Firstly that's debatable. Hell people tell me Collingwood and North clash and they aren't even the same colours or Collingwod & Geelong which are different colours and a differnt stripe orientation. More importantly, that was what was decided as a condition of entry so the reasons are not reallty relevant anyway. Last century they freely agreed to use a different jumper in the AFL. They are wearing theri traditional jumper.
The current Port Adelaide team playing in the SANFL is the Port Adelaide reserves team. Just as the Adelaide team playing in the SANFL is Adelaides team. Both teams would leave the comp and not be replaced
Yeah, in the AFL, but this would be a newly formed reserves competition.
The article says they can't afford 3 clubs so the side won't exist in the sanfl, which is the bigger tragedy.
Richmond VFL has black and yellow and is named 'Tigers', exactly the same as Werribee. Hasn't caused much drama at all from that perspective.
When Collingwood wear their mainly black top it absolutely clashes. Mainly black with white vertical stripes versus mainly black with white vertical stripes.
Richmond is a bigger club than Werribee and branding issues are negligible in a much smaller competition.
Should be allowed to wear it in the afl. the stripes are different to cwood anyway
Port Adelaide don't wear horizontal black and white stripes the length of their jumper. They wear prison bars, which features skinnier white bars. I think it is one of the best jumpers in the league, so I understand why some Port Adelaide fans are vocal about it.
No.
