Who knows, perhaps Wimmer gave them a few names before he left?

If you rush things you end up with the likes of Presley, Kettlewell, Naismith, Docherty etc, good to see we are taking our time as this appointment is massive. We need stability for a few season to allow whoever comes in to build a team. Another out of the blue appointment like Wimmer would be ideal, fresh outlook and ideas etc as opposed to the usual process of recycling failed managers we are used to.

If we get someone in post by the middle or end of next week that would fit in nicely with pre season starting the following week. We'll probably hear nothing until an appointment is made and thats how it should be. I would doubt if Tony Doc will be anywhere near a short list, if indeed there is one.

I'd have gone for your design. A nice compromise between detail and not being overly fussy.

It took 3 weeks to get wimmer in place. Not anywhere near the time to panic. I'd argue that there's more chance of getting a Tony Doc if we rush things.

We really need to get our ar5e in gear and get a manager in. I get the feeling, the longer we leave it the more likely we’ll get Tony Doc.

I don’t know why likes of Newcastle keep getting referenced as not changing their kit. the number of black stripes on home kit changed every year from 2020 as has the extra trim, inc colour variants. Celtic also have wild variety of bizarre takes on hoops in recent years. Whether we agree or not it’s the nature of commercial income these days. I just wish we’d keep the same manager for at least the length of time a kit is on sale

All I'd say is if we have the same template of a home strip every year, just with a mildly different trim or sponsor, then i'd certainly end up buying less of them. Anyone know when the away strip is out??

I don't normally laugh at your jokes but this made me chuckle 😆 😄 🤣

That's smart too.

Totally agree, I've never understood why we need to change the strip every season or two, its unecessary nonsense. Why can't we just find a design, in the club colours and keep it as do Celtic, Newcastle, etc who had had the same basic design forever. For me if I had a choice between the hoop or the stripes, I'd pick stripes as per the shirt we wore in the mid 1920's that was a cracker.

I'd say it was also too fussy. Doesn't need all those extra fine pinstripes. Designers these can't help themselves these days. Just because technology makes it easy and possible to keep adding things, doesn't mean you should.

Thats a far superior kit in every way 🧡❤️🧡

I wasn't far away

Agree completely and with MJC's comments above. It's far too fussy and busy and a horizontal band and verical pinstripe just don't work, even before we get on to The Shorts Question. Our "Theo Bair" year jersey was fine imo and should be our basic template. If the likes of Newcastle United can keep their stripes for a century without needless experiment why not us? We can do that with the other two strips each year. The hoop is such a distinctive feature it's a pity the club don't seem to value it as a "brand". It was used for sixty years until about 1968 and we won the league, cup and league cup wearing it. Oh, well, maybe next year, if I'm still around.

Kettlewells a big enough comedian. Killie fans will see that when his team plays.

I wouldn't worry, you want to hear the language she uses at me 🤣🤣🤣

Was chatting about this strip with my brother and he said it looks like the 2019/20 kit with the stripes reversed.

I literally just shat my breeks there. Went on the BBC sport Scotland web page and right next to the 'Pressley is new Dundee manager', there was a headline saying 'McGhee joins Motherwell'. Took me a minute and a fair bit of colon tightening until I remembered.........

Another team to loathe re Killie. Hope he takes some of our journeymen. Make it at Mirren mark 3. Now we got 2 well reserve teams.

Ok , I promise I won't use foul language in front of Mrs Grizzlyg then.

Plain and mostly Amber. No pinstripes.

What’s the back of the shirt look like

I don’t and never have agreed with this idea that we need to “mix it up” when it comes to our home kit. I’m not expecting or demanding a claret hoop every season but our home kit, in my opinion, should consist of a predominantly Amber jersey with the Claret worked into it in some form. I know the shorts colour splits opinion as many prefer white but for me it should always be mostly Claret shorts. That keeps it simple and true to our classic home colours. Why stray from that? Someone said the other week that we have two home colours so that’s why we don’t stick with tradition like other clubs do, but the same could be said for Newcastle with their Black and White….do they ever release home kits that are miles out from their tradition just so they can be a “bit different”? No chance. We’ve done well with this new one. Band/hoop or not and that is largely how a Motherwell FC home kit should look as it properly embraces our colours.

Agree with the first comment. Saying that I like the new strip.... except for the sledgehammer of a sponsor across the front of course. Regarding your second point, personally I like the fact we've mixed it up a bit recently, switching between something traditional and something different every other season... keeps things interesting if nothing else. Looking forward to the away kit. Would love to see claret with amber band. Not done that since early 00s if im not mistaken? 🤔
