Mind you, a poor clip art type sponsors logo can ruin even the best looking kit. I would imagine the logo will be the same as it was in 08/09 when they won it and we wore the shirts in the European season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know who won the draw before I posted, but the last time Houston's won the logo was decent enough. As you say, I doubt it will have changed much, if any since then. Incidentally, do you know how many sponsors entered this time SD? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by their website, their company logo is different now ... assuming that was their company logo on the shirts and not something drawn up especially for them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sponsor was the same all that season, but it's not as if that season's kit is particularly resonant because of the two games against foreign opposition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think there was a special European kit, was there, other than there being some writing on the top? I might be wrong You dont think our first, and only, games in Europe are worthy of recognition? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The domestic kit was the better one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no special embroidery or anything on the UEFA one but it was a separate top and each player got to keep theirs after the Norsjaelland match, albeit a number of them threw them into the crowd that night. I have Andy Aitken's UEFA top which I won in the raffle at his Testimonial Dinner. Its framed up and signed by the squad that night.

This was the 21st season of the shirt draw and 165 is the 4th most entries. The previous two years were both in the 190's but the highest was in 2008 when the draw was in the run up to the Scottish Cup Final and over 200 entered. That of course being the previous time JB Houston won. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERSOUTH Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) Congratulations to Houston Butchers winning shirt draw for next season last night, this was the QOS home strip from 2008/09 season with JB Houston the sponsor.

I might be wrong You dont think our first, and only, games in Europe are worthy of recognition? As others have said, there was a different kit for the European tie, to follow the other unique ones for the semi final and final of the Scottish Cup. It must mean that over a four month spell the players wore five different home kits. Of course that European appearance is "worthy of recognition". I'm just not sure that coincidentally arriving back at the same sponsor, particularly provides it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PALMYLAD Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I was lucky to get Jamie McQuilkens number 15 shirt after the game . There was only 2 each of these tops made for our European adventure 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
