Oppo Camp A Message About Heritage from Port Adelaide Fans

[chiwigi]

Hello guys, as we have recently played you (and therefore have us in mind), I was hoping you'd take a read of our #bringbackthebars campaign and sign our petition at www.bringbackthebars.com.

Our manifesto can be found here https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/attachments/bbtb_manifesto_de2-pdf.695660/

This campaign is not about changing our current guernsey, but about being allowed to wear our traditional guernsey on occasion, without the ridiculous stipulation of having to beg Collingwood every time. Your support is very much appreciated.

We believe this is a similar campaign to your right to play your home finals wherever you like! Without outsiders deciding what is best for your club.

This link will take you to the Big Footy thread. We have Facebook, Insta, Twitter etc. as well as the support of the current and ex-players if you are interested in following the campaign.

Anything to do with bars is OK by me.

Give us back the four points from Saturday nights game and we’ll consider supporting your cause

 

[Max Milburn]

What I don't understand is, they have nice teal blue jumpers, yet they want to look like Carringbush filth.

because of Eddie at least one of our games next season will be in blue and white hoops!

The grown up clubs didn’t complain about this.

We are as surprised as you!

What I don’t understand is that they were established in 1997 yet want to claim heritage for an era before their franchise was created

Isn’t the current jumper V jumper based in part on a heritage design?

Was that the jumper prior to 1892?
Personally think the V jumper is so much better but the original is so different to Collingwood that you should be able to wear if you want more often like the bears wear Fitzroy jumper.

In all seriousness, heritage and history is a very personal thing. Good luck in your quest.

No the current V was designed for a kids comp. It coincidentally had the state design and co-incided with a club low point and dismay with the 1997 guernsey.

Prior to 1892 Port wore blue and white hoops, then magenta and blue before adopting the Wharf Pylon/Prison Bars design.

There's your solution. Combine the three.

Why do you want to wear only the black and white bars ... surely youcould have that design if you threw in a bit of teal somewhere.. After all that is the colours of the Power club not the Magpies club.

Personally I wish Geelong had been as ardent as Collingwood and made Carlton add orange or something so that we were the only Navy Blue and White .. but thats done and over 100 years ago .. I think its time to move on.. ... by the way ..how long have you used the tagline "We are Port Adelaide" ..that i saw was on the Alberton grounds fences?

 

[Willo_]

I will happily support it

* Eddie and his views that Collingwood are the only ones that can wear black and white, the jumper is completely bloody different anyway

Because that is the heritage guernsey design. We don’t want it as our mainguernsey, just to be able to celebrate our heritage regularly without having to ask Eddie McGuires permission.

It’s not really a big ask.

We have used that Tagline for a good few years now.

Yeah F**k Eddie. Thinks he runs the league.
Unfortunately he sort of does.
Hope yous get to wear it if you want.
FWIW I think your new jumper looks great!
Not that much on TV but in person or at the shop it looks fantastic.

Yeah.. the "We are Geelong" has been in our song since the 1960's ....

Good luck the Heritage thing ..if its something you feel that applies to Power. Its much like a recent discussion on here about old Premierships.. Im sure its important to you ..

 

[Jimmy Willis Jawline]

I have signed it. All football clubs should be proud of their heritage and be able to celebrate themselves. I don't like the idea of other people dictating how that happens if it doesn't matter to them.
