Port Adelaide's plan to use jumpers similar to Collingwood

[Papa G]

Good thing Richmond didn't win their premierships in tinpot state leagues such as the SANFL, instead they won them in the biggest and strongest league in the land the VFL

The VFL was a tinpot state league, just that the tinpot was a bit bigger.

Looks like this thread has run its course much like our campaign to wear the PB's going forward.

To be honest, the AFL has too much important s**t to worry about then a guernsey design. It's really bad timing all round to get this proposal off the ground however if anyone's going to drive it, it is the fans.

I am going to be curious to see what happens if we get a home game against Collingwood and how many people would show up wearing the PB's to prove a point. It will probably confuse the s**t out of viewers on TV who aren't aware of the PB's.

They'll never

They'll never teal you apart

I remember the Pies wearing an away jumper back in 82 against Swan Districts. It looked pretty good.

The whole Covid thing has decentralised the AFL from being so Vic centric, Collingwood and Ports Prison Bars seem a whole lot less at odds as it feels more like a national comp right now.

I'm finding it pretty amusing that those flogs in the media that were promoting Adelaide vs Port games be played in Melbourne a few years ago are now seeing their teams playing clash games in Qld and WA

The whole thing is such a non issue, if I saw Collingwood in that jumper on an away game who would actually care? In fact it add something new to the brand....

Not gonna lie, I wouldn't mind a prison bar jumper myself. I'd also like to get a Sturt one too fwiw.

 

[JimmyBC]

I reckon we'll be wearing it 5 times a year before too long.

I'd be happy for Richmond to create some goodwill with Port and back their bid. I'd also be happy for Richmond to play against a prison-bar wearing Port Adelaide annually (yes... I know it didn't work out great last time).

Well did in the long run... I was there that day, cracking September weather to boot.

So we should be. It ads something to the football landscape doesn’t it? Aren’t we all about ‘growing the game’ .....

Never have I been happier to turn down a 20 hr return car trip.

I remember the now delisted little fella Jake Neade knocking Dusty down and sprinting away with the ball... seems fckn ludicrous now lol

The prison bars and the gold sash is an image us old Port fans grew up with. Glenelg was a major rival during the 80s.

This is an easy marketing opportunity and benefit both Port and Richmond.

If it's just the VFL and there's no difference, why did they change the name to AFL?

the more urgent issue is what happens to all the men and women who change their name when they get married. i mean, i know they dissapear never to be seen again, but where do they go? the disappearance of millions of people every year is surely a bigger issue than even the coronavirus.

 

[terrybull]

And Melbourne wearing red and black.

and Carlton and Geelong wear black and white..... umm... hold on....

 

[Juddernaut08]

Where do Collingwood supporters sit on this?

To you guy and girls, would it be a big of a problem as Eddie is making it out to wear our prison bats Guernsey once a year at home in our home showdown?

Port should be allowed to wear it.

Pies to change to orange jump suits. Absolute scumbags.

 

[brutus76]

Still waiting for that Collingwood away strip.

 

[Scotland]

Just for gags, how would people feel about Collingwood wearing a prison bar jumper design?

 

[Scotland]

They can wear what they like, as long as it's not against Port at Adelaide Oval.

That's a bit mature. Have you thought about throwing your toys out of the cot?

 

[PowerBaz]

Still waiting for that Collingwood away strip.

Don’t they have one? 3.768% more white in the jumper.

I've actually heard 2 Victorian commentators refer to the Collingwood guernsey as the Prison Bars in the last couple of months. Something I haven't heard before. Maybe Ed has instructed his media minions to appropriate it?
