Pettywulliegrew-2 Posted May 9, 2023 Report Share Posted May 9, 2023 From UBH on Twitter   I would also support a Summer Cup shirt revival at some point. In 2024-25 it will be 60 years since we won it. It also evokes memories of a young Faddy who wore a Summer Cup inspired design in season 2002-03. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pettywulliegrew-2 Posted May 9, 2023 Report Share Posted May 9, 2023 More from UBH During Motherwell’s 1920’s touring heyday we wore claret and amber stripes. Who’s up for an anniversary shirt revival of this era for one Season ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claret, Amber or white?  Let the battle begin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to the Man Utd kit of the 80s which I never fancied much. Probably not gonna happen this season given the departure from the hoop/band this year.

Older fans will remember we had a pinstripe nod to the original striped jersey (which predated the hoop) in the mid-90s: http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Scottish_Football_League/Motherwell/Motherwell-change.htm Since we're talking of UBH, I think he compiled most of the information used in the above HFK page. Hope he is well. "Haste ye back!" indeed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm long past buying replica kit but the best looking kit on that historical list is the 1920 - 24 one, the claret and Amber stripes, that's the one we should have.

And they would be cheap, because we can just buy up some Bradford City overstock and swap the badge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StirlingDosser Posted May 11, 2023 Report Share Posted May 11, 2023 I'm in the white shorts club, they make it look a bit more classy. One thing I insist on (and I wouldn't buy the shirt otherwise) that it has our club crest and NOT the MFC lettering from yesteryear that was "reinvented". We stopped using it for a reason...

The ‘mfc’ lettering just looks cheap and brings the whole jersey down a tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewarkfanclub Posted May 12, 2023 Report Share Posted May 12, 2023 The club crest didnt exist until the 80s so its hardly traditional. I do like the crest, particularly as it retains the connection to the steel industry, but like the hoop/band, Im not wedded to it as other incarnations existed before it. For example, I think the MFC script worked very well on the last blue kit.... Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
