If not for the great QS (R.I.P.) the Eagles would probably still be in the tripanelWhere do you think the #ReturnTheWings campaign started?

We go to the AFL with the proposal to wear the PBs and they reject it.
Where to from there?
It's easy to say "get it done" but we really aren't in a strong bargaining position. We are in debt to this league. What they say goes basically.
The precedent is already there. It’s been worn as recently as 2014.
One game after they were embarrassed by trying to make the home side wear their away kit. It's not the same as wearing it twice a year every year.
Or we could just get on the front foot and forge ahead with our own plans to wear one of our clubs guernsey’s in one of our club’s games. I’d love to see Mr PR Gill try and come down heavy handed on that.
Like I said, maybe we've asked and they've refused. What next?
We would absolutely achieve our goal of wearing the prison bars as a main strip if we pushed hard for it. There has never been a concerted, long term campaign to achieve it. If someone wants to run that, speaking to the guys behind #returnthewings would be a great start. They had a simple premise and they pushed until they achieved it.
So are we gonna start this #BarUp / #ItsWharfinTime / #ReturnTheBars thing? I agree we’ll need a new thread if we do.
What’s more, if there was ever any kind of agreement upon entering the AFL that we’d never wear the PB’s then it’s clearly not worth the paper it’s written on.
2003 - “You can wear it this one time...”
2013 - “Ok, you can wear it again...”
2014 - “Oh go on, but this is the last time...”
Any “contract” entered into is clearly now null and void.
EFAI’d do it myself but considering the fate of the Infamous Prots Money Laundering Operation I’ll do everyone a favour and stay the f@&k away from it instead!
2007 also. So many contradictions to the “agreement” that we accept is valid..
Ah yes. How could I have forgotten that one.
Part of the 2007 agtreement, at Collingwood’s behest, dictated we were not permitted to market the guernsey or mass produce it for any commercial gain. Utterly ridiculous.
Enough bending over.
