New kit for 2023/24

[joewarkfanclub]

I dont think the shirt in itself is that bad, although hardly traditional. But together with the claret shorts it looks a bit of a hotch potch.

I think with amber shorts it would have looked not too bad. Cleaner lines so to speak.....

[robsterwood]

Yes take away the white bands and have amber shorts and it's fine

The 13/14 away kit we had when Craig Reid scored the last minute winner at Pittodrie wasn’t a million miles away from this tbh.

Looking at the squad, prayer might not be a bad idea...

Obviously it's claret and amber. I mean that white trims clash with claret and amber. Looks disjointed like 2 different strips and white vicar collar out of place too. I just bought the last one so won't bother this year.

So your problem is with the white trim? White isn't even a colour.

If it's not a colour on a football strip, what is it?

White is technically a shade as is black. 

St Mirren have team shades, not colours?

Seems like it. Oddly enough. I'm the only person in my family who isn't colour blind. 

Claret and amber shades true.

Ha! My wee brother was playing a football game on his PlayStation a long time ago when we both still lived at home and he had chosen Motherwell as his team and asked me to check if he had got the colours spot on - and he was actually very close to be fair. 

It does get quite interesting at times - I moved house 4 years ago and I left the kitchen the way it was and my mum was like - your kitchen is a lovely shade of pink (it's grey) 🤣

I spend a lot of my life telling my mum what colour of jumper or jacket she's got on 

Most of the men in my wife's family are colour blind. A couple of them are really talented artists - they tend to stick to black and white.

You might want to look into the effectiveness of prayer.

Exactly, which is why I took 'robsterwood' using his dislike of our new kit to mock the colourblind to be in very poor taste.

The Provan sports tie in has been going on for a long time I think, at least 15 years - it would be good to know the details of it, believe they also have a deal with Dundee. 

Others old enough to remember may indeed have better recall than me but if I recall correctly, Provan Sports took on the Well Shop when first built as part of the Cooper Stand project (1995?) and have been there since.

They had secured the contract off the back of how their relationship with St Mirren. For a long time they ran both club shops. No clue whether they have the St Mirren contract nowadays.

Has anyone seen the new home kit in the flesh yet? I’m struggling to decide whether it’s a belter or a minger.

You sound like an odious boring cretin that just likes to criticise other fans or put down Thier opinion without having one of your own.

Belter or minger that usually depends on how many beers you've had and what time of night it is. 🙂

I've had 10 beers tonight. Still looking like an ugly mismatch. Sorry if you like it. Beer dint make it any better.

It's not an unreasonable point and one I'd be on board with. What if, however, the Well Society tells you that changing the design every year generates enough income to pay the salary of one player that season? Would it still be worth it?

 

if it pays the salary then aye that’s fine but I’d still much rather have something a bit more traditional even if it’s every season I’m paying for a small tweak. I spend a small fortune personally on motherwell (comparatively within my wage), as I’m sure a lot of us do. I usually buy the home and away kits every year and most likely will buy this one to put some money into the club coffers. But it’s not and probably never will be a kit I’m gonna love. Unless we win the cup in it.

I understand that we do not receive any funds from merchandise sold at the club unless it reaches a certain threshold, which has not been met in several years.

If true, this arrangement is utterly absurd.

I think the last time the Club got any cash from strip sales was the blue kit from the COVID seasons.

That seems crazy.

I realise that there are costs associated with running the club shop. But surely there would be a significant profit in it, to run it ourselves?

Just dont see how the Pravan Sports deal is beneficial to us, other than taking the hassle out of it for the club.

Agree. We could make our own strip too. Get it done in China.

We would probably fuk that up as well. Couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery comes to mind.

[twistandshout1983]

I think the new kit looks very decent and one I will buy

Even though I prefer the classic style Well tops like the one we played in yesterday I do not mind if we do things slightly different now and again as long as we maintain the claret and amber

Most clubs get very little from merch - apparently Arsenal get 4.80 from an 80 quid shirt. 

Adidas also pay Arsenal 70 million per year for wearing it. That's where the bigger clubs earn kit revenue.
