Clearly a good earner as they sold like hot cakes. Not my favourite strip but I would love to see the checkerboard strip coming out, it’s so different I think it would sell really well. I’ve got a wee signed pic of Chris Waddle wearing it. I mind at the time we got a lot of piss taking over it but I have a soft spot for it and would definitely buy it. I would love to see a retro version of the late 70’s Bukta shirt as a zip top (like the brockville one from this season), especially with continual bukta logo in the thin tramlines down the sleeves (but it was not part of the zip tops back in the day - see team photo). Although it’s also from a league winning season, It’s probably due to it being from the first games I was taken to by my Dad and Gramps Team photo from the fantastic, better meddle.org.uk. I also used an image of the top Lewis shared many moons ago to give a better idea of the long sleeves with bukta logo and thin tramlines . 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams can't use our small support as a stick to beat us with and then also use it as evidence we deserted the team. We've either got a small support or we desert them - can't be both. There are individuals within our club we despise, however, that is true. Your small crowd deserted you. Just a fact. The abuse Rankin took was ridiculous and he proved you wrong. Strange stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to be Livingston and Partick but I doubt very much what he's saying given they've signed Easton back up, convinced Fordyce to leave his cousins team, Stevenson and are highly rumoured to be after Hanlon. Turner signed for Partick and I'd imagine Raith were after him, Bryne's rumoured to have Livi, Dunfermline, Raith and Partick to choose from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMBairn Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 20 hours ago, RandomGuy. said: Genuinely interested to see how you get on this season, and Calumn Morrison in particular. One who arguably has top flight talent hasn't really shown it consistently? Its a bit surprised hes only 24 though, tbh. The league seems so tight every season that 2-3 wins in a row has folk dreaming of the title, then 2-3 games without a win has you at the bottom fearing relegation, so expecting to see plenty of "leagues a piece of piss/our squad is shit" sequences. I think Morrison will do well, he's improved massively in the last 2 years, last year particularly so. That's been helped by the fact that we have threat on the other wing and though the middle so teams can't afford to put 2/3 men on him all game. Will be a good test for him up against generally better players out wide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morrison like the rest of the squad playing against higher calibre players week in week out will either kick on to better things or find their level. Big season for their careers, so there should be no lack of motivation 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The step up, injuries and age are probably catching up with him but we could have done with him in the 22-23 season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember a yellow Bukta top in those days that was a thing of beauty. There is definitely money to be made in the retro range, older fans like myself who maybe wouldn’t buy current strips are more likely to buy them and the youngsters seem to like them too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I right in thinking it had a collar with the same wingspan as the Angel of the North? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
