Any Subbuteo fans have this in their collection?

A variation on the Macron collar template. This time with a claret collar and claret shorts. The last time we had a proper claret winged style collar was our 2000-02 Xara top.

I did. However, I put it in the in and out section and called it a contract extension. Lol

It’s a contract extension. Lol

Motherwell FC can today confirm Alan Burrows has been promoted to the role of Chief Operating Officer

I can’t believe they are still here!

I miss those classic hyped up ‘Goal Machine’ style threads.

I remember the OG. However, my Thistle mate is gutted that he is leaving, so maybe we got him on a bad day. It will certainly be interesting to see where he ends up.

Patrick fans favourite, Frédéric Frans has left Plastic Thistle. Not sure where he is going, however, he always look pretty solid for them.

They are nothing special and if we approach the game in the right manner we will win the tie.

Perhaps the MFC monogram would be more suited to leisurewear. Any news on who the new shirt sponsor is yet? As it has the potential to make or break a design.

Shoot! Dec 1987.

I would love to see more C&A leisurewear in the club shop. Especially polo shirts and tracksuit tops. It’s also a pity that the officially club training gear is rarely C&A these days. Ah well I can but dream...

A retro design classic. The shirt was a bastardisation of pre-existing adidas tops (Forrest yellow away/West Ham white away) from the time and that’s why it was more yellow than amber. They were ‘frankenstein’ one-offs created just for the team and were never released for sale. Thank goodness we have more control over our colours now and a decent club shop.

I would agree on both points. Our amber at times has a tendency to flirt with yellow and I personally would prefer if it was a touch darker. Our claret has been pretty consistent over the years, however, we need to make sure that it doesn’t shift towards the cooler maroon side of the spectrum. Our claret should always be warm and our amber should always be rich and vibrant. Right, I need to go as I am required at Paris fashion week.

Unbelievable.

It’s probably just the lighting. Amber comes in many shades and can look yellow in certain light conditions. Our original amber from 1913-28 was dark and the now brighter shade wasn’t introduced until Sept-Oct 1928. We have strayed over the years especially in the 1970s when the kit could be best described as pale yellow. After a few hiccups along the way we appear to have settled on a half decent shade between yellow and our original dark amber. Colours can vary between kit manufactures, however, Macron seem to be not too bad at achieving a decent tone.

It’s a cracker as well.

The new Bradford away would make an excellent away kit for us.

It was a great kit. My regret is that we have never had another Umbro kit since then. Ian Skelly used to do some great ads promoting them and us. A classic sponsor for a classic top.

You would think that in this day and age that a live feed could be arranged for overseas members.
