MelvinBragg Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Maybe a few folk would like to know ?I'm sure a few folk, clearly including yourself, would. My only point is, it'll likely be a long sleeved football top of one colour or another with no claret and amber. So while I understand some might be keen to see it, can't understand the real impatience. Most teams goalkeeper tops are interchangeable, badges aside. Clearly I'm not a real fan as I have no interest whatsoever in the Motherwell goalkeeper top. It could be zebra print for all I care. In fact, that might help put off opposition strikers...

BigWeegieDosser Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Shuggie, Shuggie swing on the bar... A legend, and people think Manny Neuer invented playing as a sweeper, I can recall Shuggie tackling a forward in the oppositions half!!

underboyleheating Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 My favourite goalkeeping kit combo was Keith MacRae’s all black kit, if my memory serves me correct he was asked to change it before a match once as it clashed with the referee’s kit. However, strangely other refs had no issue with him wearing it. To this day, Keith is still the best goalkeeper that I have seen play for Motherwell.

underboyleheating Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 I assume the new kit will get it’s first outing in the league opener against Inverness as we appear to be playing all of our pre-season games in training gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desp Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 I got the new away kit in yesterday, and i've got to agree with Lobey Dosser, it's even better up close. An absolute cracker of a top. I'll be taking mine back to go a size up though. It's very fitted, and being a gentleman who, shall we say, doesn't quite suit the fitted look, i'll opt for the larger size.

underboyleheating Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 It would appear that American comic Tom Green has accepted a gift of the new Motherwell away top after a brief conversation on our twitter feed. Tom wore the original Pony pinstripe version in one of his comedy sketches a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maplewell Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 So what is the verdict of most in terms of sizes? Go a size above what you usually get? I'm ordering it and won't have a chance to try it on before it arrives. Cheers in advanced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace_MFC Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 I had to go from large to XL. In fairness I've felt the last few large shirts over recent seasons to be tight. Might just me me getting bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkletsfly Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 I'm always usually a large. I've actually lost a bit of timber in the past few months but the new large was skin tight so went for the XL which is a 42 inch chest and a good fit.

underboyleheating Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 I popped into the Well shop today and I was happy to see that Copa have produced a replica of our 1970s claret sash shirt. I was hoping to replace the less than accurate Xara replica I bought from the club shop a few years back and was hopeful that Copa would do the shirt justice. However, the design OCD in me was instantly drawn to the claret sash and the ultimate frustration that they have also fell short in producing an exact replica of the original. In my opinion, the point in producing replica shirts is to match the original design as accurately as possible (especially the main design features). Two minutes of online picture research would have shown the Copa production team that the edge of the claret sash should be almost flush against the amber ‘V’ section of the winged collar and finishing flat against the shoulder (see picture below). Accurate replica’s take time to produce and in the event of not having an original shirt to copy they should always be based around decent pictures from the time. I realise that the majority of our fan base will not give a toss on whether a replica is accurate or not, however, I believe if a job is worth doing, it’s worth doing well. Right I am off to take another dose of my OCD medication before I pass out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_P Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 I have to be honest UBH that does appear to be nit-picking in the extreme. I would guess that it's not so much that most fans wouldn't give a toss, it would be more a case that the difference is so slight most fans wouldn't even notice. Screwing up a retro kit to me would be the very first effort the club sanctioned where they stuck at huge square Motherwell badge on a 1952 Cup shirt - when badges obviously didn't appear on shirts until decades later but to me the example above is a more than fair representation of the shirt.

Frazzie Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 I also pointed out to the club on Twitter that the recent Copa 1932 shirt had MFC emblazoned across it for no apparent reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My nit picking is born out of frustration Andy and the fact that it’s so easy to get these things right. For me, positioning the main design feature (the sash) in the wrong position can be avoided with a few minutes of picture research. Like you said, sticking a badge on a retro shirt that never had one originally is also something that should be avoided (the 52 shirt you mentioned was a good example). At least this Copa shirt is nowhere near as bad as the some of the original replica’s from the 70's, where the sash went in the opposite direction. This Copa shirt is a good replica, however, with a few tweaks it could have been a great replica. As spiderpig suggested, I am off to find a new hobby to occupy my time. The wife will be pleased.

steetee Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Does anyone else have the sponsor lettering peeling off their strips? I've kept to washing instructions, yet the shirt is in a bad way after only wearing it around 15 times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadgey Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Yeh, My shirts (mine and the kids) from last season are doing exactly the same thing too. This years lasted a bit longer but still, very shoddy!!!! Doesn't the sponsor get printed on the shirt post production in house by Proven Sports?
