When should we wear the bars? (poll)

[EskimoPAFC]

Just a poll - I'm interested in the range of opinions on this.

 

[El_Scorcho]

Good poll. Ultimately I want all home games but that's up to the club and supporter base to decide long term.

All I want from the AFL is the freedom to make this decision as a club.

 

[dirty2]

I want the bars as our main Guernsey.

 

[Rigs]

Might be an unpopular opinion, but I would love our jersey changed every season (like with football (soccer) - Incorporating the black and white more predominately. This will generate more money, with more people buying jersey's - I haven't bought a new one since 2014.

I would still love the PB's featured in a home showdown and on ANZAC day

 

[Interstater]

My position doesn't match the poll options.

- ANZAC Day as 1st priority
- finals against anyone but Collingwood as 2nd priority
- home showdown as 3rd priority

I obviously wouldn't object to us wearing them for all home games but I am content with the three priorities above.

I want the bars as much as possible but that is long term.
But start at 2 home games and work up from there, I personally don't even want to wear them against the Crows....* em.

Definitely Anzac though, even Richmond in the other would be good, we have more history wearing the bars against them than the plastics.

This is the type of opinion that I was trying to capture in option 3 but I probably worded it badly.

Option 3 is meant to basically say that the teal is our guernsey, but we choose when we bring it out for other games, without it ever being considered for our main jumper.

Yeh I'll vote option 3, cheers.

 

[Alberton Proud]

Voted for Showdowns only

I understand the emotional argument to wear permanently but I do see it a little differently

Whilst it's always been the PAFC, we do now play in the AFL and do have our defined colours and a great AFL jumper

The PB's will always be our heart and soul heritage and we should be able to promote and educate why that is

Wearing them once or twice a year makes it a special occasion to celebrate

 

[Pappagallo]

What I want and what I’m willing to settle for are two different things. Deep down I’m an extremist on this issue but still recognise that not all (genuine) stakeholders are so a middle ground will need to be found.

So I voted for Option 1, but I’d settle for Option 3. Special occasion guernsey, few games per year, at our discretion. I think most people could live with that.

 

[TeeKray]

Every week at home, including and especially against Collingwood.

All away games where there is no clash.

 

[Cheesey Mac]

It should be up to us to determine what our home kit is. I voted option 1.

I would tolerate Showdowns or a select number of games a year at our discretion, but if I had my way this would be our home kit.

 

[Needs Gravy]

Simply the right to wear one of our jumpers whenever we choose to.

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

I’m happy with showdowns because I think that is achievable in the circumstances. I would love them to be our main strip though.

 

[PA88]

Thinking about all our past players and legends that wore the jumper since 1902.

PB should be our MAIN jumper.

 

[GremioPower]

Just a poll - I'm interested in the range of opinions on this.

My opinion isn’t there:
- Showdowns;
- ANZAC Day;
- home Finals.

So, three Minor Round matches.

 

[Chewy316]

Would love for it to be our main jumper but I also understand the chance of that is remote - at least for the next 40 odd years or so.

If we are going to push the idea of honouring heritage significance, then at the very least we need to be pushing for both Showdowns and the ANZAC Day weekend game.

I can see a scenario in which the Crows kick up such a fuss about our jumper for their home game (ridiculous) such that we try to get it just for our home game and for our home ANZAC Day game each season. The crows don't have a leg to stand on, but neither do Collingwood and they seem to have such a say in what we wear, so at this point I'm not sure how the politics of it all work anymore.

 

[chiwigi]

I’m happy with Showdowns only, love the chevrons too.
However, I voted whenever (1) as it should be OUR choice.

 

[simba_]

every game, like we originally said. we're just going around in circles until we have a better President and CEO.

Opinion - The PB's - a celebration of 150 years. This year or later?

Pretty straight forward. I'm firmly in the 'wait until we play in front of our home crowd' camp.

[edgie]

Vote for one but would compromise with 3 - as long as it includes home rights vs Collingwood.

Hang on I might have gotten mistaken, is that under 3 times a year, or only every three or so years?

If it's the latter, no way, not enough. My bad.

 

[bomberclifford]

Is this poll what we want or what we think we should be asking for right now?
For me these two things are different.

 

[PowerBaz]

Even i'm a bit over talking about the 'bars'.... keep up the fight but with injuries and a looming suspension i'm more interested in how we go the next few weeks.

 

[finbarr]

Being slightly realistic my position is as follows.

The chevrons can go.
Home jumper is black with silver bars and a white number panel.
Clash is silver jumper with black bars and cuffs and white number panel.
"Special" occasions its traditional black and white bars.

 

[Jones2ByrneJones]

5) Whenever we want.

Not necessarily all the time. Not necessarily once or twice a year. We wear it on our terms.

At this stage the club are pushing for Showdowns only and that's a view I can support/defend, even if I personally prefer more.

Voted 1 though.

You're right. The PB design is objectively awesome in any colour scheme. I would love recoloured designs if and only if they are in addition to our heritage jumper rather than as a replacement.
Made this in 2019 and stand by it - although a white number panel on the home as you suggest would be just as good. And white trim on the away, although I think (like our current grey strip) the black trim is aesthetically superior.
