Happy Dosser Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 To me our late 50s/60s white away will always be associated with the legendary Ian St. John. A unique design that I have never seen any other side adopt. The C&A sleeve hoops were particularly novel. A sponsor free modern version would look superb under the floodlights. Do you have a foatie?

daver Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 I assume football strips weren't available to buy in those days and it made me wonder - when did replica strips start? Oldest one I can remember is the 1978 nipple ripping Scotland top but it may go way beyond that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoojy Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Right, so 'flow says no new kit announced tomorrow. But, specifically 'not the kit'. Does that mean a new supplier? - doubtful given the prominence of Macron featuring in the new player photos. Does it mean a new sponsorship deal? Or even a teaser of a new strip, or colour of the away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underboyleheating Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Do you have a foatie? It was old school Umbro from circa 1959. It would need to be brought up to date, however, you can see just how unique it was from this... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wee man got one for Xmas but it had baby socks included. I ask every time I am in and no joy with replacements yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderpig Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 As one who does not buy the new strips as they are released do the majority of the well fans care what the strips look like some variation of claret and amber dies it really matter as most fans won't buy them, just my opinion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 The level of caring ranges from folk like you (and me) who won't be buying one and don't really mind, to the likes of underboyleheating who will have a mild stroke if one stitch on the badge is 0.5 microns off centre 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yabba's Turd Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Probably my favourite 'well tops of the last 15 years has been the untouchables home and away (summer cup) and the petrol blue sampdoria type one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ask every time I am in and no joy with replacements yet. I couldn't find Penny's for the game she was mascot, the replacements I got were absolutely massive and folded over about 10 times. Cutting to the chase though I've since found her socks and they are too small, they are a 6-7 if any use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellfan10 Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 I'd like to see a return to the claret away kit with Amber pinstripes. Looked well smart long sleeved. Shame the sponsors logo fell straight aff it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underboyleheating Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 I hope the club will still offer the fans the opportunity to buy sponsor free replicas. To me this was a positive move, however, i suspect this won’t happen this time around. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya Bezzer! Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 I'd like to see a return to the claret away kit with Amber pinstripes. Looked well smart long sleeved. Shame the sponsors logo fell straight aff it I've always felt the claret away strip was completely pointless as it clashes more with the likes of Aberdeen, Hearts etc than our amber home strip does. The only other teams we'd need to wear an away kit against would be Partick and Hamilton and they have varying amounts of red in their strips as well.

Happy Dosser Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 I've always felt the claret away strip was completely pointless as it clashes more with the likes of Aberdeen, Hearts etc than our amber home strip does. The only other teams we'd need to wear an away kit against would be Partick and Hamilton and they have varying amounts of red in their strips as well. Have to agree on that one. I think it was quite a nice modern reworking of the C&A stripes we wore before the hoop but it actually increases the colour clashes. Since I don't like seeing 'Well play in blue for obvious reasons and we abandoned that in 1915 anyway, we don't have many options if we don't play in a predominately white change kit. Having said that, being firmly in the UBH camp, as long as we play in a hoop and white shorts, I could probably accept heliotrope and pink stripes with frilly knickers as the change strip: it would be an improvement on the infamous Jester's Outfit, after all. That cheesed me off so much I needed counselling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
