pretzel Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 I remember reading an article from a designer at the start of the season and they ranked this seasons kits and they had Motherwell in 11th and Hibernian at 12th. I appreciate everyone has there own tastes and that but I thought those two kits were great in a traditional sense (minus the Hibees sponsor of course), especially when you look at some of the hideous efforts on show such as Celtic's. Adidas designs have been mental this season, they slapped a mad design on Aberdeen's away kit and just marketed it as a 'Northern Lights' kit and the fans were all over it and they did similar with other teams. It's going to be interesting to see how our fan design will turn out and I wonder if St Johnstone will show up with it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Dosser Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 Yes, I liked this season's traditional strip and fear a crazy design for 2024-5 "just be different", perhaps even worse than the Jester's Outfit. I would always keep the "home" strip pretty traditional. The designers can have the other two strips to mess about with (and I agree that Celtic's change strips have generally been absolutely honking). Then we can concentrate on The White Shorts contoversy 🤣. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always preferred the claret shorts cos those were generally what we wore for years after I started going, but I quite fancy a wee return to the white ones next season. I'd go with a single band/hoop, the top on here's a bit busy for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Dosser Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 I think my opinion is quite unpopular but I feel white shorts contrast really well with a trad. strip in our bootiful colours. Ultimately, I think most supporters have a hankering for the jersey the team were wearing when they started attending FP, and I can understand that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 White shorts have certainly been by far the most common colour from the 1890's until the 1960's with the only other colour occasionally used being black. Amber shorts didn't make an appearance until 1968 and claret 1973, so very much the newcomer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the last time the fans chose the strip they came up with an amber shirt with two offset claret stripes for the 78-9 season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t we wear claret shorts when we won the summer cup at Tanadice or was it just the jersey that was reversed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 Noticed the West Indies were wearing a claret and amber Macron kit in their game today. Maybe we could ditch the hoop and go with this: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted May 29 Report Share Posted May 29 I wonder if this will be another year where we don't release our new strip until the last kick? And lose out on potential sales that could be made during the Scottish summer, school holidays and so on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring out an away kit at the beginning of the summer. Wear it on the first league match of the season. Then immediately bin it and bring out another away kit until Christmas when that kit gets binned and another kit comes out. Only thing is we won't also be able to release a 'Euro' kit as well.
