Yellow & Redneck Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 If it was up to me, I say let Joma have a basic red and yellow home kit, and then give David Shrigley free reign to do whatever the hell her likes with the away kit.

Third Lanark Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 When can I get a Kingsley tee shirt !!!! In all seriousness giving the publicity we are fast receiving from it would be a good idea would sell very quickly and raise a bit of cash. Wouldn't just be jags fans either looking at reactions from other teams fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could replace the hairy testicle with Kingsley as far as I'm concerned and colour each top by hand with a big marker - love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggernaut Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Great publicity for the club, similar to that generated by the pink away strip a few years back. Gaun yersel' Kingsley! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Nixon Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 There's no such thing as bad publicity. Oh wait there is. Still, we had fifteen minutes of fame on twitter yesterday, and everyone had a good laugh when the mascot was on the news last night. It's a shame we only get attention for pulling idiotic stunts like this. But easily pleased Thistle fans are over the moon someone's paying attention to us for any reason I guess. They're not laughing with us - it's at us. For the next two years we're sporting something that to call amateurish, is to insult amateurs. That's a whole lot of away fans having a right good laugh at us. That's a whole lot of defeats where we also get to look like f@nnies throughout. The amount of Grape-Aid being drunk around here is unbelievable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of Grape-Aid being drunk around here is unbelievable. Miserably wrong on absolutely every point. Go to Pie and Bovril and fans of other clubs are expressing admiration and even jealousy. It's universally acknowledged as a mad, out-of-nowhere mascot/logo but iots of people like it and see it as bold, amusing and interesting (lots of thing which Scottish football usually isn't). Just because you can't get your head around it doesn't mean that it's not a positive, fun, original thing which has raised the profile of our club and which many people like. If you'd rather have an online betting company, a booze company or a pawnbroker's on our shirts like most other 'small' clubs than a striking, utterly original logo from a company who has given us a huge wadge of cash and designed by a famous fan of the club, then that's quite puzzling really.

When literally everyone else disagrees with you (across the world, it would seem) and thinks you're talking pish, the chances you are are either a visionary or a sour-pussed killjoy.

JuanJag Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 It's only a mascot Richard, calm down. Never seen such a grim overreaction to something so trivial. Great publicity for the club which could potentially open up future revenue streams. Win-win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are loads of people who didn't have an idea who or what we are, who certainly know now. How on earth can that be bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jag Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 That's excellent. Hope there's no blue sky and white clouds surrounding it. I agree. If they keep it to that it will be fine. If they use the clouds and text I think it will look pretty guff. They don't need to put anything else on it apart from that anyway, everyone knows who Kingsley is now.

yoda-jag Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) This would look good. And the back image removed because this forum doesn't let me post more than one image in a post!!! how daft a restriction is that?? ^^^^^ we have a winner. that would be ideal front and back (with the number in the sun on back). That's excellent. Hope there's no blue sky and white clouds surrounding it. I agree. If they keep it to that it will be fine. If they use the clouds and text I think it will look pretty guff. They don't need to put anything else on it apart from that anyway, everyone knows who Kingsley is now. jagger and jag spot on ..... the blue sky thinking has been done, no need for blue sky or clouds or text on strips. now we await for the real thing ..... please. please. don't fu(k it up jags. give us the best thistle strip ever. and a bat shit mental launch so we can melt the internet all over again. eta: as for the haters (singular) on this thread ..... the laughs on them.

billy bookcase Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 I hope the club is all over the Kingsley phenomenon and will launch the new kit, and hopefully some other Kingsley/Thistle bits and pieces, quickly before the interest disappears.

The amount of Grape-Aid being drunk around here is unbelievable. My girlfriend who hates football has already asked me to get her some Kingsley merchandise, to be fair she goes out with me(possibly because I look a bit like a David Shrigley drawing) so her taste is questionable, however David Shrigley is known worldwide and his stuff is very collectible. Whether you're a fan or not Modern Art is a multi-million pound industry and if we want to get more people interested in Partick Thistle outside of the usual mob of old duffers like us that would come along anyway then I reckon this is a good move.

BowenBoys Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 I imagine that it's far to late to change the strip from the design agreed before Kingsley was born and I don't think it will look as we hope. Might be wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stillresigned Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Frankly, I don't actually care that much about a logo or indeed a mascot one way or another: after all their really aimed at weans and/or Sevco fane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
