Are you implying it isn't a real store?

Typical fake poort with their fake store.

It's a virtual reality experience.

So typical of "Port" to create a fake store

Y'all just

That escalated quickly.

I was probably just pissed off they still haven't got new stock in yet in larger sizes. "2 weeks" every week since early January.

So I went to pre-order the indigenous guernsey online and had a couple issues:

1. There's no option for sublimated numbers and the unique numbers for this guernsey are far too good to not have the option of buying
2. It's $125 + $10 shipping so $135 all up or $122.50 if you're a member. Given the ramping up of merchandising, it's disingenuous to provide a 10% discount only to slug the consumer 2005 shipping prices. It's 2017 and the number of items PAFC sells online should give it the purchasing power to negotiate much more competitive rates for packaging and mail-out.

I'm not buying a retail version purely because the dotted numbers won't be available.

I'll wait for the possible PI/inevitable eBay auctions.

We are on the absolute cutting edge of using numbers as a design feature to differentiate ourselves and I love it.

To be fair we have almost zero competition in this department, so it's pretty easy to be number 1!

The only other example I can think of outside us is St Kilda with the rainbow numbers on last year's pride guernsey.

how's the hat on yeah goodboy goodbye good footy energies

How the bloody hell do you order a gurnsey with a number?!

 

[PatientMental]

How the bloody hell do you order a gurnsey with a number?!

You get a girl working behind the Port Store counter to get you one before the fire-sale of the sublimated Player Issue guernseys the day before they're available to the public.

It's 2017 isn't it?! What is this?! It's outrageous, egregious, preposterous.

If my memory serves and I'm 100 these days so it probably doesn't but some guy on facebook got in touch with ISC and asked them what font they used for our 1997 heritage kit worn in Round 1 last year and Jax were able to make iron-ons to look exactly like the real thing.

I'm sure they could eventually do the same for these numbers?

Yeah probably, it looks like the dotted numbers are standard AFL font anyway so it shouldn't be difficult to replicate.

Quick Ports cap update.

I followed up Elly last week but still didn't get a response. She could be on leave or ignoring me or maybe there is no Elly and I was given a bullshit email address, who knows?! So I've cast my net a bit wider and forwarded it through to General Enquiries, so hopefully they can redirect it to someone who can give me an answer.

Wait and see but if that fails too I say f@#k it, time to go rogue!

& in other news apparently the port store won't be doing a limited run of long sleeve guernseys. This is how it made me feel
