Those are only the current SPFL teams. There were other local teams - our first opponents, Bonnybridge Grasshoppers, bening a perfect example. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeodhasXD Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Having seen the little graphic representation the heritage strip is nicer to me than your home or away ones. I can't help but get the same vibes from the previous Dunfermline third kit however. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dropping hints about the colourscheme of an unreleased strip because you saw it (I presume) on a Prematch Ops document. I thought those were confidential. Way to go Leodhas.

If it was to remain a secret then release it before you have to disclose kit colours. Although I can understand being the only news story on this quiet Thursday. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopeStreetWalker Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 On 25/10/2023 at 15:11, ShaggerG said: I think you've got to remember that it was founded as 'Falkirk Football and Athletic Club', so maybe there was more emphasis on the athletics bit initially? There was an old guy who worked at Falkirk Iron Works I spoke to in 1970 when I worked there. He told me the first Falkirk team mostly comprised of members of Carron Company's various department's football teams who had a company league. Since Carron Company was by far the biggest employer at that time it would make sense that they would have played some part in the club's formation since they would be by far the biggest concentration of teams in the area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
