spot on Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 First impression is it’s a bit of a dugs dinner, although hopefully it will grow on me ……. Still a lot better than the Celtic effort though 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithfan2711 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 (edited) As feared in the photo earlier, things don’t match. It’s an utter dugs dinner of a top. Worst home top in years. If rumours of a yellow away top are true god knows how that will turn out. Still, I’ll be buying them both Edited June 30, 2023 by Raithfan2711 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverthemoon Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Looks like two different strips sewn together - when weirdly either on their own would have been class. And that collar is odd. So not for me but not going to get hung up on a strip. We’ve won leagues and cups in honking strips before so hopefully can do it again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Typically if you bring out something as bold as this you normally temper it with a classic alternative kit such as a plain white effort. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Been going too long Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 20 minutes ago, Raith Against The Machine said: The tartan goes back a good few decades, to be fair. 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. Tartan trim on the shorts and socks instead of red would have given a Scotland euro 96 vibe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Soze Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Underwhelmed to say the least, hopefully the away top is better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Not a fan, but it's unlikely I'd have bought it even if I liked it, so no loss to the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raithie Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Wonder what the cost differential is for getting Joma to make a bespoke top to an off the shelf template. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverthemoon Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 (edited) Just seen this. Looks better in the full length. And just seen the Celtic top so could be A LOT worse. Edited June 30, 2023 by roverthemoon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've always been a bit identikit. There is no "truly Rovers" unless the idea is to just regurgitate the seagull shit on the shoulder design as the last time we were decent. Imagine if we did the unthinkable and got promoted in this kit? We'd have folk demanding re-treads of it every 5 years down the line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just par for the course this season, all strips are honking, Airdrie have still to reveal this year's special, and it's made by JOMA as well.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
