Why is Collingwood so insecure?

 

[jdeezy]

I thought for the point of your argument you would claim Collingwood is singing the song?

The jumpers are the same after all according to Eddie.[emoji6]

Between Collingwood's AFL team, their VFL team, Port's AFL team, and their SANFL team, Collingwood have managed 4 wins today despite only playing 2 games. No wonder they are the biggest club in the history of the game.

Best guernsey in the world.

Collingwood could wear what they wore today against what Port wore for the song there and there wouldn't even be a clash.

can anyone honestly say they'd have trouble distinguishing these two teams from one another? the backs also look completely different.

You would probably have to get rid of the number panel for port i think

 

[troybe]

Collingwood could wear their 1982 Escort Cup Heritage jumper!

you may be right about that but i think it's still different enough with the solid black back that it doesn't look like the stripes collingwood have on theirs.

Is the teal on the logo enough to satisfy pies fans?

Have PA got too cute for their own good? The AFL statement is an outright ban for round 8, not just during the match.


"On that basis, and consistent with the arrangements that have applied to all previous instances of use of the "prison bar" guernsey by Port Adelaide since the Club joined the AFL (i.e. with the approval of the AFL and Collingwood) the AFL does not grant permission for the guernsey to be worn in Round 8."

Statement: Port Adelaide request to wear black and white striped guernsey

The AFL confirms it has not approved the request for Port Adelaide to wear a black and white striped 'prison bars' guernsey for the Round 8 match vs Adelaide Crows

Then bring on the penalty. It’ll be like throwing fuel on the fire.

 

[Liam Boy]

if the AFL penalise port for this, it'll be widely seen as a ridiculous overreaction and probably increase sympathy for their cause.

That’s the genius of it.

Pretty sure once the match is over, they can't do jack

This combination happened during a pre season match in the early 1990s.

Oh this is going to be news in Adelaide weekly for the next year isn't it.

Those jumpers definitely clash.

Those jumpers definitely clash.

Less of a clash than Anzac Day this year

 

[Freshwater]

What if Gold Coast or even Giants were to redesign their guernsey to a prison bars template? Queensland in the old State-of-origin used to wear a great maroon prison bars and the Geelong Football League inter-league team wear a great navy blue and white pb guernsey. This would get Port into the grey and white or grey and black pb’s fairly quickly.

But why would Gold Coast or Giants want to do that?

Except doing so makes zero sense

Black and white clashes with black and white worse than black and white clashes with black and red. The match up above would be horrific for fans and probably umpires as well with the speed of the game. This match up would (should) never fly.

Funnily enough though, Collingwood removing a stripe has reduced the likeness. Port still needs less white on their jumper though.

Great for Crows supporters

 

[Freshwater]

Gold Coast need an Australian rules football jumper not a soccer jumper they wear now. And I’m still not convinced on the Giants jumper either, any jumper that looks one colour from the front and different from the back doesn’t work.

That’s fair but why would they choose to do prison bars over every other possible design? It’s a pretty crazy hypothetical.
