By wearing black and white sox in an away strip stuck me as a desperate angle to appear as though your Club has some sought of divine right to wear the black and white.
You're reading far too much into it. Given that the Power launched a new away guernsey this year that is predominantly teal and silver, your comments seem even more unfounded. I'm not quite sure why you would do it, but it seems like you're just clutching at straws.

Surely the colours Port Adelaide Football Club wears is a decision for the Port Adelaide Football Club to determine & no one else.

Clash jumpers have been introduced this season so as far as I am concerned Port can wear what it wants as long as it changes when it plays away to avoid a clash.

All other clubs were happy to accept the license fee Port paid to join the AFL. Gives Port equal rights in my view.

Collingwood have worn an alternative jumper before:

Port didn't pay the License Fee. The SAnFL paid it as the SAnFL hold the License Port plays in the AFL under. All Port are in a Franchise of the SAnFL playing is the AFL under license. Just like the Crows and the Eagles and Freo in WA.

You Port supporters are sooooo gullible.... then again you are from South Australia.

You've posted an awful lot of nonsense over the years but that is right up there with your most nonsensical efforts. :cool:

What a fantastic guernsey.

Should be wearing it every week, do the colors proud.

Maybe Collingwood should make that their clash jumper and put an end to it:D
isn't it meant to resemble a pier, that way Collingwood is paying a bit of respect to their bayside affiliate.

Collingwood's guernsey rightfully precludes ANY use of it by another team....especially one formed as recently as 1996.

Dont see what the fuss is about...Port maggies still wear it dont they ?...do the Port Power fans want their new club in a new competition to be confused with Port Magpies ?

The sneaky buggers were wearing black and white socks as part of their 'away' strip against Freo last week.

I reckon the pies rabble should be looking over their shoulder a bit more. Especially when their Club gets their whole squad to wear red jumpers in Perth today at training.
Yep, and we won the game too even after giving you a big start. :thumbsu:

The important bit was the premiership points but the tripe posted on these boads by overconfident Dockers posters in the leadup to the match made it all the more enjoyable. :)

As long as the club gets to wear the prison bars in heritage round to recognise it's history I don't have a problem.

:D Nice one Toots. When you guys continously bring up the 4 Australian championships, I thought the wins must have come in the 60's, 70's or 80's. I bet the comeptition was hot back 1890,1910,1913 and 1914 :cool: . Port Adelaide ( todays Port Magpies )comprehensively dominated the SANFL in the 70' and 80's yet not one Australian championship? What does that tell you about the SANFL compared to the VFL? The Port Magpies premierships were a mighty effort but meaningless when compared to the superior competition in the VFL.

Mind you, this post should be on the SANFL boards as it has no revelance to todays VFL/AFL or Port Power, est 1996.

Port should be wearing magenta.
Nice try. Port should be wearing Black, White and Teal. When we joined the AFL, collingwood were already there. It's only fair we wear something different, but still maintain our heritage. Heritage round is different however.

Um, we just finished paying off our licence last year :eek:
It's really not hard people. We were asked to join the AFL. Hence the Port Adelaide Magpies Football Club were created to play in the SANFL. We were the PAFC in 1870, and are the PAFC now, right? ;)

What, so now you, as the "pride of South Australia", are going to trash not only the history of the SANFL but you're also going to denigrate the history of the VFL back in the days of yore! Nice work! :rolleyes:

(BTW Port didn't win a premiership during the years that the Champions of Australia series was played during the sixties and seventies, however North Adelaide won a comp during the seventies so your attempt to bag the SANFL falls a little flat). :)

Yes North beat Port in the 72 GF and then beat Carlton (Jezza was a member of this side, and applauded Barrie Robran while the game was still going) by 1 point. Quite a wonderful achievement.

Confused Tootsie. The championships were only played during the 60's and 70's but yet you guys won it back 1890, 1910, 1912 and 1913 - how does that work?:eek: You've been found out again Tootsie, you resorted to trolling yourself these days?

So really, when it comes to modern day football you could say North Adelaide>>>>>>>>>Port Adelaide?

There was a hiatus. They weren't played continually.

I think they first brought it back as a bit of a trial in 71 and Hawthorn beat North, it was a success so they continued it on for a short while.

You really are a fool aren't you, chokester! :cool:

You're trying to tell us there were no Champions of Australia series between the 1890's and the outbreak of the first world war? :p

It's not surprising that you, who normally crawls about in the gutter, can't be bothered doing some basic research before you venture out to display your ignorance to the world. :cool:
