Honestly I reckon that looks pretty awesome.Why don't they wear something like this:
Keeps their SANFL tradition while still being the AFL Port.
And no one can say "but that isn't Port" when teal is one of AFL Port's primary colours.
Why don't Essendon wear a red top when they're playing on ANZAC Day as the away team to remove the clash with Collingwood's mostly black outfit?Why don't they wear something like this:
Keeps their SANFL tradition while still being the AFL Port.
And no one can say "but that isn't Port" when teal is one of AFL Port's primary colours.

Like it.Why don't they wear something like this:

Do the afl represent Australian rules football in this country, are they the custodians of its history and heritage? If so then every team for which plays in the afl has a right to represent its entire history not what other clubs see fit to tell them they can.

I think if the two middle Teal bars were white then you have something pretty good.

Because that is not a celebration of our heritage, I don't mind the jumper but it completely misses the point of what the whole issue is about.Why don't they wear something like this:

It’s too far gone now, but imagine if this was the original Power guernsey back in 1997.
Appreciate you want the original black and white bars, but even now this is a good fusion of SANFL history and AFL present.

Cos Eddie wants Essendon, Carlton and Richmond to play Collingwood in their home singlet. If that's what he wanted, Collingwood should've continued to wear their predominantly white uniform at home to these clubs.
Convention (not an official rule) in the NFL is teams generally wear coloured jerseys at home, and white jerseys away. Did you know that the Dallas Cowboys President Tex Schramm in the 1960s adopted white jerseys at home so the Dallas Cowboys fans could see visiting teams in their primary coloured jerseys? What a thoughtful President. Eddie should've done same.
According to the Port Adelaide Football Club website the above was the official club logo in 1997, their first year in the AFL competition.

Having that as our standard guernsey - I could live with that.
Having the B & W PB's for 1-2 Showdowns a year would still be the request however.

That's up to the AFL to decide. We wear our clash jumper against Richmond as the away team. I don't mind doing the same against Collingwood.
It was floating around the site. Looks good.
SANFL history. AFL Port wear Black, white and teal and always has. Black and white prison bars is just never going to happen. Maybe the bars can be teal and white.
Ok then keep the current one.
Yeah that would be awesome.

The initial nickname was "Port Power". When nuffies like you started thinking the club was Port Power FC est 1996 as a result, it shortened the nickname to "Power" and insisted on the correct name "Port Adelaide" being used in the media.

Are we seriously confusing an abbreviation on a logo with the official club name?
I guess The Port Adelaide Football Club, known as The Power didn't quite fit.

A lot of people truly don't even know the difference between a club and a team.
True or false: Port Adelaide approved official AFL merchandise to be produced and sold indicating the club was established in 1996?

These were made by the AFL's merchandise partners at the time. The club immediately brought this error to the AFL's attention and that is why virtually all merchandise issued since these initial pieces have 1870 and Port Adelaide on them. These are actually collectors items because there were very few of these produced after 1997. In fact these are probably some of the last produced judging by the logo, maybe around 2000. It was an ongoing problem for the first few years.
Got to love those so called agreements we supposed have signed in good faith and then when we produce actual documents with signatures... we get crickets. It just demonstrates that nothing written on paper and signed has weight or meaning when it features Collingwood presidents signature. Might as well be sh!t tickets.

Collingwood President Allan McAlister’s letter to then Port Adelaide President Greg Boulton dated 1 September 1995.
“We at Collingwood are most grateful for Port Adelaide accepting it should enter the AFL with a change from its black-and-white colours and Magpie name which we hold dear to our hearts at Collingwood.
I will reiterate to our board that if the Port Adelaide Football Club should succeed at ranking higher than the Collingwood Football Club for three consecutive years in the AFL then our objections will be waived.”
Port Adelaide ranked higher than Collingwood on its first five consecutive years in the AFL from 1997 to 2001. Meaning, Collingwood did not honour its agreement,

McAllister's letter only indicates he would put the proposal to the board, I assume he did and the board subsequently rejected it.

That is not what 'reiterate' means. It mean he again clarified the position that if PAFC should secede at ranking higher than Collingwood Football Club for three consecutive years in the AFL then the CFC objections would be waived.
If Ed's word as President is the official CFC position, then equally it holds that Mc's was as well.
