Mind, the St Johnstone home shirt is the exact same as what non-league clubs such as Eastleigh wore in 2016/2017...

The company we had before hit difficulties about six months ago so we've probably had a deal agreed with Macron for a while now.
I'm happy with it tbh, simple blue top, which will last more than a wash, will do me fine after some of the fucking horrors we've had with Joma/BLK.
I'll never moan about any yellow away top either.
If I recall correctly, they didn't even deliver the home shirts until quite late; you were stuck playing in that maroon/gold monstrosity for the start of pre-season including the match at Shielfield.
Below is Eastleigh's shirt from the 2016/2017 National League; three years old at this point, yet Macron have been unable to give St Johnstone something better for 19/20 in the top flight. It's either a rush job or pure contempt, imagine it's the former. For comparison, Edinburgh City unveiled a new design (albeit a template) for their away shirt today;

That contract must have been signed late because that home shirt is a template from two years ago. Not quite as hot a mess as the BLK shirt but very, very disappointing.

ADO Den Haag is playing HVV Laakkwartier on the 6th, in The Hague (which is close enough to Amsterdam not to be bothersome).
That same day AZ plays Club Brugge, albeit in Garderen (about 80 minutes by car).
Feyenoord is playing FC Dordrecht in Dordrecht (not sure how long that will take by car)
I would say ADO is your best bet here, the other Eredivisie clubs play their matches too far from Amsterdam (either in NL or abroad) or on different days.
Akshually, that same day SC Telstar's Open Day is taking place; it starts at 14:00 with a 17:00 kick-off for Telstar - VV IJmuiden in Telstar's home stadium (30 minutes from A'dam city centre). Free entry, and you can go onto the pitch before the match, sit in the players' coach, get autographs, and tour the changing rooms, physio chamber, and the offices if you ask nicely; new shirts will be on sale, and matchworn tops will be sold off for cheap*.
*I will be there myself a few hours early to buy every single matchworn shirt but can reserve one for you if that's your thing and you decide to go.

Are East Stirlingshire players riding in the Tour De France, attempting to swim the English Channel, or getting into a boat with Steve Redgrave types?
Nothing of the sort, they are playing in the same league as Berwick Rangers.... oh....

Dunfermline announce of Twitter they will release a black and yellow jersey on Friday, would be happy with one of the two designs below

My money's on the second (Airdrieonians have it in black and red), the first is an older template.
Macron fcuked up with Motherwell's home kit, I don't think combining the chest band with pinstripes was a good idea, but that away shirt is as close to a 10 out of 10 as you can get. Also pictured is East Stirlingshire's daring new away kit;

What the f**k 30 years with Adidas to go to the Tesco 2 stripe of kit makes
Joma are vile, but they seem to pay well - can't blame clubs even if they will go around looking like right twits. Case in point, St Mirren getting hand-me-downs from Partick and Swansea.
Anyway, Maccabi Tel Aviv, featuring forgotten brand Fila. Because Barcelona's checkerboard shirt had to be topped in terms of being awful;

Pheeeeew...thankfully something that resembles an actually football strip again.
Please don't let the back be solid white...please don't let...
I feel like Brentford is telling us porky pies..... The club very specifically mentioned in the press release that it was the players and staff who requested 'a solid white area' to 'enable enhanced visual identity'. I don't believe that for a second, but it's better than no stripes on the back at all. No need to lie about who asked for it though.

PSV away - orange since it's the national colours, and checkers to emulate the flag of the province of Brabant;

St Mirren did even worse last season; they got the exact same template Partick Thistle wore in 17/18 (despite the Jags playing a division lower than the Buddies). Now they've gone and gotten Swansea's 18/19 shirt with two added stripes. Mind, the back is plain;

Oh, and about the away shirt.....

disappointing any kit manufacturer would want to have any association with this mob to be quite honest
Beitar's previous suppliers were the world-famous, renowned..... Givova.
Talking about Harrogate, their new top is a right mess. Fading one inch stripes like on Manchester United last year, except even worse;

Hi mate, I lived in Singapore; you're in for a good, if expensive, time.
The football season will be in full swing, so do consider dropping by one of the few stadia that are still in use. Local football is on its arse, tickets are 5 or 6 SGD depending on the club and they can all use the support, so give it some thought.
Give the treetop walk a google; it's up near MacRitchie Reservoir and includes a really nice hike through the jungle, wild monkeys and all. It's free to boot, and you get some lovely views.
Don't go to restaurants, eat exclusively at hawker centres. Amazing food, amazing prices - B-Gain at Clementi was my fave spot, but the old airport in the East was good too. Don't give any of the places at Marina Bay a cent, overpriced and crap food. You may want to stop by for a peek at the architecture and the free parts of the botanical gardens, though. You can also walk across parts of the Formula 1 track (some of the straights are pedestrians-only).
Geylang is the red light district, they do good frog porridge there if you're feeling adventurous. Chinatown is worth a visit too, especially if they have a festival going on (they did last time I was there at the end of July).
Jurong out in the West is lovely, the Chinese and Japanese gardens are free and there's a turtle zoo/museum that charges just a couple of SGD to let you in and toss food at a swarm of the little buggers. Can be combined with an evening match at Jurong East Stadium where Albirex Niigata Singapore and Warriors FC play. Good waterpark right next door too, now that I think about it.
Never bothered with the zoo and night safari myself, so can't comment.

I wore my original to my final high school class picture. If there has been a reunion since, I never got invited!

New white away kit launched today by the European Champions ...
Lots of fans pissed there's navy blue on the shirt. Too close to Everton for comfort, it would seem.

Belterrrrrrrrrrr (decided by a kit vote wherein fans could vote for one of three old away kits - this winning design inspired by the '93 away top);

Fun fact; Clyde are the first team to wear Kappa in the SFL.
Now for something a little more.... unfortunate.... Plymouth Argyle away.

Nah, have more faith. The Dutch are brilliant, I think big things are coming from them the next few years.
Maybe; as of yet we are too reliant on Memphis in terms of attacking prowess, and our depth in terms of goalkeepers isn't the great (that and I don't believe anyone can remember the last time Cillessen stopped a penalty). Portugal isn't exactly the bee's knees either, but Ronaldo is a thing and many of our players have had a ridiculous season (v. Dijk and Wijnaldum were in the CL Final, players like De Ligt, who is still only 19, had to take Ajax to the CL semi all the way from the second qualifying round).

Three times; they beat us in the Group stage at Euro 2012, we drew them 1 all in a friendly a year later, and clobbered them 3-0 in a friendly in 2018. Home advantage plus an actual Trophy (however small) make me wary of expecting a repeat of that most recent performance.
And yes I'm still salty about 2006. c***s.
