Happy Dosser Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 An unusual page on the HFK website re our club's change strips through the ages. I'm presuming UBH has been the principal consultant : Motherwell FC Change Kits - Historical Football Kits (historicalkits.co.uk) Still think nothing beats the old white "floodlight strip" as a change. The accompanying written notes reminded me that Aberdeen played in black and gold stripes until after the war, when they switched to red for some reason I have been unable to discover.

It’s still a work in progress as we recently discovered an as yet unrecorded Motherwell away kit in a Scottish photographic archive.

Very handy if you don’t know how to work photoshop or similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 I'm sure nobody thought I meant 100% of the global human population wore Nevica in the 80's, but just in case there is any confusion "we all wore it" is a figure of speech to suggest that there was a lot of it about. I humbly apologise to all the fashionistas who thought I was accusing them personally of wearing fluorescent jackets in the 80s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colours, style etc. Expand I’d need to check as the picture is copyrighted and is set to feature in a Scottish Football picture book soon to be released. I don’t want to upset anyone as it’s still not even listed on our HFK away kit section yet. It’s nothing that out of the ordinary, however, when you spot something you haven’t seen before it intrigues you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Grew Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 Far too much white trimming for my liking and we should’ve gone for white shorts. White shorts make our C & A really stand out.

SteelmaninOZ Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 Hopefully the ‘Well shop sell it sponsor free and the away top as well I would probably buy both. Btw the inside collar of the home kit is really something special Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
