Id like to see us move on to another brand tbh but whoever it is, hopefully it’s the right deal for the club. The Hummel kits are my all time favourite Falkirk kits. Would love us to go back to that kind of strip but I reckon we'll join the Joma gang like St Johnstone etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebobsboy Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Puma's last few efforts have been ganting. The only kind of decent kit they gave us was the detailing on the sleeves with kelpies etc. And I think there was a bit of input from the club on that. The rest have been just generic templates since, none more so than the white 3rd kit when some twat thought it would be a good idea to have blue as your home and away kit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairney The Dinosaur Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Yeah puma is tainted after the last few years. I don't mind who we get so long as it is a bespoke kit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might not like recent strips but you're basically blaming Puma for choices the club made. They get a range of templates to choose from and can customise those to a certain extent, or at least that used to be the case. ie the overall design is a template but they can choose the choose the colour of things like cuffs and collars. Or they can get a bespoke kit with details such as kelpies on the sleeves or the steeple zigzag across the chest that Hartleys team wore. Both of those were created when the lady from Sisters was in charge of strip selection. I think this years kit is bespoke too, though I might be wrong on that. Whereas the red away is definitely a standard Puma template. The obvious downside is that bespoke kits cost more so you either reduce the profit margin or put the prices up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its ingrained in our society sadly. Scotland's shame unfortunately. But had a wee look into the organisation, they do advocate for preventing discrimination of any kind even though their tagline is "Show racism the red card." They have a video on their Twitter where players of a few Scottish teams (including the OF) talk about stopping discrimination of race, sex, religion etc so that would include sectarianism. Seems a good organisation so great to see us working with them as well as Scottish football in general. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC1965 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 A little belatedly can I offer a large public thank you to @Bainsfordbairn for reuniting me with my framed FFC shirt when I sponsored a player for the 2020/21 season. Without his help it would still be sitting in a cupboard at the stadium. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Has anyone got numbers on the uptake on the FSS membership? Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proudtobeabairn Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Should put a choice of kit templates to the fans to choose. Nice fan engagement, generates a bit of chat and hopefully helps drive sales when they're released. Even better make it an FSS perk as part of membership. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would be a surefire commercial success as a team kit would be one as plain as possible. The club has tried materials of various patterns over the seasons with the majority being forgettable. Blue Tops White Shorts, change strip White Tops Blue Shorts with a mix of various coloured socks. Mix and match between the two job done. It would break from the norm and therefore not being one of the crowd the better the chance for replica sales which is the driving force behind changing strips every season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by that logic buying the kit would become a one off purchase with no need for the annual purchase as the kit would have minimal if any changes. Hardly an attractive option for the commercial team. Much as my own preference is for a traditional kit I am not the target audience for shirt sales and as I said annual changes are a necessary evil to maximise income. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
