I think this quote sums up if they should or shouldn't wear it.The Crows have stated they are wearing the guernsey “to celebrate South Australian football”. Port Adelaide finds this reasoning peculiar given that wearing it in a Showdown will actually divide the state. This guernsey is a symbol of South Australian football unification, not division.

Well the state is already divided (on football terms) so I find the PAFC statement to be more than perculiar in itself.
Ports statement also says "Our club’s current and former South Australian born players are disappointed by the Crows’ decision".
South Australian Born? There were plenty of non South Australian born players in the state sides, and plenty of them from Port.
