Port Adelaide to wear traditional prison bars outfit twice in 2020
Port Adelaide will wear their traditional black and white 'prison bars' guernsey in both Showdown clashes against Adelaide next season.
AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan confirmed on Melbourne radio station 3AW that the Power had reached an agreement with Collingwood on the issue.
"I'm not sure if it is public, but I can confirm that they will be playing it in their Showdowns for their 150th season," McLachlan said.
"My understanding is the agreement between Collingwood and Port Adelaide is for next year only."
The club will honour its SANFL history by wearing the outfit.
Co-captain Ollie Wines was delighted with the news.

"I love the 'prison bars', it's my favourite jumper of all time. [I'm] very excited," Wines said.
"It's our roots, it brings us back to Alberton when the club started 150 years ago off the people off the wharves."
The Power last sported the jumper in their 2014 Elimination Final victory over Richmond.
