I went to the club for tea on Saturday and had a look at them on the manikin's in the window. They really do look shit, not that I'd have bought one anyway.
Would have looked better in white with thin black and teal trim in my opinion.
A good idea poorly executed.

it looks perfectly fine, our only problem is that most of our fans are white and so they will look like bellends wearing it!!
I legit am the biggest bellend and I can't wait to wear it

It's officially titled the 'Port Adelaide Power 2016 Basketball Singlet'. It's obvious they're going for the American-style minimalist look so if you're comparing it to those standards I think it's decent. Here's a picture of Chad wearing it:

Looks pretty good there, but then again, everything looks good on the Chad...

Got a couple of 2016 jumpers today. I'll be putting Charlie Dixon's number on one of them when he selects a number. I'll wait for all the numbers to be allocated before I decide what to do with the other. Might get Jack Hombsch's, but with some lower numbers becoming available he may not want to be #36 anymore.

Went to the Port Store today.
-Out of #2 heat pressed numbers. Been on backorders for weeks (cough cough Dixon followers)
-2014 badges $2 each or 10 for $10 (Newton Newton Stevenson Newton)
-Apparently no Soft Shell Jackets for 2016. Super disappointed.

A perosn who I assume was the manager (I though he looked a bit like Woosha) showed me a few things. Nice fella.
He says the new ISC collar is for reinforcement. Understandable, we had a few ripeed jumpers last season. The new collar looks subtle enough for us.

Anything said about the jumper I mentioned above?

They ran out of 2's around this time last year as well. You'd think with so many popular players having a 2 on their back the store would order excess. Cmon, they retail for $7. Wouldn't be much of a hit to be left with a few if the design is changed as opposed to punters walking out not buying a guernsey 'cause it's all too hard.

Those Kane Mitchell fans must be rabid.

The basketball one? Nah not really.
Only getting a feel for demands.
They were unpacking a crap load of them as I walked in though.
New gear coming in every day apparently. No 2016 media polos yet.
The 2016 members hoodie is of a similar fabric to the 2015/16 tech hoodie with the V. Feels nice. Members Scarf is delicious.
I would just wish they had better pricing displayed. "Sale $10" just doesn't cut it on a rack with 5 different items

Port Adelaide Power basketball singlet.
Says it all, yet another abomination.
The best part about you is the fact you live in Sydney. This is good.

Though I agree with you on this point, but certainly not to the degree of your abhorrence.
