As I understand it Collingwood had an issue with us using grey/silver + white as well. Would have been the sensible option at the time (1995-6), and I wouldn't be surprised if they'd still be opposed to it for some nonsensical reason now.Why wouldn’t Port wear black with grey/silver prison bars and grey silver with black prison bars as the clash? I know it’s not the original, but it’s the colours you now use and would look great and would be instantly recognisable as Port Adelaide. It would still be maybe the best jumper in the league? Is Kochie and others leading Port too bloody minded and because of this, are playing in a inferior guernsey now than what they could be?
This was cartoonist Broelman's guess at our initial jumper & identity in 1994, and at the time I really thought we'd be doing something like it:
