I think they feel it got dated, and we adopted a new logo, which made the design less relevant I guess.

That's too bad. Of all the awful designs to come out of the late 90's/ early 2000's this was definitely not one of them!

My version of an allowable set of prison bars for Port Adealide. In my opinion it's absolutely pathetic that one club and one President in particular can just push aside another clubs history. Colours should not be owned by anyone as that just limits design potential.
Added teal pinstripes. Not really sure how Port fans will take this, I assume most may see it as a bastardized jumper. In fact that's how I see it, but I think it's an absolute shame this jumper isn't seen every weekend. Best design ever IMO.

Gotta remember that PA were the black & white stripes club that became part of an established league which already had a black & white stripes club (not establishment date of club but joining date of competition).
If South Adelaide had joined the AFL they wouldn't have been allowed a navy jumper with a white monogram, coz there was already a club with that.
It shouldn't be controlled by Collingwood when PA get to use the PB but some limitations must apply as they joined the competition later. Perhaps maximum once a year, never against Collingwood, and for an event with some historical significance. But not every week, or even regularly. Both Port and Collingwood have black & white stripes as part of their history, but Collingwood have first dibs on it in the present in the AFL.
What's the point of the bold black and white PBs if it just gets dilutedMy version of an allowable set of prison bars for Port Adealide.

Doesn't look that great now I've looked at in in comparison to the original.
Yeah appreciate people coming up with alterations of the PBs (fun fact: some of my first posts on BF and this board were recoloured PB jumpers) but they will never stand up to the standard design.

I agree original PB is awesome.

I reckon collingwood should get stuffed and let port be proud and allow them to show their history with the pb!

It's kinda like if you make a new street in an existing suburb though...you can't call them both the same name.
New team in an existing comp, you can't give them the same colours, in a very similar pattern.
It's not to do with Collingwood as much as it is to do with the context of Port joining the League.

Fair enough I'm sure both the clubs could come to some sort of agreement?
let them wear it in the showdowns and and games that have a meaning for it, premiership anniversaries, member appreciation, etc.
as long as it's not against Collingwood it's fine

They have. It's called "Eddie has said Never Ever Again because too many people got excited after the EF this year and said some semi-unserious things about using it more often".
Agreed, like I said before, once a year, on an event with historical value (showdowns have nothing to do with the PB IMO, no Magpies history there), and not against Collingwood. Clubs are only allowed 2 "special" guernseys a year anyway IIRC.
does the indigenous jumper count in those two "special"?

I'm guessing not if it's on a league-wide directive to produce one.
For West Coast it did, but not other clubs like Carlton

Clarify?
Were WCE denied a special jumper at some other point because they wore the Indigenous Round top?
thanks for the clarification Bryce...
My phone is being stupid an won't copy and paste a quote

Could be that WCE's was totally different but Carlton's had a small boomerang and a couple of hash-lines across one letter of the monogram I guess.
They did come to an agreement - Port could be admitted to the AFL if they dumped the magpie emblem and added an additional colour (teal)

And then the two clubs (Port Adelaide Magpies Football Club est 1997 and Port Adelaide Football Club est 1870) became one and then the fun really started.

West Coast claimed that because we had an indigenous jumper and the name on back jumper that we couldn't have a 94 Premiership anniversary jumper, nor a Dig Deep jumper, because we'd already filled our quota of two special jumpers a season. Despite that fact Brisbane have had more then that (4 I think?). Was all just an excuse really.

And that was WCE saying that, or WCE saying that's what the AFL said, or the AFL saying that?
