The second I saw it I knew the miserable campaigners here would all hate it.

Retro sells. All teams are doing it. The more tragic the design the better. Wear it for a home game as why would you wear it away where the crowd doesn't care?

Ticks all those boxes.

It's one game. We make some cash. Get over it.

I mean he is right in the retro sells cash grab aspect, that's exactly what it is.

The dolphins will return as will the magenta at some point, we are a whore for the dollar.
I have no issue with retro round or whatever guernsey we trot out, but I certainly do have issue with the abhorrent quality lol.

Makes it all too clear its for $ via low cost of manufacture and high markups, as opposed to you know, actually giving a shit about history. The temu quality makes it all together shallow.

If you’re paying 20 bucks at Kmart you cop the dodgy knock off look, but they’re asking $135! It’s simply not good enough for the money.
 
I love the bars, I think it should be our home guernsey. However I think those that are so anti teal to the point that they'll hate on anything and everything that isn't purely black and white need to get a grip.

As much as you may hate it, teal and this guernsey is now part of our history. Those that were kids growing up when Port first entered the AFL have known teal for most of their life. Its in our history now us much as black and white is. Its being brought back for one round in a home game (why the heck wouldn't we wear a one off guernsey at home?). Just let those that want to enjoy it enjoy it. I'm all for 'out there' clash jumpers they appeal to the younger crowd just like this one did to me when I was 10 years old.
 
Yes, I know, but it isn’t ’locked in’ it is a year by year proposition. Hence the lack of availability of a new PB design every year.
Yep. If it were locked in we'd be selling prison bars year round.

Sure but why do we have to do such a shit job at it? They want $135 for the finished product and it looks like the designer had the original described to them over the phone. It’s unprofessional and shows a lack of care and pride and this isn’t a first offence either.

I bought one of these monstrosities at the Enid of year sale for like 15 bucks, I think it's still in a box somewhere. I didn't love it at the time but over the years I have warmed to it. People will complain but it's our history like it or not
 
We exist to make bux (and our community proud).

So it's consistent with the way the rest of the club is run at least.

I remember when could mock the w***ers down the road for being The Corporation with their Customers...

We were called the Cockledivers once too we don't roll that out as a branding gimmick some things are best left in the past.
 
Now that I've seen it, I'm less on board. The teal is too bright, the bolt doesn't have the weird photo quality that made it unique, and the lack of black side panels make it look off.
 
Always good for a bump

Looks pretty cool on a car tbh lol.
