That's right, announced in December 2017.

THE Port Adelaide Football Club is proud to announce a partnership with Four’N Twenty that will continue strengthening cross-cultural ties between Australia and China.
The iconic Australian brand will be the Presenting Partner for Port Adelaide’s ground-breaking grass-roots program, Power Footy, which uses football to introduce Australian culture to Chinese schools.

It's a well-worn dream for getting rich: capturing a slice of the massive Chinese market.
And in theory at least, the classic Australian meat pie should appeal in a country with a love of meat and an obsession with food.
But can the Aussie pie really appeal to the Chinese palate?
Well, our China correspondent, Bill Birtles, attempted to find out.

SYDNEY’S iconic Harry’s Cafe de Wheels is expanding into China, with a deal signed to build up to 300 of the famous pie carts across the country over the next 15 years.

First the USA then China

25 million vs 300 million and 1.5 billion

Smart move

American basketball fans could soon be tucking into Australian meat pies rather than hotdogs.
The Aussie pie maker, Four' n Twenty, is using the star appeal of Melbourne-born NBA sensation Ben Simmons to fuel its drive into the United States market.

Strange that they aren't on the sponsors list on the PAFC website, I guess community program sponsors are listed somewhere else.

The Chinese love chowing down on any random animal that moves, so meat pies are pretty much perfect

Ah ha. Not sure that's the best place, but I guess the most relevant place. When you google ports corporate partners, the first link that comes up is this:

With no mention anywhere of the list of china partners.

[DaTBird187]

On an NBA players salary, he should be sponsoring us.

 

[SgtSchulz]

FTFY

The start of the season isn’t D-Day. We can go into Round 1 with Oak front and back, just like we have in AFLX/JLT, and everything will keep turning.

Better to do it right than fast.

 

[Alberton Proud]

BOOOOOOOOO !

 

[JayPea14]

 

[Pappagallo]

BOOOOOOOOO !

Don’t boo me kent!

I’ll just add that I’m not connected like the TS/Z-Ws of this board and have no idea who it is or when it’s happening, so it may very well be announced before the season begins.

But if it isn’t, honestly what difference does it make?

 

[Magus]

I get the feeling that most of the angst is from people that want to buy merch and are worried that they wont have a nice new guernsey to wear by round 1.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Pappagallo shifting the narrative to loser defeatist talk about going into R1 without a joint major.

Come on Ports, get it ****ing done.

My 8-year-old keeps threatening to take his nanna into an AFL store here in Melbourne and manipulate her into buying him one of the Port jumpers they sell that must be from a few years ago. I can't hold him off for much longer.
