The battle over the Port Adelaide Football Club's "prison bar" guernsey has again intensified, with Collingwood president Eddie McGuire saying he has referred the matter to the AFL's legal department.A petition has been launched, already attracting 15,000 signaturesThe Power launched an online petition on Wednesday to wear the historic black-and-white prison bar strip in future matches against cross-town rivals the Adelaide Crows.
"I am proud to announce that all living captains of Port Adelaide have already pledged their support as part of this petition."Koch said Australian Football Hall of Fame members including Kevin Sheedy, David Parkin, Malcolm Blight and Graham Cornes had also voiced public support for the club's position.
"I don't know if Kochie has decided this is going to be his big go to get his members onside, I don't care," he said. "A football guernsey is more than a piece of cloth. It's about identity, meaning, and purpose. This is why the traditional black-and-white prison bar guernsey is so important for our people.
He said at no stage did the current board sign a "once and done" agreement with the AFL to enable the club to wear the guernsey in its 150th year.
