[Mr Gui Guojie]

Don’t understand it, they don’t get to wear it every week but why can’t they wear it on occasions like this, just doesn’t make sense.

AFL missing out on a trick here too, look at the different NBA jerseys each team has and the extra revenue that can generate.

Eddie has said Port need to stop receiving money from the AFL wah wah but then follows up with a meltdown about Port making money selling the PB jumpers.

I swear he is bipolar or maybe just simply ******ed.

I can see both sides to this but how exactly does Collingwood lose by not standing in the way of Port using it once a year?

I'd imagine there'd be positive credits across the league if it chose that option that would offset any perceived merchandising losses

I think the fear would be if they allow it now, what then happens in 5 years time, if they request to wear it in all home games. They want to now stop it before it gets to that stage

 

[Mr Experience]

Give it up. The AFL has made the right decision to say no before it gets out of hand.

Incorrect.

When freo wore a near replicate of an old swans guernsey on more then one occasion there was no consultation needed afl hold all licences and control so it didn’t matter what the swans think.

The Swans are South Melbourne so some Vic bias should still extend to them unlike the Lions who are really the Bears.

Go gather up all the 130 yr old people and make a stand then.
Every living person that is interested in the history of Australian rules football(not vfl) knows of the Iconic prison bar jumper and it’s importance to AUSTRALIAN football

Because Port are trying to wear a black & white stripe jumper that's why when they said they wouldn't coming into the AFL, Collingwood let them have 150th year which they requested Port are trying push it more & have been selling jumpers stating they won't do that.

Not hard to get the jumper, firstly there Woukd be literally thousands of them from the Port SANFL days and you just place an order online from Bali or Thailand for as many as you like. If Port can’t sell them I am sure a fan or a member will.

Port should just wear it later in the year and cop the penalty.

 

[Ice-Wolf]

It was a Heritage Round. Big difference. Collingwood have no issue with Port wearing those colours within a designated Heritage Round. Now they want to backtrack on the agreement all parties signed.

Collingwood signed that agreement knowing that there would be no more heritage rounds, Port was not privy to that information. The whole thing was a con and Collingwood and the AFL were acting in bad faith, that agreement would only go badly for the AFL and Collingwood in court.

For the 57th time, there are about 5,000 professional clubs in European soccer leagues who play against each other. There are 18 AFL clubs in the AFL. Each can have its own design/colours, something which is obviously not possible in soccer.

Ok, let’s talk closed shop comps like the US sports the AFL loves to copy.

NBA? Check out Sacramento and Toronto. Compare Houston and Chicago. Detroit and LA Clippers? It’s not hard is it?

NFL? Try New England and Houston. Pittsburgh and New Orleans?

The current argument is so flimsy, it’s basically “because we said so”. And don’t even have the guts to say so.

Did you see what they did to the swans when they were hoodwinked with the buddy deal?
Bias doesn’t extend over state lines unless it’s got to do with vfl money.

I’ve made this very point about 5 times so far today in this thread..

AFL lets port play in the pb’s for the showdowns and then two years from now they’ll ask for more.. they’ll want to wear the pb’s in all their home games..

then after that, if its allowed, they’ll ask to wear them in all games except games against the pies.

then it will be.. we can wear them against the pies when we play them at AO..

AFL have rightly put an end to it before that can of worms could be openned..

The AFL can't hold a candle to the NBA.

The bias isn't Vic centric it's big club centric!

If Port are unhappy with the conditions in the contract they signed on entering the AFL they can always hand in the Licence. I'm sure Tasmanina would gladly take it off their hands and would have no problem coming up with a jumper that won't clash with any other team.

Nah, lets not..

because its all completely irrelevant to this conversation..

This is solely all about the AFL.. who gives a shit about how other leagues around the world allow their clubs to display their colours.

So its a pointless exercise.

Port are a great club club with a proud history that wear the prison bars in the SANFL. Port in AFL wear teal, so stick to teal. Collingwood should also have an away strip when clashing with home side such as north.

Narrow minded view when we consider how many strips ALL clubs use every year.

 

[Farm Boy]

Eddie did show the agreement both Port and Collingwood signed in 2007. Interesting that one of the sections stated that Port were not to retail the black and white stripes. They have been selling them. Kane Cornes produced the document on the show so I can only presume it’s a legitimate contract. Why haven’t the AFL fined or stripped points off of Port for blatantly ignoring the rules?

Who cares? It's a jumper....if Collingwood are so insecure then that's on them

Caveman yeh nah, its Melbourne with too many teams.

Rubbish.. stop focusing on the heritage round contract and focus on the original, and still standing, contract/agreement port power signed and agreed to in full when they entered the comp.

the Heritage rounds no longer occur and havent for over a decade. Mentioning agreements for them are thus completely and utterly pointless.

can always add another SA team at a later date

If you can read I had a was in there.
Geelong falcons is an u18 team formed in 92 it’s a team not a club.
