DETTY29 Posted July 15, 2021 Posted July 15, 2021 This is the type of forward thinking that the SFA or SPFL would never promote which in turn denies millions in TV revenue. Quote
Longbaws Posted July 15, 2021 Author Posted July 15, 2021 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
Rick Sanchez Posted July 15, 2021 Posted July 15, 2021 Wholeheartedly agree. UEFA to follow suit please. Quote
gjcc Posted July 15, 2021 Posted July 15, 2021 More likely to ban maroon for clashing with the tattie field pitches here. Quote

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted July 15, 2021 Posted July 15, 2021 I like beating green and white shite though Quote
Penrices left boot Posted July 15, 2021 Posted July 15, 2021 (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, 2021 by Smith's right boot Quote

Zico Posted July 15, 2021 Posted July 15, 2021 What a great country. More likely to paint one half of all pitches blue here. Quote
martoon Posted July 15, 2021 Posted July 15, 2021 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

Stu_HMFC Posted July 15, 2021 Posted July 15, 2021 Can’t remember the member on the kickback who had a go at me because I never liked green! He got very defensive over green and wrattled off the green football rugby and nfl tops he had 😂 will be spewing at this news 😂😂 The sad thing to come out of it was he was a growing man with that amount of Football tops Quote

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 😆. Hope this years effort is more appealing. Quote

Longbaws Posted July 15, 2021 Author Posted July 15, 2021 It's hard on them but if UEFA brought out a rule saying the same I'd have to support it. Fairness n that. Medicine n that. Quote
Largo Posted July 15, 2021 Posted July 15, 2021 Think it will mostly involve goalkeeper tops . Nice to see Billy Gilmours mum now on board a Serie A Quote

This is just cynical as feck, tail wagging the dog type shite. Long held traditions of football right down to how teams have to look are now being decided by the TV companies? Not at all for it.

I'm a collector. I trade and sell them. I've got hundreds of kits and jerseys from all sorts of sports leagues all over the world. And yes, some are green. Go Eagles. Quote

Shows how out of touch you are. Nothing wrong with pitch at Tynecastle last season. Guess it depends on how the 'our' refers to in your post. Perhaps Hibs. Quote

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. 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

Sawdust Caesar Posted July 16, 2021 Posted July 16, 2021 About 30/40 years ago Football Focus had a segment about Plymouth Argyle (I think) and their green strip causing problems due to it blending in with the grass on the pitch and iirc the FA wanted to ban the strip. They finished the piece by mentioning that only 2 other teams in Britain have green in their strip, Celtic and Hibs, but because they also have white in the strip it meets the requirements for it not to be banned. As much as it would be great for the laughs I can't see them having to change their colours. Quote
Sigma One Posted July 16, 2021 Posted July 16, 2021 This is forward thinking stuff, but surely TV companies could (not should) use a filter on the grass or strip to change the colour? 🤣🤣 Quote
