houston_bud Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 New top looks good. Fingers crossed it doesn't have a big white panel on the back of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as it's B&W I'm not too much bothered, I'd quite like to see us play in a yin-yang outfit which I think could accommodate the logo between the two dots easily. You won’t be alone, there will be other folk who don’t give much thought to the strip, as long as the guys wearing it are winning football games. I do think the majority of folk have an opinion on them though, and as long as the strip leans towards what we’ve had recently, rather than, let’s say, the JD Sports Brian Caldwell had a bad trip strip, they’ll be happier. For those of us who DO enjoy a close-season new strip w**k-a-thon…. Let us enjoy our fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) Like the Captain, I'd prefer it without cheques. The sponsor fitted last seasons kit better, this time it breaks the stripes a bit too much for my liking, but it's not the worst looking sponsor and Macron have at least kept everything symmetrical with the badge and their logo positioned well. Will it have complete stripes on the back? Looking at the image you can see stripes on the reverse side, look at the hem at the bottom, but does it incorporate a "back plate" for the numbers? Personally I think last seasons strips were probably the best home/away combo we've had in years, so I didn't expect us to match that this time round, especially with a new kit manufacturer. I've not seen the away top, but going by the home one, I presume it's going to be a red and black chequer pattern incorporated somehow. I hope we don't "go for something different" as we've seen the howler that is Aberdeen's away top, although to be fair that isn't as as bad as the JD Sports/Carbrini* numbers we wore a few years back. All in all, though, it's far from dreadful by any means, and if we hadn't had such good strips in recent years this new one would have been well up the list. * On the matter with Carbrini, is the top of our stadium painted with their logo still? Might want to tap up that fat annoying c*nt for some extra cash if so. Edited June 27, 2023 by Ric 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a feeling that'll be more his agent than actual bites. Not the say there won't be interest, but reading between the lines, and with the "mystery bidder" remaining anonymous, it sounds like we asked for an increased price, Bolton are humming and hawing over it, and this agent in an attempt to earn his percentage slyly puts it out that Bolton might not be his sole suitors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey ho - rumoured to be Ipswich in for Baccus. We were told that the delay was due to visa issues but it might well be the agent being a dick. Our brush with death has meant that we stick to what we can afford and if that ain't Baccus, so be it. An "agreed deal" with Wilson from Brizzle has also stalled. We move on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll not lie, I think that he should be going for more than was quoted, even though we know the figure quoted is probably not the case. I don't mind where he ends up, other than if they were our rivals in the Premiership. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuggie_Murray7 Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 It is a DISGRACE that the club have not issued a full press release on where Trevor Carson is and detailed to the exact penny how much the offer from Bolton for Baccus was. A DISGRACE. Or it could just be things that are totallty normal in football occurring within the club. Regardless, announce the 20 goal a season striker right now! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See this is where a pro-active social media team would recognise the supporters getting antsy with a lack of news then throws out some red meat for the twitter crowd. It could be something completely unrelated to strips or signings, but it would let steam off a little. Now, to be fair, it's not complete silence from them, but it's pretty much "by the numbers" stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, you don't want an account to go rogue, but equally there is something to be said for accounts that are agile enough to divert fan concerns (a "Kansas City Shuffle" as it were). Now, you could ask, do some of the manchild (manchildren?) online deserve such kid glove treatment? No, but it's a "stitch in time" situation, isn't it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think the Digby Brown logo looks better on the new shirt, as it breaks three vertical black stripes. The last shirt broke two, if anything, creating a big visual white ‘St George’s Cross’ effect in the middle if you look at it for any length of time. My comment would be that on last year’s shirt, the logo was higher up, just under the club crest. That looks better than how lower it is on the new one. Just my observation and personal opinion. Both shirts here look good Smurrrnn shirts. It’s a fitba’ tap’ though. So, aye, gie’s a signing etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
