fifexile Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 Amongst all the other speculation going on about new signings, who owns the club, how will the new pitch stand up with only Thistle playing on it, I'll throw in another one, what combination of rednyella are we wearing next season? I'll put an early shout out for a throwback to the 1950's and 60's and suggest broad red and yellow horizontal stripes on the shirt and white shorts. Pure speculation on my part I have no insider knowledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandy Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 We are probably due horizontal stripes again. Retro look would be a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure speculation on my part I have no insider knowledge. Spectacular suggestion. I was chatting to a friend a few weeks ago and talking about next year's kit I raised the hope that PTFC and O'Neils would come up with a modern version of our early 1960s kit. I told him if this happened it would be a sell out. Why dont you email the club with your idea. I am not sure those currently running the club have any idea how 'iconic' we consider this kit to be or its sales potential. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks exiledjag TBH I'd assume the kits are already designed to allow for production lead ins. I hope when we own the club our new board will consult with the fans ETA a navy shirt white shorts as the official away kit please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggy Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 (edited) Don’t mind the 50’s and 60’s tops but not with white shorts please. We had them in a similar kit in the late 90’s. Honking Edited May 24, 2022 by jaggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 60's kit aways appeared to be a darker shade of both the red and yellow although that might be due to the photos I've seen, Anyone else remember better than me?

I've a 60s replica top that's every bit as bright as any red & yellow Jag's top. But I think there may have also been a darker shade top kicking about back then or just before as well. Not that dissimilar to Lord Rosebery's racing colours if you know what I mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a horrible recollection of a kind of lemon and pink top instead of red and yellow, and I remember hating it even more because we were so crap at the time. Will try to find a couple pictures of it. It still gives me nightmares! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A "hole-in-the-wall" operation. Without some major redevelopment at the stadium it's hard to see how this could change. Maybe some improved signage to the offices?

Ridiculous size of Club Shop with limited stock No idea how to run a commercial outlet and it’s obviously been passed on to Greaves Sports who quite rightly will be taking their cut and diminishing profits to PTFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is finding somewhere to put it. Can't think of any space in the main stand that would do the job. Might be room in the JHS but access is an issue.

Colours are definitely too pale but darker red and yellow with a black round collar and cuffs, white shorts and 60's style red socks with yellow turnovers and a black hoop. Maybe I'm getting too nostalgic! Those old kits looked so much better without all the logos and advertising plastered everywhere! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifexile Posted May 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 Response from the club re next seasons kits: Hi Iain Thank you for your message. We expect to launch the new kit towards the end of June. Obviously we hope to make the launch as interesting as we can for fans therefore I am unable to provide you with any further information at this time. Keep an eye on our website/social media.
