underboyleheating Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 It’s that time of year when the new kits for the coming season will soon be revealed. Macron have done a relatively good job during the 5 years they have suppled our kit. Xara got 9 years and are still our longest supplier in recent years. They supplied our kit from 1998 until 2007. So what are we all hoping Macron will give us for the 2019-20 season? Of course both shirts will more than likely be ruined by the obligatory ‘betting dot com’ sponsor. An unfortunate trait that effects nearly 35 clubs over the UK and the biggest moan that I hear on the football kit forums from fans of clubs blighted by the online gambling industry. EDIT: Poll added to gauge preferences now the kits have been showcased. Absolutely nothing to do with updating the poll on the front page whatsoever...

weeyin Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 Nice. I'd buy that one. EDIT: I think the away top is my favourite, but I've always been a fan of our white tops. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfc88 Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 I'm the opposite - never been a fan of the white away tops. Always preferred the claret/ reverse home style ones. But that one is smart! Like the home one too. Here's hoping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality is fine - I just wasn't a big fan of the collar style this season. Thought it spoiled the look. I have one of the rain jackets, and agree it's well made.

The Macron stuff is okay, however, if I had to be picky the detailing can be a little too fussy. This years home collar is a good example of how to complicate a crew neck. If it’s not broke there is no need to fix/change it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion the two icons on the shoulder just increase the overall fussiness of their shirts. Macron clearly see this as a branding awareness exercise similar to Kappa. Bukta, Umbro and Admiral started this trend in the 1970s by saturating kits in branding by incorporating it as part of their overall design. I loved those kits as they are part of design history but in today’s world I believe less is more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underboyleheating Posted May 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Two of the latest Macron shirt designs are the Alhena and the Canopus. Both contain a little of the fussiness I was describing about their kit. Of course they do it to make their shirt templates different from the others, however at times you wonder what purpose these little design elements serve. The Macron Alhena shirt The Macron Canopus shirt Actually both would make reasonable Motherwell tops and I would be relatively happy with them. A very quick C&A version of those shirts to give you some idea of what potentially they would look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do love diagonal sash shirts, however, in my opinion they work better with winged collars rather than the crewneck style shown. The one we had recently was a one off home kit that payed homage to our mid 70s side and I very much doubt we will be doing that again soon on our home top. I would tend to reserve it for away shirts and leave our home as traditional as possible. Anyway, here is a very quick diagonal sash render on the Alhena shirt. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yabba's Turd Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Hoops seem a little thin or a little high to my untrained eye, the diagonal shirt though... belter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
