underboyleheating Posted December 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 I really don't get the fascination with dressing like old men. I'm all for a nod to history, but if we don't embrace the now then future kit designers won't have any history to nod at. I agree Al, I’m not suggesting we go back to the past, I just thought it was maybe a missed opportunity at the time (late 70s early 80s). As a designer, I fully embrace new designs and ideas, as without them nothing would change. The adidas top was based on an old design available to buy from retroshirthaven.com 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underboyleheating Posted December 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 I have been looking at a some recent Macron templates and this Bologna away shirt has the potential to make a nice away top. The polo shirt look is not for everyone, however, I have always loved this style of collar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underboyleheating Posted December 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Nice apart from that snidey sponsor. Why you all Bovril daft this weather? They share the same formation year as Motherwell (1886), due to their links with football it’s was more of a fun idea rather than a serious sponsor. Ideally you would want a more sympathetic logo design, however, in football shirt sponsorship that is not always possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The African Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 How would that look with the claret above the amber in the band? The collar looks okay, though maybe a little fancy for my tastes, but otherwise that is excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underboyleheating Posted March 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 This was done about a year ago and was inspired by last seasons Macron, Lazio Eagle top. It was a quick test to see how it would look in C&A (without the eagle). However, in my opinion it doesn’t really work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hovis were founded in 1886 too and their logo colours could be made to blend into a claret band quite well I reckon.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I noticed that. The most well known brand founded in 1886 is Coca-Cola, however, we have zero chance of being sponsored by them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goggles & Flippers Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 So just to clarify ...... Coke Zero ..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yabba's Turd Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Coke did sponsor Brazilian teams back in the day, I had a Cruziero shirt with the Coca Cola script and dynamic ribbon device on it, reckon our hoop would look good as the drd.

something else Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 I have been looking at a some recent Macron templates and this Bologna away shirt has the potential to make a nice away top. The polo shirt look is not for everyone, however, I have always loved this style of collar. Just do away with the hoop/band and have it plain white apart from the collar and cuff trimmings and that would be smart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underboyleheating Posted March 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 If I had to choose a recent Macron template for our 130th Anniversary shirt this simple template works best for me. No disrespect to Cash Convertors, however, a decent sponsors logo will make or break a shirt. As I said before there is no chance that Coca Cola would even think about sponsoring us, however, their logo is a thing of beauty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goggles & Flippers Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 The one thing that has stopped me buying any of the current strips are the badges. On the training gear they're printed (poorly and out of proportion) and stitched on. On the away strip (which I have always loved since Pony made it) the issue is scroll round the badge, which again looks awful. I really hope someone from Provan reviews these boards and is a tad more stringent when the proofs are sent through. Along with the text being the wrong way round on the 125th year strip it's a host of errors. Just can't see there being any issues with any other teams badge like how ours is continually messed up. We standardised the colours a few years back, lets do it with the badge. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 The Coca-Cola logo is certainly iconic, but I don't like it on our claret hoop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Dosser Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 "The Coca-Cola logo is certainly iconic, but I don't like it on our claret hoop." If only we had a proper hoop, weeyin (sighs wistfully). When I become dictator of the Scottish Republic, MFC will play in The Hoop for eternity, so there...... And circular badges are naff, in my opinion, but it's probably too late to remodel it. I say, let ubh get on with things, in good hands there.
