You might not be too far out with that one. I suspect traditionalists will not be too happy with the new kit as the rumour is they are something a little bit different from our usual. I’m expecting a sublimated pattern of some sort as Macron do love that technique. Thank god I no longer buy replica tops.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underboyleheating Posted June 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 There have been quite a few white away kits this year so I’m expecting us to buck that trend and opt for a mainly claret away with “gold’ trims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underboyleheating Posted June 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Bradford have also controversially switched from amber to pale yellow. I can’t see that going down too well with the C&A diehard fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I would much prefer a proper full bold claret hoop as that makes it more of an integral part of the design. Just ask Boca Juniors fans what a proper bold hoop means to them. Airdrie have stood firm over the years through various kit manufacturers when they could have easily opted for generic team wear with no full diamond.

weeyin Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 I'm no expert, but I suspect if there weren't more popular rugby league teams that use the diamond template, Airdrie might not find it as easy to get one their shirt these days.

Their kit each year is a bespoke sublimation. Similar to what we do, however, they always sublimate a full red diamond, whereas we normally only sublimate a front “advertising” band. We could print a full hoop, although, it has become rarer over the years. It’s not often I say that Airdrie get it right more than us.

Andy_P Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 You could also argue the point however that their diamond is rarely if ever unbroken either because they have nowhere else to put their badge nor kit supplier but on the diamond itself. And the further consequence of that is that there is nowhere else for them to put their sponsor than below the diamond which often leaves them with a very busy looking shirt, particularly when they also include shadow images such as their artex style Hummel kit - and bizzarely the later re-incarnation of it, and dependent on the sponsors logo. And that's before you even get into things like lead times from their suppliers to actually get their kit on sale. So the commitment to retain their diamond isn't without some cost. Given that we're not out of June and some of our support give the impression they've almost chewed their arms down to their elbows in nervous anticipation of seeing what our kit looks I'd suggest given the times we live and operate in we've got the balance between giving a nod to tradition, adhering to SPFL requirements and meeting the expectations of supporters in teams of availability to purchase just about right.

I suspect it’s due to the new sponsor having to be printed on the existing stock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
