as it says personally id go with thistle(the no sponsor bit swings it)...





im bored

Without logo, I like Particks top. With logo, I don't mind any team with basic colour and sponsors name in Arial font.

Dunfermline's looks good, despite it being black and white stripes, and with it being puma will probably be good quality.

DAFC by a country mile

Dunfermline.

Clyde.

Partick.

Who the hell voted Airdrie? Own up!

...and Saints Surridge tops are god awful!

Cant believe people are voting for particks its truly disgusting, dundee top looks like a poor Sunday league teams but i do like mortons.

I like our strip. One of few instantly recognisable shirt designs.

Recognisable doesn't always mean good. I have the most recognisable face in my bedroom right now, doesn't mean it looks any good.

Although in recent years ive always thought that the Partick one looks god awful this years one looks smart and I would say that with our one i think it is one of the best.

Ross County's new adidas home kit by a country mile, much better than ours anyway...

I think the County strip looks like training gear. I'm happy with ours, but Dunfermline's is nice, too. The Puma gear is quality.

I'm an old school kind of guy and srtipes and hoops do it for me. For me, they are the strips you always remember.

So it's a toss up between Dunfermline and Thistle. I don't like the fact that Puma took the cheap option and didn't continue the hoops round the back of Thistle's top. From the back, Thistle's strip could be mistaken for, dare I say it, Livingston's!

Dunfermline edge it.

Please, please, don't start an away strip equivalent here.  Please.  Every women in the world will be on voting for you-know-what.   Cringe.    I'd go for Clyde's away jersey. Red and black. It has a certain something ...    Buit to get back to the point, Morton's tartan jersey from a while back has to be the all-time winner ... ?   

The quality of Clyde's tops - home and away - is terrible. We have the most talked about away kit in Scotland, sales are up 400%, stockists in England are ordering batches and we've never lost while wearing it.

See me, see happy.

Never lost?   How many times have we worn it?   Twice?   Jaysus ...

If only Clyde had come up with that concept first. Oh...

And? It doesn't negate the fact we're unbeaten while wearing it. I see you've chosen to ignore the rest of the positives.

If the sales of that away top help us to attract players by paying them better wages to the extent that it'll get us back into the SPL, then I'll take it all back.    Every single word of it ...

The reason we can't have stripes around the back is for UEFA regulations. They require kits to have the number clearly visible at the back, which also explains Benfica's lack of stripes at the back.

Forward thinking and all that

Maybe we currently have a playing pool that's good enough to take us there. I doubt we'll be relying on the sales of the away top for that.

I really don't see the problem. The colours used in away kits are completely arbitrary. However, we and Greaves have knocked our heads together and decided to go for something that will maximise sales, if not exceed what we could have ever hoped for, while generating welcome positive media coverage.

Everyone's a winner.

Except for the homophobes.

I agree that the Puma gear looks good. Wish we'd get a decent kit manufacturer. Xara's been our best in recent years. I like the Thistle top, but it's ruined slightly by the all yellow back.

Dublinjag better pack the sick bag ahead of the Rangers tie, the number of 'Jags fans for 40 years' who I've spotted wearing the new away top is nothing short of astounding.

The main reason it's selling well, especially to women, is because there's no logo on it. Accidental coincidence.  It's made it a fashion item.    Like a lot of retail successes, it came about by pure chance ... 

I'd like to see you tell Sandy Greaves that. This has nothing to do with chance and everything to do with retail experience.

The success of the kit may have come as something of a slight surprise, but the guys at Greaves knew exactly what they were doing when they advised the club on the colour scheme.

My daughter loves it.  I'll buy her one for her 12th birthday later this month ... before the sponsor's logo gets slapped onto it ... 

Not had a chance to check out other teams kits (apart from particks pink number), but I really like our adidas top. I bought it online as soon as I could afford it!

Hysterical

Oh and Benfica don't have stripes on the front either

I though Puma was responsible for design/colour?   And Spurs tried to get it but Puma stuck with Thistle, even altho' we're a much smaller club, because we were in just ahead of them?   It's made in Turkey, by the way, where they still cut a peasant's hand off if he's convicted of stealing for a third time  ...  And who knows, some of those unfortunate amputees might work in the Puma factory there?

I think your talking about last years strips from Lotto.
The quality in the new Surridge strips both home and away is excellent.

Sales up 400%, aye right mate.......surely there aren't that many poofs in Maryhill...but then again

You have a cheek to talk about anyones strips, your home strip, and the colours of it are puke inducing, even Tony the Tiger looks a fanny in it....maybe thats why I hate Frosties as well, and we won't even go near the away one, other than to say that........SUITS YOU SIR, SUITS YOU.

Partick's strip is clearly ahead in the poll. Why ? It's a shocker !! It should come with a built in volume button. I suppose at least their players shouldn't have an excuse to misplace passes to their team -mates. There's no accounting for taste............................that's why I support Clyde I suppose

I think our strip is fine but let down by the sponsors logo, same with Airdrie & Dundee

Who am I thinking of then? They wore a top with stripes only at the front and one of the colours was green?

It could have been an away top, but can't honestly remember, though they were definitely a Champions League Team.

Stripes or hoops?

Sporting Lisbon in Champion's League or the UEFA Cup? Their shirt is blocked at the back in green with a few hoops at the bottom.

Aye I meant hoops.

That's who it was

Breathtaking.

I can't wait to read your next contribution.

Does anyone know this ignorant cocksucker?

No, but i want to. If ever im getting my cock sucked i want it to be done ignorantly!

You do know they are not Sporting Lisbon? Thats like saying Glasgow Rangers or London Chelsea

Sporting Club of Portugal

Ross Countys is by far the coolest strip in the division. I like addidas strips. How does that happen anyway? County & Dunfermline have addidas, Queens had Nike and Thistle Puma, yet we always get stuck with pishy makes like Surridge, Matchwinner etc. Even when we had Lotto the quality was pish. Surely a decent make of strip with a decent design is gonnae result in more sales?

I think Thistles home top is probably about the best I have seen from them, theres no really much you can do with a red & yellow strip to make it look decent but the lack of sponsor and the fact the back is all the one colour makes it almost acceptable. Almost.

The most talked about away kit in Scotland???! Now that's a claim...!

Sales up 400%? From what base? Has this increase cannibalised sales of the home top? What is the total benefit to the club?

PR is a wonderful thing...

Name an away top in Scotland that has received more publicity. I can't think of any. It's probably received more column inches than any away top since Rangers' Orange number.

I was thinking about this the other day. I think the clubs must have the option of going with any shirt supplier and make a decision based on a number of factors.

Nike / Adidas / Puma etc would be more than happy for every club to be wearing their strips as it would improve perception of their brand by thousands/millions of football fans and their brands would be synonymous with the sport. However, key questions for the clubs would be:

- What is the profit margin on every shirt? i.e. how much can the club bank from every shirt sold? (I assume this would vary by manufacturer based on the cost per strip, with the well-known brands offering less profit per strip - based on retail price being set at £40 regardless of manufacturer and established brand name strips costing more for the club to buy)
- If we get an established brand name e.g. Nike / Puma / Adidas, what additional sales would be generated? (assuming more people would buy the strips/merchandise with a 'higher quality' brand)
- Does this increase in sales offset the lower profit per item?
- I also assume other contributing factors e.g. What additional support are the club being offered from the supplier? (I would think the terms and benefits would be somewhat different for a major club e.g. the OF, versus that of a lower league side.) Are the strips used by the club free? Will they offer discounts for certain quantities purchased etc etc...

Tell me what this publicity has achieved.

A sales increase of 400%.
