something else Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 1 hour ago, underboyleheating said: 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. Joma who supply Dunfermline's kit do some smart training wear in their club colours. Reminds me of some of the training gear that matchwinner done in the late 80's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they signed a deal last year to take over from Just Sports who do the Nike strips and dodgy Avec training gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit I’m not a fan of the Joma stuff. Their dated ‘J’ logo and confusing branding irks me. Although to be fair, smaller concerns will usually provide a more bespoke service for their clients and that has to be commended. When I get some time I will mock up a Joma C&A track top. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underboyleheating Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 A Motherwell version of the Dunfermline Joma tracksuit top would look a bit like my quick mock up. In my opinion they appear to be stuck in a late 80s early 90s time warp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siebsbarmyarmy Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 Not great at all at putting images up but someone who does might want to check out the new QOTS Macron away strip... Very nicely done in Claret & Amber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had the same strip as Bradford City and ourselves (we copied Bradford). I wanted a similar strip as an away or third kit when Puma were our supplier. I still live in hope that PSL and Macron might produce something similar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underboyleheating Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 The new 2018 Mexico adidas away would fit my remit for an ideal Motherwell white away top. Sadly a sponsor would ruin it and there would need to be some agreement to sell sponsor free shirts. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 That's a beauty. Even with a solid bar that accommodates the sponsor it would still be a fantastic choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every strip we have should always have a sponsor free option, people buy the tops in support of the team, or a s fashion item if they like the style, they don't want it ruined and have to walk about as an unpaid advertiser for some random company or product. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. Funnily enough, the shirts I've bought over the past 10 years or so have been the ones available without a sponsor (including that retro one that was available for a while) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanMFC Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 Will we still be with Motorpoint as a sponsor?! The Bukta “retro” training top has been the best recently by a mile, IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underboyleheating Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 The Faroe Islands Macron shirt could potentially make a very smart away top. Subtle C&A trims on the collar and cuffs and the addition of a C&A chest band would finish the look. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welldaft Mk1 Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 Why is the tops on these types of threads are invariably better than what we end up with. Even those where we have mocked up a Macron template. UBH white kits above would have me literally drooling. The Adidas one is epic but the one above would do the trick nicely. Here’s hoping.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 Why do none of the mock ups show a pot-belly so that we would know what it really looked like 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
