A wee skinny racing snake won't do it justice. A man of my stature will look exactly like the night sky from certain angles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 From our thread, posted by Div who in turn got it from someone else, but apparently the image is taken in the shop so if it's a photoshop fake, it's an elaborate one. I'll summarise what I said in the St Mirren thread. Not overly keen on the cheques but they aren't in your face, it's pretty safe no JD Sports monstrosity, there are stripes visible on the back but will there be a "back plate" for the numbers? All in all, a bullet dodged. Away top next, presumably red, with cheques. Fingers crossed it's not a nightmare like the Aberdeen away top. Of the other recent strip launches, Motherwell is totally marmite for me, it's either retro and classic, or it looks a mess. Strangely enough they seemed to have gone half way house but the logo is rank rotten. Might grow on me but if it was a simple yes or no, then it's a no from me, but only just. Fair play to Hearts, the colours may be boke inducing, but big licks for the charity sponsor. I doubt they are giving it away for free, but it's still a kick in the arse better than some dodgy booze company like their city rivals. On final note, I am totally of the opinion that if you are an adult, and you are not involved in some sporting activity, then you look an absolute balloon in a football top. However, that pales, utterly pales, into comparison with the complete zoomers I see around Govan. The classic rotund sunburnt Rangers fan, in his 50s, wearing a full kit including shorts and socks, to meander around Asda on a Sunday afternoon. That should be summary execution on the spot, imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As some way of apology for my faux pas (soon to be corrected to 'fox pass' by some wag, no doubt), I will leave you with a Philomena Cunk quote: “School in Shakespeare’s day and age was vastly different to our own.
