Quite hard to tell from the photos! They did but there has been some sort of issue with production/delivery so we were wearing the nameless version on Sat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very tinpot as everyone gets into a new season. Assuming you mean the famously horrendous Elms/SportingID, I wasn't talking about the players jersey name/number - the Stenny jerseys were supposed to have supporters names sublimated in the actual design of the shirt which seemed to be missing from the design 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Clyde done the same thing there were numerous issues with it, and we didn't start wearing the jersey until well into the season - late September/Early October iirc. We never wore a nameless version so had to wear our away kit until they arrived 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francesc Fabregas Posted August 7 Author Share Posted August 7 The club have launched a new away strip: I can't say I like it very much - there's too much maroon in it, which will surely clash whenever we play a team who also wear maroon, and the daft ovals through the pattern look like something from MS Paint. Still! At least our home top's a cracker! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christophe Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 (edited) According to the club website this will debut in the Kelty game, i suppose it's up to the ref on the day if he thinks it's distinctive enough from the home team's kit. If it's entirely white on the back then i think we will get away with it! Got me thinking though, of possibilties of a 3rd kit! Think the last time i remember us having a third kit was the Black Umbro number that was the back up to the Yellow/Blue Challenge Cup season away kit. Fitting given the new home design homage! Entirely possible i'm completely misremembering that though and that was possibly just an away kit! I quite like both tops this year, but they don't appear to do them for fatties, XL the biggest size on the link on the website so i'm out!

Old Fashioned Stramash Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Another quite unique kit, quite like it and the tartan trim. Agree with FF, in that it's a bit weird having so much maroon on it and the inevitable clash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilly Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 After a summer of media gaffes, poor communication and administration I would not be bowled over in shock if we got told we can't wear this on Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francesc Fabregas Posted August 8 Author Share Posted August 8 Scott Burns, who's generally reliable, has linked Stenhousemuir with former Partick Thistle midfielder Blair Alston. It's an intriguing signing. I didn't think central midfield was necessarily a position we were looking to strengthen in, and we all remember how poorly Craig Bryson flopped when he dropped into part-time football, but a fit and focused Alston should be able to offer us something good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Blackwell Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Suspect Nat won't play as often this season, so probably first choice midfield of Anderson, Jacobs and Alston. Any word on Nicky Jamieson's injury? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any word on Nicky Jamieson's injury? I spoke with him very briefly on Saturday and he reckons he'll be back in business by around November. They've found the root cause of his injuries, which is good, but it does mean he'll be absent for a wee while while he recuperates. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite nice all the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And indeed, Blair Alston has joined the club. I'm a bit sceptical of this signing but I wish him well and hope he can do us a sterling turn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 I can't believe that Blair Alston is only five years older than me. I was sure he was about 32 during the Covid season when he returned to Falkirk for his second stint. He must've been about seven-years-old or something when he made his SFL debut. It feels like he's been around for my entire life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite nice all the same. As long as the sleeves are different and especially if that sash doesn't go onto the back too I'd be surprised if the referees would be that bothered about it, although aesthetically for me the sash is too wide The fact that both of Kelty's kits have maroon sleeves is likely to be a far bigger problem when they play away to both yourselves and Arbroath. Caused no end of problems when we had a yellow away kit with blue sleeves a couple of seasons ago as most refs wouldn't let us wear either kit away to a team in blue. . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Am Featha Taigh Nan Clach Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 I think that's an excellent signing and a far higher calibre of player than I'd expected us to get at this stage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
