Because if the AFL would approve it, we'd have done it by now.
I'm a first gen too. Parents were English and Irish, Dad played rugby, it was pure chance that I started following Port, but I'm dyed in the wool nowI am first gen and I love it. But you are probably right.
Now that's an idea - a finals jumper.I would like to see us have the option to wear it in a Final if there was a Clash, ie Richmond 2014.
This guernsey that I picked up a few years ago is a bit curious too wrt our scant use of silver over the journey. I don’t know the story behind it but judging by the template and general layout of the design my best guess is that it is a prototype that eventually morphed into our 2004 teal lightning bolt clash.
If this is true, why the change from silver to teal? Was it just an aesthetic choice by us, or did we submit a silver one to the AFL only for it to be denied? And if so, why?

We could win a flag in the chevrons but the supporters will be wearing prison bars. Especially now.
A couple of flags is a drop in the ocean compared to what the PBs means to this club. The SBS guernsey was dumped what, 6 years after we wore it for our greatest achievement as a club?
We already have a generation of supporters born since 1997 sitting in the crowd wearing bars. Young people buy in and engage with the traditional aspect of a footy club just as much as people who have seen 15 flags in person.
If we ever achieve total self determination, we'll be wearing the bars as a full time home guernsey within 3 years. It's no fault of the chevrons, they just can't compete. Not aesthetically, not thematically, and not in the hearts and minds of Port Adelaide people.
I love that guernsey. PB's are always the #1 choice, but if we can't have the PB's I'd much rather we wore that full time than the chevrons.lol, no. This one.

The chevrons just look like a FIFA create a guernsey that nobody bothered to put much thought into. If you told me tomorrow that we were never wearing them again, I wouldn't miss a beat.

Going from memory, everything was pointing towards us using silver as our compromise colour as the years towards the second AFL bid/entry rolled on, beginning with the silver Port warm-up jackets and culminating with widespread rumours we’d be pulling the trigger on a silver and black prisonbar.
But it’s been suggested previously that thanks to the NBA and Charlotte Hornets blowing up in Aussie schools circa 1993-5, the ponytailed marketing w***ers did enough to convince the board/AFL to move away from the silver plan and pull the trigger on teal and ‘IT’S THE NINEDEEZ’ cartoon branding.
Carlton and Geelong have been wearing the same colours for 124 years. Apparently this is OK.
