kni Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Greaves appear to have sold most of the replica strips, training gear and merchandise at the discount prices. To avoid over-stocking, it would be useful if the club officials had an indication of what the fans want to buy. So what are your preferred designs for 1. Home and away strips. 2. Training and travel gear. 3. Other clothing, e.g. t-shirts, polo shirts caps. 4. Other merchandise. And what would you buy for yourself or your family? My own view is that training gear, t-shirts, polo shirts, sweatshirts, fleeces should be primarily in red and yellow. I would like to see some cotton rugby shirts and shorts (for holiday wear) in the range too. Ideally, the logos should not be too big. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Greaves set-up saw us with some really top-notch gear in the first year or two. But when the Airdire tribute stuff appeared and didn't shift, along with off-the-shelf black and white stuff that could have applied to just about any club, both the supporters and Greaves seemed to lose enthusiasm.

jagfox Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Black polo top with red and yellow braiding maybe? Some decent hats and scarves. Archie manager jackets for the bad weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 THISTLE TARTAN SCARVES!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kni Posted April 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Black polo top with red and yellow braiding maybe? Yes - like the Fred Perry range. THISTLE TARTAN SCARVES!!!!! How silly of me to forget them! Thistle tartan hats and ties ought to sell well too. Ideally, there should be some scarves in thick wool (like university scarves) for cold days and evenings.

Zaphod Beeblebrox Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 What about a tartan away strip like the scotland one in '96. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWM Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Thick hoops or stripes. Don't care about the shorts, hooped socks. Only strip I've bought the last few years was the black Macb away top, think I'll get a new 'un next year. Hopefully out early doors for holiday time...

anrk303 Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Ideally a home top with thick red and yellow. Doesn't matter about hoops or stripes as both have been with us for a good while. Some decent scarves and hats in proper red and yellow or the Thistle tartan would be good too. I've been really disappointed with the stuff that Greaves have issued and I know I'm not alone.

potty trained Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Some decent scarves and hats in proper red and yellow or the Thistle tartan would be good too. Scarves and hats aren't really an issue any more with us being in the SPL i'm sure we'll see a marked increase in the stall sellers out in the street... At around 6 or 7 quid a scarf from them, i could understand why Joma might not want to compete with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kni Posted May 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 A quality wool scarf, like the one I had at uni, should be a good seller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambies Lost Doo Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 <p>As others have said the early Puma gear was topnotch.</p> <ol> <li>I have a really nice PTFC Puma red cotton polo shirt with yellow and black braiding. Would like something similar and I do like the idea of a Fred Perry rip off in black or red. Yellow can be for the NGE casuals..</li> <li>A "classic retro" looking trackie top always goes down well. Can't have enough of them.</li> <li>Cagoule and training top for fives, jogging and going to the game would next be on my list.</li> <li>Beanie hat. Puma ones were good for the cold.</li> <li>I really liked the Thistle black away with stripe down the side which I purchased. The last away one with Thistle was also cracking. Not fussed about colour or style of home top but a something clever for the Away top like the Grey and Pink one would be ideal. I think a tartan one would work very very well ala the old Morton one from late nineties.</li> </ol> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kni Posted May 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) Just up on the club website. Take a look at the young lad on the right with "Joma" on his black shorts. Is that next season's strip? Edited May 29, 2013 by kni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potty trained Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Could be, Kni. It's red n yellow and made by Joma, thats 2 boxes ticked. Wouldn't that be a turn up if Joma took a brand new contract so lightly, that they gave us some stock local Boys Club strip. Maybe they'll give us Dunfermline's away strip from last year to really fck us up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kni Posted May 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) ^ It looks like a red and yellow version of this strip. Joma has a standard range of hooped shirts. Edit to add that the lad in the picture is wearing the plain black shorts that are near the bottom of that page.

alx Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Traditional Hoops please. I really dislike the recent MASSIVE MacB logos. In fact I dislike it so much that it might put me off buying a strip. >>>PLEASE JAGS TONE DOWN THE SIZE OF THE LOGO<<<. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
