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? 🤔

🤣🤣🤣, right any more and I am going to contact Derek McGregor of The Sun for an exclusive interview 🤪🤪🤪

Hope to feck we never paid a fee for that transfer.

You beat me to it, but I agree 100%.

Given that I'm about 40 years older than their target demographic for shirt sales, my thoughts are irrelevant. If it was a nod to 100 years ago, however, I would have kept it stripes only.

I would have liked that actual design better, with claret shorts, obviously.....

In fact that one was smarter.....

Not for me. Too fussy. Band or pinstripes. Not both. Just looks a bit of a rehash of the one from a few seasons back. And G4 Claims is just a shit sponsor

He may well be a motherwell fan but he will need to toe the bbc old firm line , the same as Gordon Duncan on snide.

Nick McPheat is a Well fan. I don’t think he is purposefully promoting home grown / old boys. Rather, he suggests, and I agree, that of those candidates, Robbie Neilson is the only realistic standout option. He’s also avoided speculation along the lines of the bookies odds. On pre-season, the Club announced: Our first-team will return to Fir Park for pre-season on Wednesday 18 June, before setting off for Delden, Netherlands, on Wednesday 25 June. I think we’ll either see Robbie Neilson or David Healy, or another complete data-driven random, get the gig this week or next.

You'll soon change your mind when we start giving you dogs abuse.

An article from the BBC. A bit patronising if you ask me. Would they be promoting home grown/old boys club managers if it was Celtic and Sevco that were involved? I also hope our players turn up for pre season somewhat earlier than the month they quote. "This time last year Motherwell's board, fan ownership group and support were braced for a toxic summer amid a potential takeover from a former Netflix vice-president. That attempted bid collapsed spectacularly when proposed American buyer Erik Barmack withdrew his offer because he felt there were "significant divisions within the fanbase". In the 12 months since, the club hierarchy has been ripped up and refreshed, one manager has departed after citing fan abuse, and another has left for family reasons. Three summers ago, Graham Alexander was sacked on the eve of the 2022-23 Scottish Premiership season after his team were chased out of Conference League qualifying by Sligo Rovers. Club legend Steven Hammell picked up the pieces, but he was gone by the following February after a humiliating Scottish Cup defeat at second-tier Raith Rovers. With the search for a fourth manager in three years under way, supporters of the Fir Park side will have to wait a little longer for the extended period of normality they crave. Until last week, fans were optimistic about the summer. There were signs manager Michael Wimmer was starting to flex his coaching pedigree. Three wins from five post-split games contributed to an overall record of five victories, three draws and four defeats across 12 matches under the former Austria Vienna boss. Off the pitch, Wimmer spoke of immersing himself in the local culture. A picture of him celebrating in a Lanarkshire pub circulated after an excellent result and performance in a 2-1 win at Rangers in March. All was looking well. Then, last Friday, news emerged the German had returned home and was not coming back. "This decision was an extremely hard one," he said. Some fans joked the 44-year-old's frequent LinkedIn activity, and the regular self-promotion of his profile, suggested he was looking for a way out. But this was real. An "urgent" family matter meant Wimmer wanted to be closer to home, joining third-tier German club Jahn Regensburg. A "shock to everybody" was how chairman Kyrk Macmillan described it, but the club will now need to move on quickly. However, with the players not due arrive back for pre-season for another month, Motherwell will not rush or panic in their hunt to find Wimmer's successor. The board will follow the same process that led them to the German, using data and metrics to judge how candidates align with the club's values, such as youth development. If Motherwell land on a manager with a similar CV, they will be doing well. But it is worth remembering there are coaches closer to home now available. Tony Docherty is without a club after being sacked by Dundee, plus Shaun Maloney is also unattached following his Wigan exit. But Robbie Neilson's record at both Hearts and Dundee United surely makes him the standout among the realistic Scottish options. The 44-year-old, who left Tampa Bay Rowdies earlier this year, has said the vacant jobs at Motherwell and Dundee would interest him. Neilson got Hearts promoted twice and led them to two third-placed top-flight finishes across two spells, as well as making two Scottish Cup finals. He also guided United to promotion in 2020. Motherwell assistant Ahmet Koc, who joined with Wimmer, will continue his role at Fir Park after talks with Regensburg. It is unknown whether or not he will put himself forward for the managerial role. But it feels like the smart money is on another left-field move. No media outlet had any wind of Wimmer's arrival until just minutes before he was announced, and it will be no surprise if something similar is repeated."

Every Dundee fan I've spoken to in person or online have said they're gutted to lose him and he's consistently been one of their best players every season.

Will reserve judgement until I see how he does. Caveat: He’s spent the majority of his career in the Championship.

There fans are raging at that.pressley back in the game and kettlewell to Killie,it really does show zero imagination in they appointments.if we can get semi competent manager in then we are a step ahead of those two clubs before a ball is kicked.

I shouldn't be agreeing but that would be true 🤣🤣

Not a chance 🤣🤣

Ditto.
