Son Of Anarchy Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 The McCraes strip was indeed emotional however the design was also superb. The FOH strip is special however I am afraid the design is extremely poor. Tbh the design etc of the FOH top is immaterial to me. On my physique its for framing not wearing I really like it and it screams "we did this" "we helped save the famous". It could be identical to the Scotland away shirt and id still feel the same. Without us we wouldn't have had a team to wear any shirt again. Proud to be a jambo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that is a gimmie. All I am saying is that I find the design really disappointing. To me it looks like a newspaper - a maroon background with white names would have looked much better IMO.

King Of The Cat Cafe Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 The McCraes strip was indeed emotional however the design was also superb. The FOH strip is special however I am afraid the design is extremely poor. A thing I find strange is that they started with Ls on the front and then moved on to Ms. The As start on the back. I would have expected the As to be on the front. Of course, if they had been really clever, they could have had two templates: one starting with A on the front and one starting L or M on the front. That way people could have chosen/been sent a version with their name on the front. I am on the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomaso Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Careful! I said that when it was revealed and the vitriol started. If some on here can't separate the fantastic cause from the poor design, then that's their problem Geoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRY Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Presumably they just had a whole load of material with the names printed over and over..? So, depending on where the material was cut for the different sizes tops etc, some people will have a top with their name on the front, but their name may appear on the back of someone else's top? FWIW, my name is on the back of mine, so framing is kind of pointless... :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hearts @ heart Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Agree this top is very special to me. My name is on a Hearts top and it is unlikely my name will be on another in my lifetime. No Large in the shop. It was explained that it is a numbers game regarding getting more large printed. Took a Medium and I was in awe and in wee robbos shadow as he offered to find my name on the shirt. Which he did.He was a gentleman. One of Hearts all time greates and a true Hearts legend showing me my name on a Hearts top. Brilliant. Got home delighted with my top and then realised I should of got John to sign it. Still kicking myself for not getting John to autograph it.Away to go in to a paddied room. Put it down to being in awe. Thanks for your help Robbo.

Hi mate, I've got a large & it's to big,I'll happily swap if you want,obviously it's been worn to check the size. If your going to tomorrow's match or next Saturday,I'm sure we could meet up and swap. Just trying to help a fellow jambo in need,drop a pm if you want?

Son Of Anarchy Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 From what I can see & hear the majority are quite happy with the shirt design tbh, but the old adage applies about not being able to please all the people all the time too. [emoji4] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk I'd agree with that. Vast majority of mates all like it but as I've said, its what the tops about that's important to me. Can't wait for tomorrow's game.

Son Of Anarchy Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 For those who have their name on the back etc. Can I suggest you just frame the top as per usual, take a pic of your name and blow it up then put it beside the certificate.

BRAVEHEART1874 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 To be fair I like the design now I have it apart from the sleeves! unless you have biceps like Mike Tyson they are baggy but walkers strip in the pictures made the top look tight. ah well might just frame it got a nice silver picture frame somewhere probably 16" by 16" hope that works with the certificate.

It's disrespectful for our current regime to acknowledge people that decided to give to some sub culture of our club in preference to 10 year plus season ticket holders. 18 games this season is more than a fair amount of those on the strip.
