DETTY29 Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 This is the type of forward thinking that the SFA or SPFL would never promote which in turn denies millions in TV revenue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Longbaws Posted July 15 Author Share Posted July 15 Maybe Celtic could incorporate a diagonal orange strip across their top. To make them easier to see of course! Hibs could change to an all brown top. Shite doesn't show on a brown jersey. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Smith's right boot Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 (edited) It would be funny but sadly this is further proof of TV's Control over the game. Water breaks sponsored by coke are next along with an extended half time break so they can put in a concert or something. Never has a player mistaken another player in a green strip as part of the grass. Funny as **** if it was rolled out tho. Edited July 15 by Smith's right boot Quote Link to post Share on other sites

martoon Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Had a wee look over on dotnut and, whilst there's no panic or over reaction, there is concern. I think there is a fair chance it could be rolled out but probably only as far as international and European games. Can't see it being applied in the domestic game here because of Celtic. Imagine the fuss the repressed victims would make if not allowed to wear their national colour. A few dotnuts suggesting purple for Hibs if they couldn't wear green anymore. What is their fascination for a colour that, for me, is way too close to that of their rivals? It would be like us changing to Turquoise. Or perhaps having a very light blue/white sleeved away kit that looks like a washed out 1970's Hibs top. 🤪 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They wore Maroon underneath the first time but wore white after that. I’ve just bought the Orange polo neck and the matching training top, the wife reckons I’m colour blind so I can’t be trusted 😆.

To this day I still don't understand how Stevenson ended up with a retrospective ban but McJake didn't. I think even Collum signals to him at the time that the pair of them went in hard. And TBF to Stevenson, given McScumbag was wearing green, he might not even have seen him as he approached the ball. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There we have it folks. Banning these vile...sorry unsafe, green jerseys will save careers and lives. From a health and safety perspective they must be outlawed. Surely once that happens every green league title/cup win, since the invention of colour TV, is null and void. Can't have teams playing in illegal jerseys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
