Way too complicated, won't work down small either.
One of these logos works as a logo should, the other doesn't.

But the one on the right incorporates the image of some random lighthouse that is completely unrelated to Port Adelaide so is better than that obscure one on the left.
I don't know why. It is a perfectly cromulent word.

This is something that both you and bomberclifford have alluded to quite heavily in this discussion.
Just curiously, what are your favourite sports club logos?
My mates and I are in our late 20's and have been saying Ports for a while now.

Not sure tbh, don’t follow too many other teams.
I’ll sniff around for some examples today and report back in.

In reference to my comments about a redrawn PAFC monogram and a custom typeface for the Port Adelaide brand, check out this extension of the White Sox brand identity that included a redraw of their famous wordmark.

See post above re White Sox
Baseball does sports branding particularly well. They get the balance right between traditional nostalgia and merch-able graphics that create team/club brands that are easily identifiable.
I think the San Antonio Spurs branding is also pretty good. Great use of black and silver and a unique name/icon symbol.

You haven't listened much to John Cahill then. Or your memory is fading. I remember as a teenager first picking up him regularly using Ports, but he also used Sturts, Norwoods, Norths etc.

It's funny you say that about the ChiSox though, as no club has rebranded more (seemingly) in their history!
They have always had to be that way as they are up against solid brands in the Cubs and Bears.
They are very much the Port to the Cubs 'Crows', even down to the supposed demographics.
My particular fave ChiSox logo is this one...
My least favourite is their famous
My favourite retro one is:

I like the concept. Would get rid of the silver waves.
But it reinforces the wharf pylon concept behind our jumper and why it's unique and special, compared to vertical black and white stripes that 100's of professional clubs all around the world have and thousands of semi pro and amateur clubs wear around the world.
I like the lighthouse and all the imaginary and analogies about a beacon of light, radiates safety, security, stability etc
In 30 years time when the Port will be redeveloped and gentrified, the Lighthouse will still be there at the centre piece of the wharf area. Like the club, been there for 150 years, will be there for 150 more years.
portadelaide.org
The lighthouse arrived in South Australia in April 1867, having been prefabricated in England and shipped to Australia in pieces. It was erected at the entrance to the Port River and was first lit on January 1st 1869.
The teal representing the water of the Port River is something I have for a longtime thought that if we had to bastardised the traditional jumper, it would be that the bottom 5-10% would have teal, either a straight line or wave type shape and could tuck that part of the jumper into your shorts if a player, or pants if a fan.
I've never been a fan of teal. The 2000 move from PMS 321 to PMS 320 colour, with more blue in it, was an improvement, but so much merchandise has various shades of Chinese manufacturing green teal to blue teal. The official guernsey has it right, but does come up different shades on TV. My preference would have been PMS 319, or PMS 312 if we were going to stay in that area of the colour chart. See
In the early naughties I said to my mate D_One they should have used a different shade of blue to represent the waters of the Port River. His response was, you can't do that, nobody wants dirty brown as the colour of a footy jumper!
