Pettywulliegrew-2 Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 That would be excellent ! For me the away kit this season could have been superb if it had an alternate Amber stripes/hoops to the claret .....missed a trick imho and white shorts with black socks with c&a trim for the home kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelmaninOZ Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Nice , about time we go back to the white away strip. My all time favourite away kit was the admiral kit of the mid '70's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadgey Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 I would love that away shirt !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The African Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Would imagine that any newstrip announced and worn will be the home strip. An away strip will probably have to wait until the close season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenin the Parakeet Posted April 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Question asked because I noticed the current strip is listed as 2017/2018 and didn't know if (!) there was a new one planned. I'd buy a "cup-final special" (if a replica) but would then hate to see a new strip launched a few weeks later. Not everyone can afford both (or a double family load). New strip ahead of the final makes sense - pre-game sales "bounce", plus the regular pre-season sales and extras on the back of the victory. COYW!

Yep, that would do the job, never been a big fan of over complicated kit that’s not even in traditional colours, pretty much why I don’t like the gray in this seasons away kit.

In my opinion nothing beats a pure white kit with flashes of claret and amber. And as a bonus it looks great under the floodlights. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenin the Parakeet Posted April 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Of course, in that vintage year of 1991 we all bought white cup-final replica tops in advance of the big day only for The 'Well to win the toss and get to play in amber.

Andy_P Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 One of last season's away kits but with this seasons sponsors logo, who only came on board in the summer, so not just a case of scrambling around for kit. Presumably it would had to have been registered at some point for them to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggischomper Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Looked a darker grey to me which threw me. Wondered if it was a training kit or summat Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underboyleheating Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 The new AIK Stockholm away kit has adopted the retro two coloured chest hoop design. Available to buy without the shirt sponsor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
something else Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Be nice if we did something similar. Macron have been good but my one gripe is the black/white training gear. We should have claret/amber stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I very much doubt it will happen as unless you are a big club they usually just stick a badge onto an existing colour template.

Lenin the Parakeet Posted April 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 I'm sure I read somewhere (sometime) that there was an extra cost in producing the correct shades of C&A. Fine if you'll be selling thousands.... Personally, I'd like to see the on-line shop stock some things which fit someone older than twelve. Man cannot live by replica tops alone.

Hibs training kit aligns with the bigger outfits south of the border and that of our professional rugby squads and it looks a more polished professional Macron product. Hib’s are a bigger concern and yes individual contract terms will decide on what level of service a team gets. I think Provan Sports are still our kit design middle men (or has that changed?), whereas the likes of Hibernian will deal with Macron directly. I suspect that’s why Leanne Dempster was pictured outside Macrons Italian head office last year after finalising next seasons Hibernian kit. Lets be honest Motherwell will never be first in line for bespoke C&A training wear from any kit supplier. Consequently, I suspect the conversation with the Macron rep will have went something like this... “You can have any colour you want as long as it’s not bespoke” That usually means black, grey or blue. However, in the past we have had C&A training kit from the likes of Patrick, Umbro, Admiral etc... who have all provided this service. I do accept times have changed, however, as a kit fan I still get romantic over every last detail and that includes training kit. Will bespoke training wear make us play any better? No. Will it make us look smarter in the pre season squad pic and warm ups? I think yes. Does anyone care apart from me? Probably a very, very small few. Although I was heartened to hear our new media man cite the importance of consistency of our corporate colours throughout all our branding in the recent podcast. I can only dream that this will extend to training wear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSL are actually in a similar role at Easter Road as they are with us. The only thing is that as they play in green, I reckon that they are in a better position of having more choice of training kit. However, I believe we have renewed our deal with Macron so you may find that things have changed slight from next season. You’ll also notice that from when they joined on board that their logo has only ever appeared on the strips and not on the programme, pitch side boards, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
