Yeah I think I’ll stick to wearing last seasons home kit for games next season. That was a smart and classical Motherwell FC home top. It seems like we’re alternating between a traditional kit one season then a different/awful one the next.

I shall do the next time I'm down that way. As I said to me that looks like a Dundee Utd kit but if you're telling me it's nothing of the sort when you see it in the flesh then I'll certainly take a closer look.

I think officially it’s ‘coral’ but it’s basically a Dundee Utd kit with a Motherwell badge. I’m not overly fussed with the training gear tbh but the home kit is something that is important to us as a club. It’s our identity and we have a set of colours which are instantly associated with Motherwell FC in Scottish Football. Why then we keep trying to “do something different” or recreate strips from over 40 years or so ago is beyond me. And yes, I get the kit makers and the club trying to make money argument to a point, but as I’ve always said the fans who are going to buy the strips will generally buy the strips regardless of what they look like and the ones who aren’t won’t buy it. You don’t see Celtic or Newcastle or Leeds Utd or Aberdeen or Hearts constantly trying to “do something a bit different” and buggering about with their traditional home kits, I just wish we could take a leaf out of their books.

Are the fans ever properly consulted with kits nowadays? With the ‘Dundee United’ training kit and now this shanner you really do wonder?

I thought nothing could be worse than the mid 90s jester kit or the 22/23 abomination but that tops it. Absolutely utterly howling and yet again we p1ss about with our vintage and classical home colours. And before anyone says “who cares what we play in” I care! I want to see my club playing in its traditional home kit. Absolutely awful.

Really pleased we have managed to secure Liam Gordon, a very good CB in our league. I would be handing him the captains armband as well.

Don’t know what height and weight he is.

Big Hearts fan is Callachan.

Zach Robinson signs. A forward who scored 3 goals in 21 appearances for Dundee last season.

That's undoubtedly true and a huge irritant for me, that for a club that never stops bleating about being cash strapped and rattling the begging bowls we don't half sign some amount of dross, some of which we know from the outset are perma-crocked. When you think of the money we've spunked down the pan in the last year alone on the likes of Obika, Halliday, Souare, Shaw and giving SO'D an extension then it's frightening and infuriating. But hey "c'mon Taylor Swift gees some money"

Kettlewell’s management and recruitment actually mirrors the club itself. Cheap, unimaginable, tinpot, receding by the year and on a one way street to the lower leagues and part time football. It really is a matter of when and not if both of those scenarios happen.

Yeah I’m all for giving every new signing the benefit of the doubt and indeed I will give Ross Callachan the same but his injury record is concerning.

I’m sure Bain is under contract at Celtic so unless it was a loan deal then that won’t happen. I certainly wouldn’t complain if we were able to get him though, he’s a good solid goalkeeper at this level.

Stephen Hughes was excellent for us in his first stint in 07/08 under McGhee. Bob Malcolm was a limited player but could hit a free kick.

The club have confirmed that Fire Suppression Scotland will be our new back of shirt sponsor along with a picture of the words on the back of a kit, don’t know if it’s just last seasons kit or the new one but if it is then it’s promisingly Amber.

I’m sure it was around the end of June last year that our new home kit was revealed so will probably be the same this year or thereabouts. Nothing would surprise me. We just seem obsessed with “doing something different” so who knows what we’ll get. I know some argue that it doesn’t matter what strip we play in but it does to me. I want to see us make the most of our own fairly unique colours. We should embrace them and the identity that they give us but instead we keep messing about with them all too often.

That would almost be worth it just to see the meltdown it would cause from some on here. But yes on a serious note just why would anyone at the club sign off on this? Or is this our latest ploy to show how “skint” we are that we had to acquire a batch of 22/23 Dundee Utd macron training kits and stick our badge on them?

Did Macron honestly just use Dundee Utd’s training tops from two years ago and replace their badge with ours? Even the luminous black and Green thing we’ve seen pictured already is similar to the last training wear macron made for Utd. God knows what monstrosity they’re going to come up with for a first team strip this year. After a proper Motherwell kit last season we must be due for something nonsensical again.

Not the new kit but for some reason us and Macron have produced training wear which can only be described as ‘Dundee United’ for the season ahead. I know we like to be ‘out of the box’ but these are out of the fucking warehouse. https://motherwelldirect.co.uk/products/24-25-matchday-1-4-zip-coral-anthracite

Welcome to Fir Park Kofi Balmer.

Correct decision and best for all concerned that Bevis moves on. Best of luck to him for the future.

Disgusted about that. As well as being clearly past his best and slower than a week in jail he has been nothing but an imposter in our jersey for the last three years.

Steelboy gets a raw deal on here imo, he calls it as he sees it and actually talks a lot of sense. Outwith my own his posts are the ones I enjoy reading the most.

I’ve not seen that too before so looks like it’s a new one. Hopefully just a training top though.

Obika has retired and joins the coaching staff for the new season.
