Wearing the following seasons top just for the cup final was odd. Think that's quite common in Scotland and in England? Probably first seen when Wimbledon did it in the 80s but is a showcase for the new kit, generates new sales (clubs won't often have supplies of the old kit available even if they did want to sell them) etc. We certainly wore new kits in our 2 recent Scottish Cup final appearances (and neither were classic Pars kits but they sold like hotcakes). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s one of the easiest business decisions going and one I’m sure we’ll make again if we did get to the final 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible due to pressure from Totten who hated the chequered effort. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always felt we should have stuck with the red strip that got us there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It 100% came from someone in Elliot’s in the 1980’s. The guy who I first heard singing it is a poster on here (or at least he used to be, not seen him on for ages) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
