WagonWheel Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 It's not bad, but I'd hoped for better from the leaked images / photoshop efforts. If the blue panel had been a tad narrower perhaps. As a full kit, I think it would've looked better with white shorts, but I know they need to market two different colours of shorts and not have the same ones for home and away. (Perhaps the team will actually play in all white.) Would give it 7/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destruction Derby Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Just been to the shop in St James centre and i have pre-ordered it, was not sure with the pictures but its alot better when you see it, they have the kids strip and the long-sleeve top in the window, got to say the quality of the tops is probably the best we have ever had........... that i can remember. They also have a pretty neat looking tracksuit aswell which i assume will be getting released about the same time as the tops. :107years: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun.lawson Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Come on now - at least it's a million times better than that minging canary yellow effort that the other lot across the city have chosen! Jeez, every time I see that ad on the side of the buses, it makes me want to spew! Er, excuse me! Shall we tell 'em (Shall we tell 'em) Who we are? (Who we are?)

Guest jackdaddy2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I won't be buying it, the wee man might get it, but for me it looks like a ?9.99 random Umbro training top. Would look nice on a bird on ma bed, but not for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everybody loves Baz Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Surely would be better having some fat git modelling it so we can see what it will look like on one of us.

Nelly Terraces Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I'm not one for buying replica strips, in fact I've NEVER bought one, or worn one for anything other than playing 5s, but was in picking up my season ticket at the TO earlier today and it's on display there. It look a hell of a lot better in the flesh so to speak than it does in the photos. It's genuinely quite smart, and as DD said in post #102 the quality looks very good as well. Lets face it, compare it to the hobo's mingin effort, and it's no contest really. One to buy at end of season for ?15 to strut my stuff in at world of football methinks.

Sharpie Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Read the article in the Evening News, the concept seemed good but, and its only pictures, but the strip looks more black than navy blue. Again personal opinion but the left side seems a bit over balanced with the logo and sponsor all there. Otherwise for an away strip its not too bad.

Taffin Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 It's garbage. As expected with a navy blue colour:S. It's not the colour of the national teams top so doesn't really bide with the whole scottish identity crap they are trying to flog us off with. Let's hope the home effort isn't just a mirror of it.

heartyharry Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 So..about that job Mr.Gates. yes thats fine with the celtic top as its all white letters but with our top it would have to be white and black letters what if a black letter ran into the blue on the top u would never make out the name sorry but no job back to school im affraid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hughesie27 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 That isn't the point though. You could fit all the letters in the blue panel if you used the celtic away top sized letters. His name is the longest in Europe and they managed to fit it into a small space. If it was that much of a problem witht he likes of mikolinoaus(sp)?? Then he couls just have ''Miko''.

Although I think the strip would look smart with the maroon instead of the blue i doubt it would be possible. IMO there would be too much white on both strips and cause problems playing St Mirren and Killie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dr Venkman Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Nice design. Nice quality. Nice kit maker. Shame it's not Hearts colours. This is the kind of thing that the pieman would peddle....maroon doesn't sell, blue does etc We wear our away kit when we play Aberdeen (this new kit would be ok) and against Rangers and Falkirk who both play in blue (this kit wouldn't be ok). It'll sell but it isn't practical in any way. I sense a third kit in the offing.... Black would even have been better and probably more appropriate for the coming season. Having said that, i quite like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
