tonnitus Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I know Morton don't get to design their own kit but if the blue part was a bit slimmer you'd have a cracking version of the Ajax kits. I agree with that, but we'd still have the sponsor to deal with. Still, at least we're moving up in the world - last time I remember this part of Dougie's sweetie empire being on our kits, it was only Half Pounders. Full quid now, a sign of the increasing influence money has on football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Moving away from hoops for a season is also the club's regular marketing gimmick though: we did so at least twice in the 1990s and again in the 2006/07 season. I'm not quite seeing all the pitchfork waving fury about the new strip tbh, because it's a) not a big deal anyway and b) may look better when, y'know, actually viewed in person rather than in a two-bob photo-shoot for the Tele. Let's not forget that the black top in which we hounded the beggars on their own midden was panned by a majority of posters when it was released. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainDandy Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 That Morton strip Been told by a friend who works in Smiths that the reason it is one single stripe rather than hoops is because there is no hooped design in the Nike team wear for 2016. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 (edited) In normal terms there is really not a lot wrong with that strip. If St. Johnstone churned that out, no one would bat an eyelid. In terms of it being a Morton kit though, christ. It's not even close to being good enough. Even the shade of blue doesn't look right. Also, cheers for taking the unwanted honour of the worst sponsor in the league from us. Though I've not seen this seasons sponsor so I fully accept we may take that title back.

Buddie Holly Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 i'm with the dj.it's not even the right shade of blue.that strip has relegation written all over it-and we are experts at picking a relegation strip!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcintyre_gmfc Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Not read one positive thing about the new kit, it's a fucking riot. That and the yellow and blue effort from this season as our kits would make us the worst dressed football club ever. Scrap the collar, the sponsor, the badge and finally liquidate the club for this effort. TTG JIM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can actually understand why Dougie wants them on the strip as most know the Millions brand and i guess he wants to promote other parts of his sweetie empire, but feck me its embarrassing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMC13 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Strange from Morton to change from blue and white hoops. Nice idea I suppose it's just that it looks horrendously cheap (the sponsor probably helps this). Always thought Adidas and Nike made fantastic kits and couldn't see Nike making something this cheap looking. Is it better or worse than the one in 1993-95? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
