Toast #BringBackTheBars - Our Heritage, Our History, Our Right! Part 1

[RossFC]

Absolutely love the idea. Michael Voss in the Prison Bars to me is a great combo.

Whilst I like and applaud the sentiment, nobody else a little bit grossed out seeing Hinkley in the ol' PB's?

Whatever we think of his ability as a coach, he is as much a part of the club as anyone, and entitled to the history.

It's the least grossed out i've been while looking at him since 2014.

Gotta have something to do with our presentation to the AFL about the PB's next week or whenever, I reckon.

Well we haven’t presented yet I believe, you know next week? I wonder if it will be an off season agenda now.

In a fortnight.

Its a 45th order issue for the AFL so they keep putting it on the backburner.

Wouldn't be surprised if its deliberately been pushed back to closer to Collingwood game for financial reasons.

The prison bars are that good that they make Ken look like a finals winning coach.

I don’t really think the AFL want to deal with it. It should have nothing to do with Collingwood (realistically)

There were quite comfortably more prison bars guernseys in the crowd today than normal home guernseys, IMO.

The supporter embracement of our great guernsey cannot be denied.

I had my 2.5yo there today for her 2nd game, first since 2018, and she was naturally decked out in the game's greatest guernsey.

Several years of sales in the Port Store will only see this number grow too. This is really only off the back of one year of solid sales and availibitly to the member base.

The number of young people and kids wearing it is pleasing. I bumped into and old reserves premiership player from the 50's on the tram who came up to tell me how happy he was to see me wearing the guernsey.

It's noticeable on the tv coverage how many people are wearing the bars.

 

[malcheski]

What sticks out for me is the number of kids in the bars at the game. We have a new generation already indoctrinated on the importance and relevance of the bars. This fight is not going anywhere.

There has been a noticeable increase in the number of PB's this year, as you would hope for after such a public campaign, but many have been hidden under coats given the conditions of most games. Yesterday was he perfect opportunity to show them off.

A couple of comments from things I saw yesterday, and one in particular that I get triggered by.

The number of people who still wear that teal t-shirt from the first AO game gets me. I know some people are hard up for cash but get rod of the f'king things. I have a couple of other t-shirts you can have for nothing.

The second thing I saw yesterday was what appeared to be official gear. It was a PB based guernsey but with teal trim both on the bars, neck and arm.

 

[DaTBird187]

PBs, shorts and Air Jordan IVs. You could say I was rockin' it yesterday.

Saw a bloke at yesterdays match wearing a black t-shirt with a print of the prison bar guernsey on it.

Oooh which IVs? I moronically baked in black jeans but Jordan 1 mids to go with the PBs.

Yuck. Where did you see this? Was there someone in the crowd wearing it?

Hope it wasn't official gear. I have my doubts as the only PB merch being produced at the moment are the lace up guernseys at the Port Store. What you saw might've been the fake stuff that appears on Facebook every now and then.

I've been getting heaps of Chinese spam PAFC gear on Facebook. Maybe they got it from there.
