So if hypothetically the AFL said Port, you can wear the Prison Bar strip in all home games on the proviso that you use teal numbers, Port fans would be against this?That's not a concession we would agree to.

Yes, vehemently against it. I would rather never wear it, than wear a bastardised version. To change it to suit an opposition club would utterly shatter the very argument for pushing so hard* to wear it.So if hypothetically the AFL said Port, you can wear the Prison Bar strip in all home games on the proviso that you use teal numbers, Port fans would be against this?
Advertiser comments section re Eddie's comments....
That's a Crows supporters name if ever I did see one.

How much consideration was given to Fitzroy's feelings when the crows entered the afl with the same colours?If Glenelg entered the AFL in 2021, do you think Richmond would be fine with them keeping their current jumper for all home games?
They weren't the same. Fitzroy was maroon (actually red), royal blue and gold. Crows are navy blue, red and gold. Royal blue and navy blue are quite different shades.How much consideration was given to Fitzroy's feelings when the crows entered the afl with the same colours?
they weren't maroon in 1990. And arguing the toss over shades shows how petty the whole argument is.They weren't the same. Fitzroy was maroon (actually red), royal blue and gold. Crows are navy blue, red and gold. Royal blue and navy blue are quite different shades.

Unless he chokes on his food a bit earlier.It has taken 6 years since we last wore it to get to wear it again, and just to broach the idea of wearing on a regular basis, even if only once a year. This might take a good 20 years to get what we rightly should have if it continues at this pace.
Absolutely.
The entire reason we want to wear it is to honour the historical significance of the guernsey to our club.
Altering it to suit another club's agenda does nothing but dishonour the guernsey.
Not real, the one posted on the net, but McAlister did write one. Have a look atOK, I wasted too much time searching Bigfooty and google. I know someone has posted that signed letter from Alan McAlister regarding the Prison Bars. Eddie continues to rant on about agreements and "Handshake deals" being good enough for him. How about we start publicising McAlister's letter from the Collingwood Board.
Reversing this exact post also shows how much preventing Port Adelaide using its most famous and popular guernsey impacts negatively on the club, and its supporters.they weren't maroon in 1990. And arguing the toss over shades shows how petty the whole argument is.
It's not about collingwood it's about our identity. Do you seriously believe that us being able to wear our traditional guernsey will have any affect on your club at all? How many members do you think you will lose to us? How much money do you think you will lose in lost sales because people can't tell the difference between your guernsey and the bars? How many sponsors will accidentally divert money from collingwood to Port because they're confused by the colours? How much of your history will get rubbed out of existence because of what we wear?
