Port Adelaide's plan to use jumpers similar to Collingwood

[deck]

Red and green were part of the Dockers kit too we can drop teal if we like just as we have with the away kit.

No other team has purple so you are half correct you can drop the black or the white.

And why would we do that? we can completely drop teal if we like, silver is also an official club colour.

Would Port Adelaide fans want the club to give up their current guernsey and identity if it meant bringing the Prison Bars and Magpie back?

No one is asking about the magpie logo - why does this keep coming up?

Okay. Fair enough. Would Port Adelaide fans want the club to give up their current guernsey and identity if it meant bringing the Prison Bars back?

Current guernsey, yes, absolutely. Wouldn't need to so much as give it a moment's thought.

Current identity? Wearing the Prison Bars wouldn't be 'giving up' our identity, it would be affirming it.

We can but I doubt that we would, most likely we’ll still have teal (and silver) in our back pocket. It’ll probably end up as part of the clash guernsey rotation in the future and it comes in handy for gameday things like stadium lighting anyway.

Funnily enough I think wearing the Prison Bars will actually lead to less supporter resistance WRT teal, not more. Currently it’s a symbol of compromise and subordination, but if we were free to celebrate our heritage and ya know pick out our own clothes it wouldn’t be.

Collingwood probably need to worry more about the rapists, racists, drunks and Potential Covid spreaders within their club rather than what another club is wearing.

Better change the club song then as it references teal. Maybe "borrow" Sydney's song like the Port Magpies do?

So silver will be added to the prison bars?

Yes dont need the magpies logo thats irrelevant

Again, you don’t need to have all your club colours on every guernsey. We didn’t use silver for years. We don’t have teal on our current clash. GC don’t have blue on their home.

 

[JimmyBC]

A dash of silver or teal on the logo is fine.

 

[parano1a]

Dont forget Collingwood were Britannia wearing Red White and Blue before they joined the VFA in 1892 and adopted the Black and White with the Magpie as emblem that year as Footscray were already Red White and Blue in the VFA comp.

What Collingwood wore in the VFA is irrelevant to the VFL/AFL, just like what Port wore/wear in the SANFL is irrelevant to their AFL identity of which teal is a central component.

It's not more central than black & white.. never has been

Eddie does have a point though as PA didn't use the Black and White prison bars until 1902 and had various other colours before that from 1877 when they a founding member of the SAFA.

FFS mate, don't regurgitate Michelangelo Rucci bullshit from 20 years ago.
Britannia and Collingwood are totally separate football clubs.
Britannia football Club dissolved in 1892. Some members buggered off across Hoddle St to join Fitzroy, some of the remaining members formed a NEW football club called Collingwood.
Black and white stripes and the Magpie nickname has been Collingwood Football Clubs identity since its very first game in 1892.

as to your other point, Port Adelaide had been playing footy for 32 years before the club changed from blue / white magenta to the black and white magpie identity.

Diagonal stripes according to the Argus.

maybe go back to that?

Really??
my post was in response to Collingwood wearing colours other then black and white,

and you come back with something lame about inclination of stripes

But the issue with guernseys is about stripes as well. Hence my post.

Not lame. Truth.

Lame is Collingwood and excuses right now, starting at the top. And getting worse today.

OK,
so you agree that the original post i responded to, relating to Collingwood wearing red white and blue was blatantly incorrect.

Correct. Brittania did.

their first choice home kit as been variations of all-red for over half a century. so unless you're over 60 and practically seen them play live at the ground, you wouldn't have caught them playing in any other kit unless you trawl through old photos and vids. they wear an all-red kit and will most likely play in it indefinitely keeping the distinction between them and their greatest competitive rival. in contrast, Port are attempting to remove a distinction between them and a competitor and adopt a similar uniform in colours and design. Port may not have an issue with it, but Collingwood do. it's an 18-team League with fixed composition, and Collingwood are the biggest brand in it.

1) that wasn't your initial position regarding liverpool and wearing white shorts
2) your point may have bee relevant if liverpool changed their shorts to red due to manchester. do you even know why liverpool moved to red shorts?

inconsistent and irrelevant........is that you eddie?

 

[Books]

This is just Eddie wanting to keep himself and Collingwood in the news.
So he creates an issue where there isn't one. He exaggerates and manipulates, beats his chest and misuses his platforms for a personal agenda.
Port Adelaide deserve to wear their prison bars. That has nothing to do with Eddie. Out of respect for Collingwood they would not wear it against them to avoid a clash.
So there shouldn't even be a conversation. If the AFL had any courage they would tell Eddie to suck it up and focus on something that actually matters.

Port Adelaide fans are confusingly arrogant for a shitty little club (it's all relative and in the big league you're a small club) with one premiership.

big call given richmond have just one more AFL flag than port despite 7 extra years in the comp
