Our home tops have been dire for a while, regardless of who makes them. Suggests it's an issue at the clubs end more than anything tbh. St. Johnstone have a habit of making a plain blue shirt and white shorts somehow look rubbish and half arsed. It's uncanny actually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pinstripe one from about 97 or 98 was a very good effort. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a fan vote, then I fear the outcome. I wouldn't say that at all. The widely accepted best strips we've had in last 30 years were both fan designed and had almost unanimous backing. The popular opinion that I remember was that one of the home choices was the most popular by a mile and it was neck and neck between the best 2 of the 4 away choices that had quite minor differences (the colour of the diagonal stripe being the only major difference) Edited May 27, 2021 by djchapsticks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Not seen ours, but given Fat Tony's involvement, I'd imagine it will only be available in XXXXL 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that fan designed strips are bad, we've seen "official" strips like the JD Sports being an absolute aberration to style, but of the designs put forward I wasn't really sold on any and the public opinion (at least on this site) seemed to favour the designs I disliked most. It's all personal taste of course. The other element was that this season's strips (imo) are some of the nicest we've had for a while (both home and away) and I doubt we'll put two crackers out of the bag in succession.

Football players wear football strips. They wear football kits if you're from fucking Essex or somewhere like that. We'll be discussing "uniforms" before you know it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dezz Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 We’ve had a cracking run of strips with Macron the last few years. Very biased but definitely among the best in the league. Some of our away strips in particular have been sexy as f**k - this seasons blue effort and last seasons white one with the c&a band. Expect we’ll return to a mainly claret away kit this year though. Looking forward to seeing the designs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motherwell's tops have been pretty consistently good or excellent for a long time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Aldo Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Pretty much all our Macron kits have been very decent. I'm hoping we stick with them as they seem to put a bit of effort in regardless of the club.If we end up with the likes of Joma I might cry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A gold trim on the shirt to commemorate the achievement of a cup double would be brilliant but the new shirt got signed off a number of weeks ago so would probably be too late now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As OTIG says, if you wash the yellow off that horror show of an away top, there's a pretty smart home top lurking under there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
