Had the misfortune of listening to 5AA on the way home. They are really hamming up the fact that we are wearing the PB as something controversial and divisive - getting Scott Hodges on to say how the club should have fought harder to keep the BiB jumper etc. and callers are ringing up crying about it. I say 'callers' and not supporters, because guess what a true Port Adelaide supporter cares most about? Winning the game. We exist to win premierships. If the AFL says 'you have to wear pink', Port Adelaide will smash campaigners in pink. Simple. Is it a balls up? You bet it is...but if the club whinges too hard about it, we might find that we get a whole load of Sunday twilight fixtures next year...
make no mistake they ARN'T port supporters
They couldn't sleep or eat.

It was hilarious. I was laughing so hard at the radio...I hope they replay it and someone can record it.
One bitty named Linda who got a $50 voucher for her impressive emotional breakdown.
Watch it become their soundbite for the week leading upto the match, I'm sure it's not the last time we'll hear it.
Edit: There it is soundbite lol, jumpergate mkII apparently

Kind of a Jagger-Tarzan
Presumably all these "supporters" who are outraged by this will vote with their feet and we'll see a disappointing crowd show up on Sunday.

To be perfectly honest I don't see the problem with wearing the white one in the first place. We wear it several times during the season (away), why not at home once in a while? We go through all this trouble of rushing through an order of PB's just so we DON'T have to wear a Guernsey that we happily wear during the normal season?? I can only assume that the club is looking to make a bit of cash out of it via auctions or whatever. Having said that, it's always great to see the PB on the national stage.

I disagree with having to wear white shorts, we are the home team and should have our black shorts!
I think I'd even prefer to hear the one with rowe jizzing his jeans over Betts feeding Rutten that goal last Sunday.

!Ken Hinkley on 3M, whole interview was about the footy, no mention of jumpers!! Crows ammbassadors on 5AA creating controversy
Finally a like minded caller Power/Magpies supporter saying just shut up about the jumper & focus on the game which should be the important part of this week.
I bet they couldn't cut her off quick enough considering she wasn't trotting the same controversial line as 80% of their other callers.

Love the PBs but would rather be wearing BiB. That's just my view.
Back in Black.

Would love for us to wear our BiB jumper but wearing our PB jumper re-enforces to the AFL world that the PAFC is a club with a long history!

A bit more clarification. It's called Back in Black because that's what the club referred to the current strip as (since it's predominantly black compared to the original 'SBS' stylized jumper we entered the AFL with) when marketing it.
Don't worry they'll give him his say, probably get him on tonight whilst the topic is still hot by their standards.
If only they realised that majority of the supporters just want to hear about the game this week & couldn't give two stuffs about this nothing argument.
Im not fussed what jumper we wear, all our kits are excellent and they all represent Port Adelaide. People have preferences and that's cool too. We will still look like Port Adelaide and we will still play like Port Adelaide.
Now we are wearing the PB jumper Im just worried Im going to slip into some type of Glenelg hating induced flashback to the 80s where Im demanding someone knocks Peter Carey's head off. I may have barracked for North back in those days but I still hated Glenelg above all.
