TxRover Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 2 minutes ago, pub car king said: I like the idea of having the tartan involved for a change. That said from a design perspective it's a fucking mess. The flat collar which has an additional collar that only comes half way round the neck is bizarre, the tartan on the sleeves against the navy body of the garment is too much. I think strangely enough it would actually have worked better having tartan sleeves on a white shirt because you have break in the colours. Or a tartan body with white sleeves. The use of tartan has to be subtle either down the side or on the cuffs in this instance. Blue shorts and socks make it look worse and the socks look like they were recycled from the half and half kit 2 years ago. White would have at least broken it up a bit. It's definetly a marmite kit. It does look a wee bit like someone blew up a homeless person and sewed their clothes back together thou… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MICMAC Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Top is not for me either. As someone said before, it would've looked better if the tartan was down the side and not the sleeves. A white away strip with tartan sleeves might look better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Why is the trim on the shirt red-white-red but the trim on the shorts and socks just block red? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Driver Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Horrible shirt with far too much going on. Think it will be a training top for me this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebanda's Handyman Services Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 I'll wait patiently for the large amount of folk who don't like it just now saying that it's grown on them... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastie Russell Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Not quite getting the ‘New Chapter, Same Heritage’ strap line Apart from the colour of the top there’s nothing in that design that could be linked to heritage 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 That kit looks cracking, but is IMO ruined by the addition of the collar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirJimmyofNic Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 I guess it'll grow on us, at least it's no pink 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Driver Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 If it wasn't for the 21-22 away kit (red/white candy stripes) then it would rank as the worst kit of the 'Joma era' in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm definitely not into the top, but it probably works better as a supporters top than it does as a full kit. I'm not one for wearing football shirts, but the full navy isn't going to be as over-the-score if you're not also wearing navy shorts and socks. It feels like a missed opportunity to me. I've really liked the Joma kits up til now, I think we've had much more 'unique' fare from them, but this feels like too many people have had input on the shirt and all been allowed to pick their favourite bit, chucked on top of off-the-shelf shorts and socks. Change (or remove) just a couple of details and it becomes a much more cohesive piece of kit. It's not a complete eye-sore. We'll get used to it very quickly, and it's not the kind that you're going to dread seeing in photos in a few years if we have a good season. Fingers crossed the away kit has a bit more about it, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardy Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Also, see if the away kit is white with those tartan sleeves? Would look superb. I don’t mind the top actually. It’ll be a grower with most. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 White round collar, white shorts with same tartan trim and it's 10x better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are essentially if you want to win this league, it's no coincidence we were at our most successful in white socks and haven't been in the top league since we abandoned them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
