Funny I had a guy last week posting a video of Stuparevic scoring one just like that saying "This is what you're getting Motherwell fans" Big Moses says "Haud ma beer" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatcalf Posted Saturday at 10:14 Share Posted Saturday at 10:14 Oh I forgot. Someone asked the other day if anyone was part of the fans forum regarding the new kit. I was. And can I just say none of the recommendations made that night were put into this kit apart from maybe hoops on the socks. Just to cover our arses I have it in writing what was sent to the club, basically that last years kit was as good as it gets in terms of a traditional design. I take it they felt it was ok just to roll with whatever took their fancy but it definitely wisnae me Guv. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current Board / Well Society / fan engagement model in a nutshell If by some miracle we win a cup wearing it, it will no doubt suddenly become very popular. I can't see it breaking any merchandise sales records otherwise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said it made sense commercially to change it now and again. Can see that point, don't agree though, there are other aspects that can be changed sufficiently to make it different but still accept that viewpoint from their side. Anyway I made a suggestion that we revert back to the Yoke for a season if they had to do that, kind of a tribute to our first C&A jersey. I'm wondering if they are trying to claim this influenced it. Poor attempt if that was the thinking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazylegsjoe_mfc Posted Saturday at 10:42 Share Posted Saturday at 10:42 I do understand that now we live in a world where there's a neccesity for a new strip every single season, that it can be difficult to maintain a claret band (or hoop) whilst changing the strip sufficiently to justify selling it. Celtic manage to do it with green and white hoops, as do Killie with blue and white stripes. I was actually thinking that we hadn't had claret sleeves and a band since 2013/14 and that would be what we were destined for this season. The thing that I like about our colours and design is that it oftern feels like our kits have quite a bespoke design to them. This season it seems like Macron gave us a catalogue and told us to choose one and it was the closest fit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice wee jolly for Bob Park and Suzanne when they could just have looked at the catalogue though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted Saturday at 10:48 Share Posted Saturday at 10:48 Playing the long game, this season’s t-shirt will appeal to some but next years classic ‘Well top will sell out as folks clamour for the traditional look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatcalf Posted Saturday at 10:49 Share Posted Saturday at 10:49 For the record I have proposed a change back to Stripes in 2027 to celebrate 100 yrs since the King of Spain triumph. If it happens am claiming it 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vietnam91 Posted Saturday at 11:21 Share Posted Saturday at 11:21 While our colours aren't overly unique the band pretty much is, why we've ditched it for the 2nd time in 3 seasons is just meh. As Matt said, if it was a warmup or leisure top fair enough. If we do end up in a cup final with it I hope it's against Hearts, Aberdeen or Dundee United and we're out the hat second. Appreciate I'm saying that before having any idea of what the away top looks like. What's Bob Park going out to Macron HQ for, do a Health and Safety assessment of the material used? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Them two were effectively running the club before Brian Caldwell came in so he probably pencilled himself in for it. Nice wee jolly along with Alan Provan but no real need. Quite sure Provan would have been able to deal with it himself. Oh and when I say before Brian came in I mean since Flow left near as dammit. Weiry basically delegated a lot of the responsibility and they took up the slack. Might explain a bit more again.

David1979 Posted Saturday at 13:25 Share Posted Saturday at 13:25 Maybe a simplistic way of looking at it, but I've always believed the home kit should be more of a traditional look. Sure, change the sleeves a little, add a trim, alter the collar. Socks are open to change as well. But the band should always remain. The away kit is where we can get creative. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
