It's particularly obvious in the EFL for teams that wear Puma, they are all wearing the same shirt but in different colours. White Label aren't for everyone but at least we get to create bespoke kits - even if we had Joma (or Macron) we'd probably only get to bespoke design the home kit, with the away and third being differently coloured versions of Swansea's away kit from the season before. They aren't though. Feel free to try find another Umbro kit from last season with diamond insignia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually picked up the Umbro teamwear hoops. Quite like it so a bargain in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 And another thing - the hoops on the sleeves angling down visually annoys me. Why not just have the hoops like the above?

That must have been one of those proud moments that I can't remember. Happy that I did, Groomed-arse Anyway, that's no more or less than telling you to go and play tig on the motorway, or take a long walk off a short pier. What you said was a lot different. I bet you haven't got the balls to say that to them either. *insert signature here* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course, it's not like that on the graphics Smiths are using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ton in Shawlands Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Probably buy the first team shirt, the other one is too much of a 1990's Dumbarton shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TONofmemories Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Let's be honest, we'd be pissed as hell if we went for an off the shelf brand make and slapped a Morton badge on to it which is in all likelihood what we'd do. I've no issue with the quality of the last few strips to be honest. They've washed and lasted well. I'd rather pay the £40-45 quid on something bespoke than an off the shelf brand with our bade put on at the same price. TIME FOR CHANGE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience club's with bigger brand kits are dealing with an intermediary with access to a limited design template or catalogue, but as you've both shown that seems to be changing and the intermediaries are getting better/smarter. Andy Barrowman is the Joma rep for Scotland and has approached the club (Hawke) before but didn't get anywhere apparently, i'm sure the club get approached all the time by reps from various suppliers though.

It's absolutely 100% true with kids, and probably a decent portion of adults too. You're speaking like someone who never took an absolute roasting when he turned up to school in Lonsdale trainers.

You're speaking like someone who never took an absolute roasting when he turned up to school in Lonsdale trainers. Didn't we run with some shan, Nike catalogue efforts about ten years ago (as well as Puma for definite)? Based on CEO Ironman's figures our strip sales were still piss-poor. The sweet spot is a combination of irrational appeal to daft weans and something with genuine thought and credible design behind it. Perhaps if MCT ever get their hands on the books then we can make an informed judgment, but I'd be surprised if we weren't doing a decent turn in terms of jerseys sold as it is. 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...

Toby Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 I don’t feel it’s right that Andy Barrowman’s name gets mentioned on here without anyone pointing out that he was involved in the greatest swap deal in the history of football. Carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
