Jackie Myles Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 10 minutes ago, ShaggerG said: Are you sure about that? I hope so because I was just about to berate the new guys for not reading the room properly! The first time we wore an all navy kit (well certainly in modern times) was at Ochilview and it was a terrible season. The next time was when Houstie got binned and McKinnon appeared, the next was Hartley. Now, I get that we've been pish since but I'm sure you can see where I'm coming from! Hopefully the away strip will have white shorts that can be worn with the home kit. I like away strips to be a wee bit jazzier, without being too over the top and I'd like it to be something like ICTs new home kit, but in white. First time we wore all blue was 1889 no idea whether we were shit then too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that we were contracted to Puma, which is fine, but surely we could have said 'give us some white shorts please'? I may be wrong but I’m pretty sure it was mentioned that colours have to be submitted to the SPL well in advance also. I’m not sure if that included shorts, socks etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinatoon Bairn Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Apply acetone to the inside of the kit where the sponsor sits with a cotton bud. Thank me later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 That top is a carrot logo away from being an absolute cracker Historically we've not actually had red socks that many times, especially considering most of the early strips were worn anywhere between 3-9 years on the trot. Would prefer white shorts though 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a look at Better Meddle and we did not too badly during the period that we wore them, but there were some wild scores including 3-12 and 5-12 home defeats to Albion Rovers! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 12-3 scudding of the Pars would make it the greatest strip ever 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebobsboy Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 The top is ok, not a fan of one colour kits which is a trait we have a habit of going back to. White shorts n red socks and thats a smart looking home kit. It's too bland with it being plain n one colour. Not the worst kit we have ever had but it's nothing great. Tbh with it being the last season with puma I didn't think it was going to be great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would have been stuck with that choice from then. I hate all Navy too. Reminds me of the Hartley/McKinnon relegation strip 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Myles Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Is the recent blue shorts fad simply to avoid clashing with other sides at times? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait till they bring out another blue away kit n have the same issues as last season thus having to rush out a generic puma template third kit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18BAIRN76 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 In ex-player related news, Will Vaulks has just signed for Sheffield Wednesday. He's gone on to have a pretty solid career and tbh not many deserve it more. Some bloke. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have gave us white shorts and red socks in that case. Only thing I can think of is was cheaper to make it all blue. I'm expecting an all white or red away kit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Anyone else got a slight concern at lack of signings especially after todays strip launch? Maybe just worried about nothing…… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe just worried about nothing…… It's frustrating but at the same time other teams in our league aren't really flush with signings either, also still more than 5 weeks until the actual season starts. I'm worried about who we'll end up having as our striker as arguably that's the most important piece of the puzzle so that's giving me the fear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
