About as relevant as Hodges and Evans kicking umpteen goals in black socks.

The PB's are unique in black and white, the only changes required should be minor, and limited to no more than sponsors' logos as required.
If the club is silly enough to change the colour scheme of that guernsey we will weaken our case for its use in AFL games, and the eddie everywheres of the footy world would be all over that like white on rice.

Eddie steps down, so we have to step up with the BBTB presentation. Get in front of the AFL Commission to do that presentation and get at least the bars up for the Rd 8 showdown.

Not really.
McGuire will still have a whinge about us wearing the PB's and he will use the backdoor to lobby the AFL executives and AFL Commissioners, and I expect him to still whinge on Footy Classified and Fox Footy shows he hosts.
The war isn't over, we have won a little battle, but we need the AFL to show some courage. They were still backing McGuire to the hilt last week.

We better be smashing through the massive void right now, there'll be no opposition as Collingwood will not want to be involved in more controversy.
For every Collingwood fan/staff member who will want to stay out of sight, there'd be another who'll be overjoyed to use it as a distraction. We should strike as we're always going to get Collingwood nuffies who object and their standing on anything is not going to be any lower then it is right now.

We knew this already, but when the ex CEO says it publicly you know how hard we had to fight and that McGuire wont stop even if he has resigned.

Andrew Demetriou had his fair share of disagreements and patch-ups with Eddie McGuire during the former’s stint as AFL chief executive. But there was one issue, albeit minor in the grand AFL scheme, the two never fully agreed upon. Speaking less than a day after McGuire’s decision to step down from the role he loved so much, Demetriou said the now-former Collingwood president was “a force to be reckoned with” during negotiations.
Especially when it came to clash jumpers.
As Demetriou experienced first-hand, McGuire was determined to see Magpies players don the traditional black and white striped jumper as often as possible. In a pre-game address in 2005, McGuire told a club function: “We are the Collingwood Football Club, we wear black and white stripes, we don’t give a stuff what anybody else wears.”
Even last year as Port Adelaide continued to push its Prison Bar strip — which shares the same colours and similar vertical stripes to Collingwood’s jumper — more often, McGuire urged the AFL to “defend the copyright”, referring the matter to the AFL chairman, chief executive and the league’s legal department.
“I was always at loggerheads with him about the clash jumper,” Demetriou told SEN’s Whateley on Wednesday. “He was obsessed by that – almost to the point where I thought ‘gees, I’m not sure whether this is a fight worth picking, he’s really into this’.”
Demetriou said McGuire’s determination to fight for the black and white stripes was even stronger than his opposition to the Cost of Living Allowance (COLA) handed to New South Wales-based players. Although not by much.

Nah but super well done to all involved for considering it "too hard to argue". Let the racist get what he wants.

Thankfully Demetriou assisted our move to AO but with clash jumpers he was soft with the Vic clubs. The AFL CEO shouldn't have even entertained arguing with Eddie about it. A rule is a rule, abide or be penalised.
I suspect that Eddie has his connections far and wide in AFL House and so we'll still face massive opposition about wearing the PB.
Correction ... BBTB have re-sent the petition link via Facebook ... not the club.

"We don't give a stuff what anybody else wears" = we can wear the bars then!

Bloody get on with it Port.
Stop fart arsing around.
Push hard NOW and every time Collingwood complain answer with...
" I would have thought they would be more focused on removing systemic racism than on what colour shirt we wear".
Their PR department will soon realise it is not a good idea to keep dredging it up.

Put the foot on the neck of Collingwood while they're under so much scrutiny, strike while the iron is hot because we won't get a better chance than now
