Mega Thread The Port Store Mega Thread

[steve4445]

I'm unable to get to the Port Store in person for the time being so was thinking of ordering online. Can anyone who has used the online store give me an idea of how good or bad it is? What are the delivery times like for both standard and express delivery?

How's the recovery going champ? Hope ur on track to get to Adelaide Oval Easter sunday

I'm home now and well on the road to recovery. If the game was on tomorrow I'd be good to go. Thanks for the thoughts.

Damn you Chokito, damn you to hell.

Got an email yesterday to say mine had been dispatched and then this morning get this email;

So if I hadn't pre-ordered I could have picked one up this morning

See above

And you would have also saved money by not having to pay for postage and handling.

 

[Kickpuncher]

Yeah a little annoyed seeing I could have saved money and had the guernsey by now.

Did they end up doing the old school block numbering on the '97 jumper?

Apparently only for the PI's. Port Store only doing regular numbers on the retail version. That's what I've been told anyway from someone that's said to have asked.

Then I suppose it's up to us anti-regular-numberites here to find a preferably local firm that embroids/irons/sublimates block numbers onto whichever material ISC uses.

 

[Chokito]

I will take a photo of the back when I get home from work.
There is no number 15 on the back cos I don't know what the go is with numbering for this one, so I may just leave it.
in terms of shipping, I live in Perth so it was despatched on Wednesday and received on Friday. which is quite impressive, since I've ordered over the phone from port store alberton and its taken longer (but alberton have more stock/range)

Was the dog happy to see you?

Hasn't let me out of her sight.

Is the 97 replica a limited edition? I mean, obviously it is limited, but it isn't like the AAMI farewell or 2004 anniversary?

 

[Chokito]

I'd think its limited. Like the PB is no more, neither is the 04 anniversary one.

By the way, for anyone who wants to know, the 97 guernsey replica is in two pieces. The black on the shoulders is the front piece, which attaches to the teal/back panel piece.

Either i've lost weight, or its a looser fit this year with ISC guernseys (slightly)

Seems like we either made too many PB guernseys or Port are just still selling them. They're at Rebel and the Port store. Look sexy A F

I've been patiently waiting for the price drop on those bad boys for so long now. One Rebel I went to had them down to $90, but most are still full price, and they never seem to have sold any.

Could easily see myself buying a second one. Those guernseys are fantastic

Yeah 125 still at the Port shop!


Also now that they're gone, I wish I grabbed one of the sbs retro guernseys we wore in 2014.

I couldn't justify it at the time after having dropped $260 or whatever it was on the PB guernsey with the names on it, but I want one and I will get one at some point.

 

[TeeKray]

Guernseys in general are overpriced. IIRC they set you back about $110 plus $15 for a number (!). I'd buy a lot more if they were reasonably priced.

 

[Kickpuncher]

Only reason I didn't get the sbs guernsey was because of the botched design.

 

[Shaxx Attaxx]

Yeah, I think people were a little too critical of it IMO. Just had a look at it now and the thing that annoys me is the names all over it.

I didn't get one of the name ones and I kick myself to this day for not doing it. Now I just get them and tell myself they will be something my kids can grow into and enjoy as well hahaha

I convinced my Nan to go and test drive a Renault Captur, which she loved, and bought. My 'spotters fee' is the $100 Port Store gift card that she got from the club.

This is my collection. Yes, I own one of Paul Northeast's slowdown guernseys.


So, my question is, should I buy a new BiB (obviously far superior to the Reebok one which doesn't fit any more) or should I buy a 1997 commemorative guernsey?

 

[Dylan8]

97!

'97 jumper.

The BiB won't be going away any time soon. So you'll have plenty of time to get that later.
