When he managed Kilmarnock he didn't have the budget, so the tactic changed to kicking seven shades out of Hammell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said this before but there are too many people, not just in our support, who's hatred and obsession with Rangers overrides their passion and love for the club they support and it's pathetic. The irony is that it's usually these types of people who shout longest and loudest about how much they dislike Rangers and want their club to be nothing like them, free of any connection with them, yet at the same time they can't help themselves but bring Rangers info the equation no matter what. Some of the responses on here and on social media to the away kit reveal are the prime example of that. We release a kit which is claret with an amber diagonal band, not a sash, and you get some wahoos bubbling about how it somehow makes us have a connection to the OO/Rangers. That's one of if not the first things they think of when seeing a new Motherwell kit for the first time. As I said, absolutely pathetic. You'd think we'd brought out a black kit with two diagonal orange bands that meet in the middle complete with white gloves and a bowler hat. I don’t really visit this forum very often anymore and only been back on in recent weeks. I must say, you do come across as rather over opinionated and my visualisation is of an angry wee man with a big red face. Take a chill pill pal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadgey Posted July 15, 2023 Report Share Posted July 15, 2023 As it goes, I am not a fan of the new away shirt. The home one is lovely but the sublimated Amber and white sash/diagonal band and claret collar on this one just feels a bit cheap like a Turkish holiday knock off cheap.

numpty Posted July 15, 2023 Report Share Posted July 15, 2023 I have no problem with the design of the shirt. It just annoys me that nothing on the top lines up with anything on the shorts, so it all looks a bit mix'n'match. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOU are ‘associating’ it with an orange order sash with that nonsensical attitude and outlook. You dont like a Motherwell kit without a claret band. So I think Im allowed to object to one with an amber sash if I feel like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely agree that we should wear what we wish. My objection to this kit has nothing to day with Rangers or Celtic. My objection is based on its association with an organisation that discirminates against a large section of our society. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really not though. It is you and a few others that have made that association, not Motherwell F.C. nor Macron. That's just how your mind works when you see a design like that unfortunately. I see a great many other things - none of which are associated with a Motherwell kit - like Peru and Cardiacs for two examples but what you have suggested never crossed my mind. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to suggest that said amber sash somehow associates the top or us with the orange order is absolute unadulterated fucking nonsense. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least this is a debate I can engage with. Your probably right. It seems Im in the minority on here and thats fair enough, but its what I felt when I saw the strip. Being brought up in the West of Scotland certainly influences the way you think about certain things and undoubtedly makes you more sensitive to things that other people wouldnt give 2 seconds thought to. Suffice to say, I wont be buying this particular shirt. We move on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yosemite sam Posted July 18, 2023 Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 That's what I call an away strip, not the horrible one we have. We have certainly left ourselves open to the bigots in our west of Scotland society. Imagine going to Ceptic and wearing our away strip. The Green brigade will have a field day. Right up their street to peddle their intolerance and hatred. A sad day indeed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time they found us tolerable was after the play-off, and that lasted for 2 minutes. My first Motherwell strip had a 'sash', so it doesn't bother me, though, as a rule, I much prefer an all white strip - which disnae make me an Imperial Wizard. Wonder what Shuggie Sproat makes of it.

We just open a can of worms by naively choosing that strip and giving these idiots something to moan about. I agree its only a football strip to us, but not to them, going by some of the comments I've seen on social media. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
