This time, it's the Collingwood Football Club, who currently claim AFL rights to the "prison bars" syle guernsey, who have stoked the fire by suggesting that they might be:
...prepared to allow Port Adelaide to wear its prison bar jumper once a season if the Power was prepared to use teal instead of white on the bottom panel of the historic strip.
As reported in the Herald Sun this morning, the Pies are not prepared to let Port Adelaide wear a black and white striped guernsey. But, in a move that can only be described as an insult, they seem ok with this less-than-palettable alternate:

So will there ever be a mutual solution to this ongoing saga? Probably not. But if "black and white stripes" appear to be the specific point of contention here? Why not just add in some teal detailing to the stripes. Something like this perhaps?
What do you think?
Let me know in the comments section below.
