JeanieD Posted June 4, 2024 Report Share Posted June 4, 2024 Saw it in the flesh (so to say) today and the most pleasing part of it is that the red and yellow hues are far closer to the old time reds and yellows of the 60s and 70s rather than the scarlet and highlighter yellows that have been prevalent in more recent times.

For me the worst one was (if I remember correctly) around the time of STJ. The team was rank, and matched by the jersey: the hoops, instead of red and yellow, appeared more like pink and lemon. Always hated it (but have always loved the 50s and 60s R&Y hoops). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm old fashioned - I know! - but I don't think black should be a prominent feature of any thistle shirt. Red and yellow for this lad... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For trim yes, for shorts fine, but black should not be a prominent colour on a Thistle shirt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(probably repeated) Not sure where it went from there. Can anyone else recall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Third Lanark Posted June 5, 2024 Report Share Posted June 5, 2024 For those that have been in the Graves shop what’s the other new Partick Thistle merchandise like - training tops, polo shirts etc Its usually a really good range that ONeils produce for the club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headstone included? 🙃 For me, the best quality leisurewear we've ever had was the Puma period during the earlier tie-up with Greaves. Well, at the start of it, at least. Then somebody thought Thistle fans would like to buy Airdie diamond-like tops, and it went quickly downhill after that. I still have a few excellent quality t-shirts and polos from that early period. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was sung occasionally by our away support, but did not ever gain any traction at Firhill. For some reason I can recall singing it at Love Street, so it must have been when we were in the same league as St Mirren. I think that it may have been only a temporary happening over a handful of games and it never entered the more permanent songbook. I will consult with family members and see if I can tie this down in terms of what season it might have been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deffo not in the pub prior to any game. Deffo heard (and participated in) the song. Would be happy to give evidence under oath in court to that effect!

We tend not to be in the same league as St Mirren very often since the early 80’s so it should be quite easy to work out an approximate year.

Deco City Jag Posted June 15, 2024 Report Share Posted June 15, 2024 Training stuff was really good first year or so with O'Neills but last 2 it's been howfing, really hoping the away top is special as home one does nothing for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifexile Posted June 28, 2024 Report Share Posted June 28, 2024 I like the new away kit. Nice change from the usual predominantly black or white away kits. Minor quibble with the colours on the shorts hem. I'd rather just have black trim and black tops to the socks but overall 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deco City Jag Posted June 29, 2024 Report Share Posted June 29, 2024 Awful, must be a boring old fart but I much prefer red/black/yellow/white combo or at least navy blue with white like we had few years back for centenary top or anniversary canna mind which, like I say getting old!
