But it's not the WA state jumper.

But it's not the WA state jumper.

And the Port Adelaide Prison Bar jumper isn't a Collingwood Jumper so what's your problem?

What problem?

If you're alluding that the tuggers away kit looks similar to WA's state jumper you're right.

However the difference is WA state does not play in the AFL.

Notice how Perth have a similar kit to Melbourne and their moniker is the demons. I could give 100's of other examples in other leagues.

Secondly, Port gave up their prison bars and magpies emblem to play in the AFL.

I wouldn't call it a problem because Port will never be able to regularly wear their prison bars kit in the AFL. Not how they want to anyway, which is prison bars and magpie emblem.

They agreed when they entered the AfL to be Black, White, Teal and Silver. They seriously need to get over it.

So everyone has to be bound by every decision they made 25 years ago? Ever heard of no-fault divorce laws? I guess I should be angry at that modern-day child who took my seat at kindergarten!

I feel like buying a prison bar jersey with a Magpies emblem on now just to rebel against the mindset of many posters here! I wonder how real-life magpies would feel if they knew they were the subject of such heated debate!

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the consequence of my own actions."

Compromise and move the fu** on, use the prison bar template just use Black Teal white and silver. Those are your assigned AFL colours. Port are Never going to be able to use "Black and white stripes" it's a waste of time and effort whinging to the AFL community about it constantly, you signed your traditional strip away as soon as you entered the AFL.


I get that it sucks for Port fans and you want to wear it as many time as you can but legally you can't, so embrace what you already have or try a new design with a callback to your history.

But where does it say we must use all of our assigned colours? Black and white are our colours, we’re allowed to use them.

I find it flattering Port wants to be like Collingwood. Can’t say I blame them. No one outside Adelaide actually knows who they are.

What colours were Port wearing 150 years ago?

What colours were Collingwood wearing 150 years ago?

What heated debate? Debate sure, dk about heated though.

You can't use just black & white.

 

[Drewie11]

Should probably just focus on winning a game, they’re making the other SA te look good

 

[GoldbergsGold]

Why do they even care, they're not even going to wear it against their team, so it's not like they'll notice. Some weird tribalistic mentality. The colour argument doesn't make sense, since both Carlton and Geelong both share the same colours. Also, Richmond wore a guernsey similar to Hawthorn, no controversy. Sydney wore a red sash, Essendon said nothing.

Show me where it says that?

Port signed agreement not to use the prison bars or anything that would resemble Collingwood when Port entered the league.

I’ve never understood what Collingwoods issue is to be honest apart from being the same colour the prison bar jumper is nothing like Collingwoods as long as they don’t wear it when there playing each other who cares talk about control freaks

So if they had a prison bar jumper with teal as well as black and white then it wouldn’t be an issue?

Not for me, but it's not up to me.

I’m aware but I was making reference to the fact that the original poster said we have our assigned colours, we must use them. I don’t think it says anywhere that we must use all our assigned colours on every guernsey. If we wanted to wear a white guernsey with a black sash, I don’t believe we could be stopped.

I get not really the point of the argument but more a nitpick in the original posters point.

Can you provide evidence of this eternal contractual agreement? They've had many contracts over the years, allowing them to wear the uniform, so your statement seems false. Also, I'm confused as to why Collingwood fans even care, since they're not even going to wear it against them, nor is it the same design. Must be some silly tribal thing.

Did they? If that’s the case, why have they worn it on multiple occasions in the AFL already?

Probably a breach of contract.

Sure of course you can use black and white, no one is saying you can't?
Just add some nice teal to it, and you're good

 

[GoldbergsGold]

No, they've signed contracts, many times.
