2009 Port Adelaide

As the most recent team to enter the AFL, Port Adelaide introduced "teal" to the code. Teal of course is better known as AQUA, although their shade is slightly lighter than the famous colour the Broncos Aquanauts wore.
The Power's 2009 away jersey is nice to look at, but only from the front:


The back of their jersey is not so good though.


Please Port, stop looking so "Jekyll and Hyde" like. Make the back of the jersey white and change the colour of the numbers to black. I know some of the commentators would tell you to change the numbers to black no matter what you do - the sunshine at Subiaco against West Coast in round two made the numbers illegible both on TV and at the ground.
It all isn't bad news though - the 2009 Port Adelaide away jersey is 100x better than the last version:

2009 Melbourne Demons

Their football may suck, they probably shouldn't exist; but the 2009 Demons away jersey looks rather spiffy. The use of one of their older (1980s) logos in navy silhouette on a plain crimson jersey is certainly the right idea behind a "clash" kit. Not too sure about the blue cuffs and neckline, but it's not a deal-breaker.

2009 Storm Jersey

This might seem like a minor issue, but I take major offence at the 2009 Melbourne Storm jerseys this year made by KooGa.

THEY'VE CHANGED THE "UNIQUE" PLAYER NUMBERS.
Here's the pictures:

home jersey - white numbers with gold bevel and purple lightning bolt insignia
2009 jersey - PLAIN white numbers! grrrr!



away jersey - purple numbers with white bevel and white lightning bolt insignia
2009 jersey - PLAIN purple numbers!! grrrr x 2!



Can this be fixed PLEASE! I know it sounds trivial, but the home numbers especially have been like that (with the gold bevel) since 1998.
