I’m not sure, however, my father told me he was a hell of a player.

Willie Hunter. The main stand is also looking good.

I shared this image with him months ago. It’s a great ad featuring our 100 year anniversary top.

Has anyone got some decent colour pictures of our away kit that used that design?

The monogram that Admiral stitched onto both our home and away tops. I redrew this for the Admiral white Bukta away replica shirt that were sold in the club shop.

Celtic’s finishing was clinical as they never created many chances out with the ones they did score.

Another mistake by Dunne?

4-1

We started positively, however, the Aldred injury effected us badly.

Damage limitation now, time to shut up shop in the second half. We’ve let the Aldred injury get to us.

Any stream links to Celtic TV?

I would agree that looking at the bigger picture is more important than financial short term gain. Under PSL’s tenure we have negotiated deals with 5 kit manufacturers. Xara: 1998 - 2007 Bukta: 2007 - 2009 Canterbury: 2009 - 2010 Puma: 2010 - 2014 Macron: 2014 - ???? These are clearly companies that PSL have a good working knowledge of and in the main they served us well. Although, Bukta in my opinion from a design perspective was a bit of a disaster. I’m unsure if the likes of Umbro, New Balance would allow kit brokers access to their ‘premium kit line’ as they appear to prefer dealing directly with the clubs. Hearts are a good example of this kind of direct deal as they seem to have a relationship with Umbro with no involvement from any PSL kit brokering company. So with that in mind I’m speculating that we can discount a Hearts style Umbro deal as conversations would need to be held directly with Umbro with no involvement from any middle men.

If a change meant more money to the club it might be difficult for the board to refuse another retail/kit deal. However, PSL do a good job and I would be happy for them to hang around for a bit longer. Although the kit lover in me would love to see Umbro come on board as they make some great modern kits with a retro twist. Is that something that PSL could arrange?

I agree. The C&A section should be kept to a minimum and with that template it can dominate the shirt too much . As the saying goes, less is more.

Sadly no club monogram on those replica’s. That was reserved for the match worn shirts.

Sadly most of his stock is in kid’s sizes as they were the target market for team replica. I still have my original white away from that era and it’s almost impossible to wear due to the material used.

I follow him on Twitter and he has unearthed a few Motherwell Admiral replica kits over the years.

A wasted career, however, he’s a born entertainer.

So this could potentially be our final season with PSL. By my calculation this kit/retail partnership has been going for around 17/18 years (is this a record?). In that time we have kits from Xara, Bukta, Canterbury, Puma and Macron. Which begs the question could we get a better kit/retail deal elsewhere? I’m not sure on the percentage that the club earns from the PSL deal, but every penny is a prisoner and if nothing else it would be interesting to see what other partnership deals are available. Or is it a case of if it’s not broke, why fix it? Personally I think PSL do a great job, however, is there more profit to be made elsewhere?

Agreed. I would say it’s almost impossible. Although, never say never I’ve been to too many games against the Old Firm where it’s been a foregone conclusion and we have defied the odds.

Your wish is my command. Sorry it’s a very quick mock up but it will give you some idea what it would look like in C&A. Right I need to get back to work.

I rarely buy kits due to my age and usually only make an exception for decent retro. I only wear them to the odd game and that’s about that.
