Charlie-Brown Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 We should give the black socks with maroon & white turnovers another go - I quite like the look of the inter-war year strips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm Tucker Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I find it funny how certain tops remind you of certain players! 95-97 one mentioned above reminds me of John Millar. 97-98 reminds me of Thomas Flogel. 00-01 makes me think of Colin Cameron. 02-04 reminds me of De Vries. 04-05 is Joe Hamill! And that horrific 06-07 one reminds me of Takis! Anyone else think of players when they see tops or just me?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janie jones Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Must have been a pain geting the grass stains out the white trousers in the early days! Also struck me that this is the first time in our history we haven't had white home shorts. Don't like the all maroon kit, its not right IMO.

The 'De Vries' top will always hold special memories considering my son Callum Conor Mark was born at 5 minutes to 3 on 11.08.02. 2 hours old and he'd already lived through a 5-1 drubbing of the methadone boys. My missus heard a wee girl at school this week telling him she supported Arsenal and Spurs (!!!) and he replied that his dad says he has to be a Jambo!

Buffalo Bill Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 They've got 1991/92 wrong. It had the 'Hearts badges' in a different shade running through the material, like 92/93. Buffalo Bill . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bill Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I find it funny how certain tops remind you of certain players! 95-97 one mentioned above reminds me of John Millar. Anyone else think of players when they see tops or just me?! Millar only played 22 games in 1995/96 before heading off the Raith as part of the Colin Cameron deal. I would much more associate him with 1991/92 where he played 49 games; or season 94/95 when he scored nine goals (2nd only to Robbo). But then you got me thinking. What players do I associate with certain strips or seasons? Starting from around the time of Millar, I see mostly players who were there for that season, or for more or less a short time. The Robbos and Mackays, the Pressleys are ALWAYS a constant so I don't include them. 91/92 - John Millar, Graeme Hogg, Ian Baird. 92/93 - Alley Mauchlen, Peter van der Ven. 93/94 - Mo Johnston, Justn Fashinu 94/95 - Willie Jamieson, Colin Miller, Craig Nelson, David Hagen 95/96 - Allan Johnston, Gary Locke, Pasquale Bruno, Alan Lawrence, Rousett 96/97 - Neil McCann, Colin Cameron, David Weir 97/98 - Stevie Fulton on form, Stephane Adam, Thomas Flogel, Quitongo 98/99 - Vincent Gurein, Darren Jackson, Gary McSwegan 99/00 - Robert Thomashek, Annti Niemi, Gary Wales, Fitzroy Simpson 00/01 - Kevin McKenna, Gordon Durie, Juanjo, Robbie Neilson 01/02 - Ricadro Fuller, Tommi Gronlund, Stephen Simmons 02/03 - MDV, JLV, Andy Kirk, Scott Severin, Phil Stamp 03/04 - Dennis Wyness, Patrick Kisnorbo, Craig Gordon 04/05 - Paul Hartley, Miko, Chesney, Lee Miller, Mark Burchill 05/06 - Skacel, Bednar, Janny, Brellier, Pospisil, Fyssas 06/07 - Zali, Velicka, Karipidis 07/08 - Stewart, Audrey, Kingston, Nade Buffalo Bill .

Buffalo Bill Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 There's been a huge difference in colour down the years. The low point was the 'red' Bukta effort from 90/91 (and you could throw in a matching shell suit in those days). Even the 'Thorn Security/Novaphone' strips were pretting light in colour. Then when Admiral came on to the scene, it went a sort of purple colour, or at least it seemed that way whenever it was a midweek match! 2000/01 went a bit too light, but I really liked the design of that strip (with the round collar), although you needed a six-pack to wear one at 5-asides. The first Reebok strip was much more 'maroon', but I didn't like the navy trim, and I hate it when they mess with simple maroon and white, like they did last season with that horrible gold trim. One of the worst strips has to be the baggy 'Olympic' effort from 98/99 with the naff 90s collar and strippy hip. I think the company went bust soon after. They did however do a nice away kit in 99/00. My favourite of late is this season's strip. Nice design, simple and dark marron. Pity about the maroon shorts. Best of all time is 77 to 82. Just a pity we were gash back then. ...and of course, the 'silver' 83-86 away top. Buffalo Bill . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Bill . I really like this seasons strip as well. I'm a big fan of the maroon shorts as well for some reason. I liked the 05/06 Hummel effort as well. Last season and the season befores Umbro efforts were very poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My age plays a big part in the whole John Millar scenario though, that's the thing. I only started going to games as a 5 year old in the 95/96 season, and to be honest from my extremely hazy memory I remember Millar, and Alan Lawrence! However I do still insist on wearing an away top from 92/93.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Bill Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 My favourite for the maroon colour is the 86/87 top. Naff collar though I loved that strip; very dark maroon. And the all white away kit is great too. In fact there's a nice clip of Wayne Foster (in the Back from the Brink video) getting it right up Jim Leighton with the 86/87 away kit. Buffalo Bill .

I'm not sure mate, although I remember Dundee Utd had the same sort of strip at the same time. Olympic were based at the Whitefield Industrial Estate in Bathgate. I know this because I once found myself in there (because of work). The place was a right midden. Buffalo Bill . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 It was definitely Olympic Sports because Erra still make Middlesborough strips. And Inverness Caley Thistle maybe?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
