underboyleheating Posted June 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 I’m hoping for a revival of our 70s Umbro white away for season 21-22. It’s long overdue a reboot. However, I’m sure they will modernise the 70s floppy winged collar to something more ‘now’ from their extensive shirt template archive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The African Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 It is a cool shirt, with only really the collar that "dates" it. Any change there would have to be sympathetically done though. It is amazing how a detail such as a collar design can ruin the whole picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As such, keeping the riot for our away kit seems to work pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would need to be modernised as the large winged ‘Harry Hill’ collar was of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, to pose a typical close season type of question, if we were to change it, what within our current badge is dated and should be scrapped and what would folk like to see?

Well there are no steelworks any more, the craig is gone, and does the Fir tree forest depicted still exist, apart from those 2 the football and the colour scheme are ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly wasn’t aware of a fir tree forest. Where was it? I get the point about the craig but again isn’t that symbolic of us being the steelmen? That surely couldn’t be lost in any new logo, steel was invented in Motherwell after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzie Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 We don’t change the badge because the stuff depicted Isn’t there anymore. If anything, that makes the badge even more important. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If every club changed their badge based on current industry we'd all just have call centres as a logo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a reworked version drawn from a photo of the steelworks. I gave it to a fan group for their flag. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underboyleheating Posted June 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 First time I’ve looked at Jako team wear. The bold chest band ‘Boca’ template would make a decent, classic Motherwell home shirt. They have some nice team wear templates on their website and a few of them would look good in claret and amber.

underboyleheating Posted June 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 Kappa are probably better known as a sports fashion brand. However, they still produce pro team wear for a few clubs. I’ve mocked up three current templates with additional sublimation that I though looked pretty smart in claret & amber. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underboyleheating Posted June 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 Motherwell’s first ever C&A shirt was mainly claret with a bold amber yolk. However, as our shirt evolved the amber soon became the dominant shade. Le Coq Sportif have a yolk design as part of their current range and I utilised it for my ‘reverse’ take on our first C&A shirt. I’ve always loved Le Coq Sportif sportswear, although they have never really made a big inroads in the UK team wear market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
