Anyone on the board that is anti-Prison Bars needs to step down.
And if we start wearing them once a year, the guernsey will begin to creep into the consciousness of the football public. Imagine if we had a great win in a Showdown, the inevitable commentary from the media would be "how good were Port ... and how good are the prison bars!". Once we gain public support and a level of awareness around our desire to wear them, it can only be a matter of time.
An agreement that we can wear it on a consistent, regular basis is the thin end of the wedge.
We keep pushing, but we're now armed with the fact that we wear the bars regularly and the sky doesn't fall in for Collingwood or anyone else.
That's what 4 years of failure on the field does - as well as failures off it. 1 lost home final in 4 completed seasons of very average, middle class results.Disappointed but not surprised that our AFL controlled board isn’t 100% behind the bars.
This is how it will end. Home showdowns only. It will end that way, not because of the AFL or Eddie, but because of our own Board. The article from Basso clearly spells out, even within the club, the push for the Bars was not unanimous.
Gil and KT will sell this as the best compromise, flout on about respecting our heritage and that of Collingwood. Reality is, our Board doesn't want it, they just won't say that. It's an inconvenient truth. Game over.

Three certainty’s in lifeI got lost at `Imagine if we had a great win in a Showdown.'

I'd rather wear it in a game that we might actually win...

The move comes about after a recent push for Port Adelaide to wear its black and white jumper to celebrate its 150th anniversary season in 2020. Fans launched a petition to bring the jumper, originally worn by Port Adelaide in the SANFL in 1902, as the Power’s permeant home strip.
This proposal gained the support of club board members such as Darren Cahill but the club as a whole did not support this. Instead Port Adelaide sought to wear the guernesy for all Showdowns, home and away, against the Crows.
Like the merch idea but the three stripes doesn't really accurately capture the design as well as maybe four does. Maybe this is too pedantic.Hey everyone, we've got some merch ready to roll with for this campaign.

Maybe this is too pedantic.
I think "from 2020" is in the too hard basket, whereas "in 2020" they know has to be addressed and that's all they are worried about at the moment and for next years's celebrations.I don't think the board are against the PBs as such - I think they just see it as being firmly an item for the too hard basket.
The club as a whole? I want to know who within the club disapproved of the club wearing the PBs for all home matches. This needs to be known.
If it is true this current board is against a return of our traditional strip, then they can all go and get f*****
