Yellow & Redneck Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Does anybody know if we will be getting a new Home and/or Away shirt for next season. I'm aware that we are still being sponsored by Joma for another few years (sigh...). Personally I'd like to see a return to the hooped shirts that Puma made in their first few seasons, just for a bit of a change. And a return to the old red and yellow hooped socks.

Sinistar Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 This years kits have been reduced in price online for some time now (£25) so I reckon we're getting a new one. Last 2 Joma efforts have been horrific, maybe they'll do something good this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerrybritton9 Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 I think that they are probably already made by now. Retro kits are really in just now. did you see the West Brom Jeff Astle Tribute? http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2015/03/26/10/2701447B00000578-3012661-image-a-6_1427366642894.jpg How about a version of this one. http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/1/1vR2chH2JiAAwKBYb071og709544/GW958H622 simple, classic and different to what we've seen recently 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Nixon Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 The stripes have been getting progressively thinner on these cruddy Joma shirts ... maybe next year we'll be similar to the nightmarish design St Mirren have had this year ... Maybe the away shirt could be in the style of that old 70's number - white with red/black hoop round the centre. Still, what we need is to dump Joma and get a manufacturer who isn't rubbish.

thebiglemon Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 How chubby does Harry Hood look in that picture? No wonder we pumped them- my 3rd game as a Jags fan, no wonder I got hooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChewinGumMacaroonBaaaz Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) I think the important style issue on reviewing the team of '71 is that bushy sideburns are essential for all playing staff. And the captain's armband should be replaced with a quality 'tache. Edited April 26, 2015 by ChewinGumMacaroonBaaaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briogadh Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Don't get me started on the badge! When if first replaced the classy modern design I described it as having been produced by the infant department in a primary school. Sadly it looks like we're stuck with it for the foreseeable future . It displays a total lack of imagination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this seasons away shirt (not sure about the white shorts with it) but I'd say the shirt was a belter.

JeanieD Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 As far a stripes v hoops is concerned I suppose it depends on the era you first started supporting the club - hoops for me personally - but in the proper tones as per late 60s please but I have no problem with stripes (no club holds a copyright on direction of colours) - although thick ones would be preferable - 1975/76 style - and again in the proper tones none of this fluorescent yellow and scarlet nonsense! Shorts to be black or white. Problem with hoops and stripes is that advert panels tend to ruin the effect so perhaps an all yellow (1971) style top could be considered. No doubt it will emerge on the Friday before the start of next season and we will be delighted or dismayed in equal number. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Nixon Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 If we're going to have one colour why not red instead of yellow? Like the away shirts of the 70's ... but for the home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 I can't get this fascination with the horrendous yellow top,makes us look like Albion Rovers.We had success with it in 71 and all of a sudden it's the retro strip to have.If you look at our history we have mostly worn stripes or hoops and I hope we stick with that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 If we're going to have one colour why not red instead of yellow? Like the away shirts of the 70's ... but for the home. Or black? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Nixon Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Or black? Because our colours are red & yellow, not red, yellow & black? Black isn't even our normal tertiary colour. Sure we've had white shorts more than black in our history. We've had white away shirts, sky blue away shirts, we played in navy blue for a long time. Black away shirts I don't think are that common - no more than purple or pink. Anyway, we're red AND yellow, not wont nother. I agree with macca that just because we won a cup in a yellow shirt a squillion years ago (the seventies, that great decade of fashion, natch), doesn't mean we should keep returning to it. Unbroken hoops or stripes, please and a collar that's actually a collar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanieD Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 For those of us who were there to see them win the final I suspect yellow with red shorts will always stir up great memories. For those too young then perhaps it doesnt have such appeal. Each to their own, although I suggest that those who decry the strip and the manner of the victory as being long ago betray a certain jealousy which, if they are not careful, expresses itself as self righteous and ignorant.

Richard Nixon Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 those who decry the strip and the manner of the victory as being long ago Don't understand that, sorry. Pointing out a fact is self-righteous and ignorant? You'll have to explain that to me. I don't understand what you're saying at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinistar Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) I'd love a retro top, it would keep the dads as well as the weans happy and the club would sell lots more strips. How about this though for something a bit more adventurous and modern? Edited April 27, 2015 by Sinistar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jags on tour Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 that would look even better if the shoulders were black. I think there has been to much yellow in our last 2 strips, get back to red yellow n black. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
