I can confirm that the mascot is indeed wearing a "knock - off" version of the two stripe strip - the mascot is me! At the time it was the norm for the replica strips not to be made by the same manufacturer as the original.
At the time I wasn't a regular at games and I remember turning up feeling proud at being kitted out in the latest strip - and being a bit disappointed that the team wasn't wearing it any more.
I certainly wasn't expecting to see the picture appearing on a Motherwell message board after all this time.
