A blue tartan hooped effort would be just dandy! There’s actually been some really smart Joma kits recently (their Villarreal centenary strip is an absolute beauty and would make a great Morton away one), so I’m more optimistic about what they might offer than I was to begin…but even at that, I agree, you just can’t whack the glorious invention of the Matchwinner era (unless we get Umbro involved, which should also definitely happen at some point). Football strips are so often really bland and boring these days, even things that ostensibly have an unusual design still end up looking flat and lifeless with the way it’s just printed on; I’d love to see us have a few 90’s style numbers with the level of detail in the material etc you got with those. Bring back chevrons and tiger stripes and weird green and white and black striped creations, I say. Also, it’s just occurred to me that of all the great Matchwinner strips, there wasn’t really any hooped ones. Not a complaint at all, the opposite really: if you deviate from the traditional style and nobody really notices, you’re doing something right.

TAFKAC Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 9 hours ago, GiGi said: That's the worst of the bunch. Agreed. The only one of the five I never bought. I liked the light blue away top from 89-91 and the yellow top with the blue diagonal line that I think was 91-92 away top. "I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig.

Jamie_M Posted April 18 Author Share Posted April 18 (edited) Think the 89-91 is bland. Wouldn't buy that one. The light blue one was better. Someone was selling a bunch of both earlier in the season. The 93-94 is the missing one. Edited April 18 by Jamie_M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hej Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Colours look way off on blue tartan one Both the 1st and 3rd ones are honking btw. I'll lose the plot if either of them are picked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll lose the plot if either of them are picked. They are well aware that the initial graphic is wrong for the blue tartan (wrong buttons also). They have said it will be sorted if chosen. Think it will lose votes based on the graphic though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many of the cries about the ill-fated Ajax design were 'it huz tae be hoops' probably still resonating even though that was the least of the problems with the scrapped top.

Ton in Shawlands Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 The 'Ajax' thing was a crap pound shop embarrassment. My favourites from these are the red tartan & for some reason the yellow one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was, made even more pound shop by the additions Morton made to the template with the ironed on badge and Half Pounders sponsor. Having said that - if they had released the revised version (that entered the kit vote) with stitched badge and changed sponsor right from the start, whilst still poor it might have just about sneaked past without the backlash. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely that revised version looks much better and the white shorts Make a difference too.

AyrshireTon Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Digital programme. 1 McGhee needs some support, there's no-one backing him up. Hayes playing it forward, Bell being forced to do it all alone, now forward from Marr, here's Ritchie, still Andy Ritchie, look at the control... That is a marvellous goal from Andy Ritchie. Twenty minutes on the clock and Morton's supporters come alive. A goal which epitomises the control, the arrogance, the cheek of Andy Ritchie.

TRVMP Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Actually quite good, this. The Message from the Board is hard to read but the rest of the content is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunning1874 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 This is good to see. A couple of negative points are the background on the board update making it difficult to read and the league table being a game out of date, but overall this is a positive development. Having an MCT update in there is a good touch and hopefully is a way for them to keep up regular contact with fans who aren't members and could be convinced to join.
