Almost, but the socks haven’t changed from the last few years so they still have teal on them. All black would look heaps better but if they need to be changed then black/white or black/grey hoops would also work well. These ones with the teal band look out of place imo.

Melbourne Pink Lady game jumper?
Wow... Eddie McGuire says SA media have blown things out of proportion with their stance on the Prison Bars. Don't know where to post this.
They're happy for the Power to use the prison bars for their 150th. He doesn't want to be part of the problem, he wants to be part of the solution to find a jumper that doesn't alienate their Power fanbase. So instead of the Prison bars we know of, add some teal, or add some of the original magenta. Or even wear the original magenta guernsey.
Also said Port got it in writing that this is the last time they will bring the Prison bars up for a guernsey.

Fair enough too. It was a condition of them joining the league. Nobody held a gun to their heads, it was a choice they freely made.
The odd heritage game is fine, but they need to build on their very impressive AFL heritage rather than keep flogging this dead horse

I'm putting this to Eddie just being a scatterbrain emotionalist, not your recollection, but he's basically said 'Port Adelaide can wear their actual jumper... but make it different.'
Ultimately couldn't Port do this anyway? If they wanted teal instead of white prison bars or to wear a magenta strip, they could any old game. They just don't because they'd rather keep the strip as it should be – black, white, a line with some bars underneath it.
So what's the go? What one is it? The proper prison bars jumper as a primary jumper for 2020 or some fuaxback style thing for 2020?
Also not sure about Port Adelaide basically extinguishing all future wears just for 11, 15 games next season.
It doesn't sound legally binding and I'm sure it won't last, but that's a big risk.

You have actually described the metaphorical gun to the head scenario. "Change your guernsey, or esle you can't join." That's a classic example of metaphorically holding a gun to someone's head.

They have to play a game or two there each year to appease the bean-counters running the venue - and it's not gonna be Collingwood vs anyone from Vic. For a few years running it was the Eagles.

Eddie pulls out the 'signed in writing... This is the last time' line every time we wear it. Port has denied any such agreement exists, and tbh anyone who would sign that off should be run out of the club.

Every decision comes with a price, with pros and cons. They may as well complain they have to play outside Adelaide half the season. If they didn't like the deal they didn't have to accept it.
PAFC freely chose the conditions they were offered and joined the league. The small group of fans should join the club in building on their excellent AFL pedigree.
Why should the club have to be locked into a decision made by people who are no longer at the club though? Should the club be held to that for all of eternity, even if circumstances or the greater good change?
Its thinking like that that sees a constitutional amendment written in 1791 being strictly adhered to with no sign of change despite being grossly unfit for purpose in 2019.

Fact is, we don't even want to wear the jumper (Prison Bars) full time and the club has stated that publicly and accepts that. However they are still part of our heritage and history. Furthermore, it's not the only jumper we wore prior to the AFL as we had a Magenta jumper and a light blue jumper as well. Why aren't they going to be featured as well?
Apparently we want the jumper for Showdowns as well but I haven't see that from the club as of yet.
99% of Port fans and the club is happy to save the PBs for once a year or once every couple of year occasions.

It's a contract between the AFL and the operator, Melbourne Stadiums Ltd. that dates back to around 2000

Anyone complaining about the Cats in Navy shorts should just watch this game for 5 minutes and realize the Cats in Navy is the least of the AFL problems.
Two wrongs don't make a right. Cats in white shorts WAS one of the few rights.
But agree, Ports white jumper was so much better - both in looks and reducing a clash. There's a reason Carlton has gone back to white.

Essendon grey clash - fail
Carlton grey clash - fail
Port grey clash - fail. Plus bonus points for being a slow learner.
Not only does it not properly resolve a clash, but it looks like dish water.
