PAP smears in prison bars

[therisingblues]

And how many teams wear Blue and White? No problem there.

something the VFL/clubs at the time failed to address correctly (imo)

Weren't the Crows colours the same as the Fitzroy Lions when they joined? What is it with Collingwood?

did Fitzroy object? No. Hence the AFL had no need to act- also, the Crows weren't trying to call themselves the Lions either.

And I am not taking it as a snub that those conditions were upheld, but rather, those conditions were introduced in the first place.

Collingwood were within their rights to protect their image in a world exceedingly corporatised.
Again, Port joined the AFL knowing they could not wear Black & White & be known as the Magpies- end of story.

Point 1: They didn't address it. This is a line they should have been consistent with.
Point 2: As with the three blue and whites no need to address it, if Fitzroy objected they'd be as hypocritical as Collingwood.
Point 3: Port joined knowing they were getting snubbed, but were desperate to get in anyway, they also sold out a lot more than their colours just to get a license. Perhaps two teams known as the Magpies in a 16 team comp' is one magpie too many, but two black and white teams shouldn't have been a problem IMO.

When Port were denied their Magpie guernsey in the AFL, I took it as a snub to all SANFL clubs.

*sigh*
When Port Adelaide signalled their intention to join the AFL, there was already a Black & White team called the Magpies, who quite rightly objected.
Therefore, Port were required to come up with an alternate nickname & colours if they wanted to join, & as they still wanted to join after those conditions were placed, they came up with the alternate "Port Power" & a jumper consisting of black, teal, white & silver (although silver was no immediately introduced).

Perhaps theri you should take it as a snub that Port wished to turn it's back on the SANFL- not the AFL for insisting the conditions they joined under are upheld....

I understand there was already a team nicknamed the Magpies. Fair enough Port had to come up with another nickname. If Port wanted to wear the Collingood jumper (and god only knows why anyone would want to wear the current abomination they mascaraed around in) then i can inderstand Collingwood objecting. If Port wanted to wear Black and White against Collingwood i can also understand Collingwood's issue. I can't, however, work out the reason why Collingwood care if Port wear the prison bar guernsey whenever they like. So what if it is the same colours the design is completely different. As has been pointed out no other club has such insecurities as to not allow another to wear the same colurs providing they have a different design. I really hate sticking up for Port but i can't help but feel Collingwood have some sort of inferiority complex as to insist no other club wears Black and White.

Personally i'd like to See Port wear the prison bars every week just so there is the chance to see that guernsey lose.

So you say that Port player wear mascara? Life is a masquerade old chum

Well when Hueskes was there

I am a firm beleiver,

One Country, One Flag.

One Footy Team, One Jumper

I don't see the Clash of colors in footy....

But it was funny to watch Collingwood v Geelong on Black & White TV......

Back in the old days....

Did the Players have a problem with it....?

NO.

You Died for your Jumper...!

Why Persist with it Port...?

It's not POWER

[redden whites]

[johntheclaret]

is one magpie too many,

As the rhyme goes.

One for sorrow
Two for joy

I'm glad this has been resolved must admit.

Even though I'm a Collingwood supporter, I don't see what the fuss has been about wearing the black and white for heritage rounds, as long as it wasn't against us.

Pretty simple really. amazed it took this long to get a resolution.
