underboyleheating Posted June 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 I’m hoping we resist the temptation to go down the Hibernian route. Keep it classy Motherwell, keep it classy. I have the fear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welldaft Mk1 Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 I like the Hibs kit. We could keep the Well one simple and classy and it would end up resembling the same top every year. How is that going to sell. I am in London and have seen 3 of the new Nigeria tops worn in one day. Someone told me they produces millions and have sold out. So maybe pish but clubs such as ours need tops to be revenue earners as well as smart looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purestate Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 Don’t conflate the Nigerian kit pattern with this abomination. If it had been an experiment with an away kit then okay, but based on these pics this looks like cheap teamwear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purestate Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 Just had a look at the Hibs away kit. Replace the white with amber and green with claret - add hoop - and you’ve a well kit. In other Macron offerings a Well version of the paint splatter Ross County main kit could be a potential away kit. Claret (or black) replacing blue, keep white, amber for red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand The top can change in many ways as it has with different designs. I just don’t like adding patterns and prefer blocks of straight colour. They can keep all their paint splatters, blocks, swirls for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yep, the 3 million sales was mentioned on tv yesterday. The words “ Worldwide fashion campaign” pretty much sums up you can sell anything if you throw enough money at it. The sales are obviously also due in part to the popularity of the Nigerian team just now, 10,000 supporters at Wembley, they could have pretty much sold anything. The Roma top further up the thread shows a bit of class. But hey personal opinion and if the above makes more money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbcmfc Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 Just on the Hibs kit, their white and Green Away kit probably clashes with Celtics green and grey hoops more than their home kit, making it completely redundant.... The Ross County has a hint of the Union Jack about the pattern. Not quite as bad as the fake Rangers one though.

Expand The population of Nigeria doesn't have anything to do with why the kit and the range in general has been given editorial space in Esquire, GQ and most of the respected fashion blogs online. They have absolutely hit upon whats current and in demand at the moment, and also realised the potential for selling football merchandise to non-football fans. Not for a second relating it to us, just pointing out that middle-aged scotsmen on a football forum aren't particularly the go-to focus-group for design that they might think they are. That Nigeria top is, to use the parlance of our times, straight fire. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand If we could guarantee to do that I would happily give up tradition in exchange for money. Nigeria are clearly on to something and I recon we should follow suit. Motherwell fashionista kit could be the next big thing for non-football fans. Who’s the UK’s top fashion designer? Flow should get on the phone to them asap and arrange a design deal, Motherwell are going global. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
