Yep

I was calling them the West Adelaide Wasps...

Good looking kit, but as stated get rid of the laceups, leave that to the Magpies.

One of the main reasons they looked so good IMO is that there was no sponsorship badges on them, don't get me wrong we all need the sponsors but they do look better without it.

No, but I believe it's the last time any Port Adelaide club was financially stable.
Your ignorance is understandable.

Love the guernsey.

I don't understand why 'traditional' guernseys have to have the fake laces. I'm sure if you search the record books no-where would it say their uniform had "x's" in the midst of it. The guernsey would've been black with red hoops with black shorts.

Get rid of the dumb laces from all heritage or traditional guernseys. They look terrible.

I know, I believe Sturt was the last to use them? 2000 comes to mind? Anyway, my point was, if you want laces on there, have real ones. Or of course you can't, so don't have the fake ones.

Spot on! Fake laces on these modern fabric guernseys look ridiculous!

I believe Sturt and Port had them up until 2001 before they were outlawed in 2002.

Not one joke about Cupido leaving the same week Westies wear the less than flattering horizontal stripes.
