If Man United and Liverpool can both wear red tops and become two of the biggest superpowers in global sports marketing history im sure Collingwood and Port can survive.
If anything it would probably just add fuel to their rivalry and be a great marketing tool for Collingwood to raise home attendance against a traditional smaller attending club.

WTF do colours really matter in the scheme of things?
Should be allowed to enter and pick whatever colours you like as long as you don't clash when you play similar sides.

Welcome to hypothetical Thursday.

“We at Collingwood are most grateful for Port Adelaide accepting it should enter the AFL with a change from its black-and-white colours and Magpie name which we hold dear to our hearts at Collingwood.
I will reiterate to our board that if the Port Adelaide Football Club should succeed at ranking higher than the Collingwood Football Club for three consecutive years in the AFL then our objections will be waived.”
Port Adelaide ranked higher than Collingwood on its first five consecutive years in the AFL from 1997 to 2001.
