The Bewilderedbeast Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 I'll pick up the home top, although I always think that folk of a certain (ie, me) age should have given up wearing actual football tops a LONG time ago. The fact that it does look like a polo shirt and there is no sponsor on it, are pluses for me, but that's probably an age thing.🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waverley Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 As of a few minutes ago, they were not on the Smith's website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per Twitter and the official site, they're avaialble for pre-order at 9am on Tuesday. Per the official site, COVID-related supply chain issues mean there is no actual release date yet but it's expected to be the second half of August. That's a fair bit later than I would have hoped but I do accept that this is a risk of working with a smaller supplier and one that is worth taking.

The Bewilderedbeast Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Was just reading through some of the comments again, it's like a script from the Great British Sewing Bee. 🤣🤣🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people care about the quality of things they are looking at buying. It's not in any way unreasonable to look at cut, fit, material quality etc. Certainly the club would have concerned themselves with these things.

port-ton Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 What's the deal with merchandising anyway? Are smiths still in control and pay us a fee? Always felt that was a shitey deal made by the club due to not wanting to take any commercial responsibility for anything. Good people will do good things, bad people will do bad things, but only with religion do good people do bad things!  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree, but given that no one has actually clapped eyes on the finished item yet some of the comments are a wee bit premature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 First impression of the home top is good, can take or leave the other one myself. S Shades of the 'limited edition' anniversary top they pulled out for the 140th(?) year, and smarter* for the lack of sponsor.         * By polyester-clad standards 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. You can all feel happy at how 'clever' you are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RealTonKid Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 They look decent enough. If I was younger, I’d buy the pair of them, but I’m too old now to be cutting about in a football shirt. I’ll probably pick up the home one to add to the collection, price permitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just reading the official site and seen this. Second half of August?! I get that small companies will have supply issues but ffs. I'll have forgotten about them by then.  Peter Weatherson is the greatest player since Ritchie, and should be assigned 'chairman for life' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrshireTon Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Does this mean that the yellow away kit from last season is being retained as our away kit? 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.

No. Apparently the shite navy kit is, but with the sponsor changed to McGills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capitanus Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Am I missing something? When did the Bus Wankers become our kit sponsors? I'd sooner shit on my hand and then clap than wear something with their name on the front of it. SACK THE BOARD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
