I have often wondered what would happen if the power cheer squad and fans in general just dumped the teal. Only black and white flags at the ground, magpies chant etc.. If the fans wanted to they could probably change it but have accepted it.
The merchandise $$ would dry up as all the fan gear has the teal.
Exactly why the fans would win..if the AFL couldn't sell teal and letting the power have black and white meant $$ then they would ultimately yield. If I did see the port AFL side as the original and actively supported them would not support the teal one bit. Assuming it is the real port then wearing it is a slap in the face. Not only 3 blue & white sides but the crows were let in when Fitzroy already had those colours. If port power didn't want to deliberately separate themselves into a new entity then they sure got bent over hard by the AFL.
