Stevie Aitken's Love Child Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 While on commercial stuff, did anyone order the 97-99 retro away kit from that retro kit page on twitter? I only ask because it seems to have gone awful quiet on their twitter page, and see they're no longer showing as a sponsor of this site. I wanted to try and order the 80s retro top they brought out and asked on twitter but there's been no reply. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually got a dispatch notification for the 97-99 top about midnight last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every single item has been produced with the dot missing after the C in the FC on the crest. I pointed it out to the woman working there who I can only say looked stunned. 5 hours ago, Cet Homme Charmant said: Just did a check to see exactly what the rules are in punctuating abbreviations in academic papers, and it specifically says....

Is this a Dull Men's Club parody thread now? 3 The site is supposed to be a place for the extended 'family' of Morton supporters - having an affinity with people that you don't know, because you share a love of your local football club. It's not supposed to be about point scoring and showing how 'clever' or 'funny' you are, or just being downright rude and offensive to people you don't know, because you can get away with it. Unfortunately, it seems the classic case of people who have little standing/presence in real life, use this forum as a way of making themselves feel as if they are something. It's sad, and I've said that before.. So, having been on Morton forums for about 15 years I guess, I've had enough... well done t*ssers, another Morton supporter driven away.

Having F.C on a jersey is absolute shit, the kind of thing a pub team would spot before hitting the print button. It's basic standards, something we have generally been getting better at as a club, but not in this case. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiGi Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 I don't see the fuss for a change. Also picked up a big bag of blue and gold merch, club's done really well here IMO.

It could be argued the club should have audited it, but have acted in good faith and are now facing fans’ criticism as a result of someone else’s failings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Von Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Was in for a look at the anniversary stuff today, about half of it pretty shit, and as per the embroidery of the badge on the t shirts etc is terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely somebody at the club must have checked it, and given it the OK. It was the first thing I noticed about it. If the learning at the club is that more diligence is required when when approving any branding or merchandising related to the club, then that perfectly fine. That was the main reason for highlighting it in the first place. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
port-ton Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 My general rule of thumb is that if its something the old Hamilton Accies board would do then it's something that's not acceptable.

I noticed it immediately. Haven't slept for three days. Fucking traumatised. On the upside though - I wonder if these 'rookie grammatical mistake' shirts etc. will become Antiques Roadshow megabucks collectors items, just like the priceless stamps with the image printed upside-down, or the super-rare coins with the Queen's head stamped back to front? I think we should all be encouraged to buy these highly prized collectors items as a solid investment.

As opposed to distributing an entirely wrong flag of origin as part of a 'celebration day' of some mercenary, which was in no way dodgy or indeed plain gubbins. 1 1 The site is supposed to be a place for the extended 'family' of Morton supporters - having an affinity with people that you don't know, because you share a love of your local football club.
