The 2013 PB with names is and always will be the cream of the crop.

Only one I wear to games. It has that rare elitist touch to it.

Yeah. Not just due to the names, but also the fact they went online for order pre-season 2013 to members. Meaning we were still trading off 2012 form, albeit with the hope a new coach brings with him. So whenever I see someone wearing one I instantly think, "yep, you were on board prior to us becoming good again".

I remember a few people complaining that they couldn't buy one and feeling very little sympathy.

I like the aesthetic look of the EF PB better, but that one has some special significance that goes beyond just having my name on it twice.

So much so that my name appears twice!
We weren't very popular for a while were we!?

 

[CrimsonRaven]

I haven't even found my name yet....

The guernsey IS HERE!*
*Well not in my hands, it's 1km down the road at AusPost due to the incompetent delivery driver leaving a card and doing a runner while I was home

The club facebook page lit up with complaints.

"When did this happen? Why can't I get one? Poor form, Port".

They were advertised very, very heavily during the 2013 pre-season and were quite rightly a members only issue.

"Not all of us can afford a membership, you know!!!!", he says as he unwraps another brand new Playstation/X-Box game that just arrived in the mail.

Anyone know whether '97 commemorative guernseys are available in store yet? Tried calling the Port Store but it went through to the answering machine.

Have been available in store since Saturday.

Very poor form that people who shell out their hard earned for memberships should get some benefit over those that don't

Guernsey still seems to be in Victoria going by the tracking code. I'll be filthy if I don't have it by next Sunday.

2014 EF is the peak a e s t h e t i c Port jumper. I may never have to buy another Port jumper in my life.

You will have it by midweek.

And don't pay too much attention to the tracking. Sometimes it takes a while to update, OR it might not have been scanned by a handler at a certain point of the journey. It could very well be at the Adelaide sorting facility as we speak.

Put your 2013 w/names and the 2014 EF one up for sale on ebay and see which one sells for < $200 and which one goes for $20.

Here is my tracking, as you can see it doesn't update until it's ready for delivery in SA

I own both, but only wear the EF one to games.

The names guernsey has #16 on it and I refer to it as my Ollie Wines rookie guernsey.

The gall of this one was particularly amazing given that the guernsey itself was $260.

I want my name on a relatively expensive piece of PAFC history but I won't shell out less than the price of the guernsey to buy a membership.

I picked up the 1997 away guernsey today, so I can give an official review

The neck and overall fit is a lot looser than previous ISC guernseys, so no more strangling yourself trying to get it off.

A PI with side panels would be absolutely brilliant.

Not sure about the new collar, there is a lot of seemingly superfluous stitching that i'm sure means more in the PIs

Looks amazing, comfy, very happy with my purchase

I'm the same. The 2013 only comes out for special occasions.

The 2013 with names was just such an awesome idea from the club and sold out in next to no time. For the crows' farewell to Footy Park they gave their fans a very cheap and nasty "farewell AAMI Stadium" cap I believe.

My bet is the PI doesn't have side panels

2013 one has sentimental value. It wouldn't be more sought after however. Unless the person is that much of a ****wit that they'd eBay the names jumper to prove they were there pre 2013 there's no reason a person would opt for it over the glorious full colour EF jumper.

Just wanted to show off.

Are all the 2016 Guernsey the same cut?
