PhoenixHearts Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Got a feeling it'll either be today or tomorrow. End of the month and all that, tomorrow likely payday for a lot of folks. As stated earlier in the thread, the design will have been signed off on ages ago and the club are just trying to space out the 3 kit launches far apart enough to get maximum spending from the support. I think when clubs release 3 kits or even 2 kits at once it almost forces the supporters to choose one or the other as opposed to sinking £150+ in one go. It's been a monthe and I feel like I've finally recovered financially well enough now from my Home kit short sleeve/long sleeve splurge.. bring on the away. Maybe it's cutting it fine at the very end of July/August but I reckon it's a calculated risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A silver/grey marl effect on a white shirt, with maroon and navy flashes for us would be great. Not sure how the white monochrome badge fits onto that though.

Was there not a rumour kicking about a while ago that our away kit would be white with maroon and navy? Reading the tea leaves I'd guess we might end up with something like Bournemouth or Werder Bremen with the two tone cuffs. Not the most exciting but I reckon with our colours it could work. Would prefer the Bournemouth collar out of the two. A bit different. I'd also guess that if it were a monochrome badge it'll be maroon on white, a reverse of the "away shorts" we've seen in the cup games. Personally I'm hoping for a white shirt with maroon pinstripes and a v-neck trim. Edited July 29, 2021 by PhoenixHearts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they are, that's the sort of petty banter that makes football great. Seems unlikely though, why would they care about a handful of bites from some people north of the border? Although... surely they have better players than those 2 to model them. Also, I actually rather like that kit...!

jamboinglasgow Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 first thought was that was not an away top, but looking at it more I like it.

Cruickie's Moustache Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Not overly imaginative in terms of the design. Agree we need to drop the light blue nonsense. Time to go back to a white 2nd strip with some form of maroon flashes, edging etc, maroon shorts and white socks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
