muldoon74 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 This shade of pink is like Pepto bismal, i.e. gross and far too flamboyant. A nice "perfectly cooked salmon shade" of pink.. with black shorts... lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannymack Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I like the pink kit, as said before it's very vibrant and stands out from the rest, the all white kit is outstanding, I love the nod towards the 1875 image of the team (that pose should be recreated) The only real success we can achieve this year is the Scottish Cup, Maroon, pink, white ribbons on the cup ??? It wouldn't matter one jot in my eyes what colour we wore, each kit colour would be unique on the day as winners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's beautiful. Hopefully we get to wear it for a Scottish Cup Final Win. I assume away kits are down the manufacturer's marketing department. What would they know, eh? Our best selling away strip ever proves they do know. I would also imagine that the club would be contracted to use it so many times. I also assume the club gets more say in the 3rd strip and is more akin to popular likes on here. I'm not itk and am educating guessing and also not a lover of pink strips. It does amuse when posters rip their knitting over it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benny Klack Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Don’t think I’ve ever had the energy to “hate” a kit we have played in. Some of the players that have played in those kits though ….. 🤭 Tbh I really like the Pink Kit and accept it’s commercially a winner but IF we get to the cup final (🙏) and there was no clash with the opposition - I’d love us to wear the anniversary one with the striped socks.

Benny Klack Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 You ever think of a player and just picture them mentally in one specific kit? For example - for me, it’s…. Henry Smith - luminous tiger print top John Colquhoun - 88 v neck home shirt Kenny Black - silver 85/86 away top Osman Sow - FOH away Colin Cameron - white cup final away top maybe just me 👀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smithian Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I like the Pink kit and the White kit a lot. The white kit is a throwback in the best way and the pink kit is a really fun and vibrant color. I see why a lot of people like one or the other, I think both are great. I assume that the third kit will be kept around next season as the second kit does its annual transition. The third kit deserves to be around all of 2024, and the white kit being taken care of means they could go with another bold second kit.

They are based in Holland as well, so as far as I am aware they ship the shirts away then back to the UK - so potentially import tax as well. They offer a framing service (which is pretty pricey) and with the shirt being framed it is never sneaking through the post without a beefy import tax on top.

I hope people look at the actual cost before bidding so they aren’t caught out The 20% VAT used to be included in the bid price and now it's not, probably because they now charge a further 10% "buyers premium" which is also subject to VAT. Thing is, they don't make any of this very clear. It used to be bid price (inc VAT) plus postage. Now it's bid price, plus 10%, plus VAT, plus postage.

It's even better beating teams in it because you know it will cause some ridiculous foaming at the mouth from supporters who associate the colour with a certain way of life. The third kit, however, should be priotisied this season above all. I wouldn't even mind us wearing it at home instead of the maroon kit. It has a special significance given the anniversary of the club, and it's an absolutely outstanding kit. We should be wearing it in as many games as possible. Where I'm at.

Debut 4 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 On 03/02/2024 at 21:05, queensferryjambo said: As boring as it sounds I have checked (apologies if I am wrong anywhere). We have worn the pink kit 3 times - Lost at Dundee Won at Livingston Won at Dundee The white third kit we have worn 4 times - Lost to Rosenborg. Won at Ross County. Won at Motherwell. Lost at Aberdeen. To be fair it isn't a bad record for either kit considering our away records for decades. Historicaly I don't think we won a game in our yellow Pony kit 96/97, I don't think we won a game in the Rosebery kit and had we not worn the FOH kit at Tynecastle a couple of times we wouldn't have registered a win in that. Did we win a game in the 2019 -21 black 3rd kit? The only kit I know we won 100% of our games in was the white Pony 3rd kit worn at Falkirk and Raith season 95/96. We only wore it 2 games.

AC Mallin_51 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Personally really like the pink kit and keeping the white as the 3rd kit makes it its own sort of thing. We’ll keep it for 2 years aswell, know it sounds daft but feel like having the same “away” for 2 years would seem strange nowadays where having the 3rd for 2 years seems to be the norm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
