WCE Heritage....

[AGE]

Can anyone explain why the WCE wore the old blue strip against the Crows? I remember they used to wear a predominantly yellow strip with blue trim in their first years. Or am I dreaming?

I dont want anyone thinking im a little sour on yesterdays results but brisbane lions heritage was brisbane bears was it not ?

[Proud Pies]

Yes Joffa, however because Fitzroy merged with them, they believe that they have the Fitzroy heritge and the history that goes with that.

I think Lynch is Heritage ( or is that relic?)

I was wondering the same thing AGE. I was expecting the predomiantly yellow strip.

I agree with you Joffa. Its pathetic the way they carry on as if they are still Fitzroy. Theyre much more 'Brisbane Bears' than they are 'Fitzroy Lions'.

Brisbane history with fitzroy went back to 1996 there real history is the bears of 1987 i dont know whoo there trying to kid by claiming history with the fitzroy lions of 1944 i guess it was to make all fitzroy followers had something to do with the heritage game. brisbane started there history as the bears anyone who says that there history is with the old fitzroy lions are kidding them selfs

And while we are at it what bloody heritage do port power have with port adelaide did they not come into OUR competition as PORT POWER FOOTBALL CLUB...Where is the teal color in there heritage jumper, again the AFL has dumped big time on collingwood by allowing this very ordinary football club PORT POWER with little heritage to wear OUR black and white stripes...I thought there was an agreement when these imbicilic tryhards came into OUR competition they were not to wear black and white...someone has indeed told us big time porkies

Answers please !!!!!


They have been nothing of an imbarrassment since comming into OUR competition i guess REAL premierships are a lot harder to win than some out back country cup thing

West Coast probably couldn't get the jumpers designed for the game, but I am only guessing.

That's not exactly true, there are many former Fitzroy supporters that have supported Brisbane from day one. I would say half of the Brisbane supporters are bandwagoners, maybe even less. I know someone who is a major bandwagon supporter that supports them. Anyways, it's good for some of the long suffering Lions supporters (Fitzroy, not Brisbane) getting to see their jumper again. Too bad it wasn't their last jumper, because I actually liked that jumper.

There was never an official club known as "Port Power Football Club", it was just a nickname made up by the media, fans, etc.

It has always been Port Adelaide Football Club since day 1 it was born.

1. I somehow think if yesterday's game was scheduled in Brisbane I think they would have worn the old Bears jumper.

2. Eagles jumpers? I'm over that now.

and 3. The only positive thing I could find from watching the Port/Carlton game today was seeing who looked good in a B&W striped jumper come trade time.

The Port Adelaide Football Club which has been in existence since 1870 is the one and same PAFC that is now in the AFL. The team currently in the SANFL is a new entity formed in 1997 and is known as the Port Adelaide Magpies Football Club.......

The club is over 125 years old and the idea of heritage week is to celebrate the heratige of the club not the Team........

So I think it is appropriate to select the jumper which was probably the most successful to the club of its history. It also hold significance because we also beat Carlton in that jumper in 1914........
