I don't know when the Turnberry Homes deal was meant to run out. I assume we do but I don't know who it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're in the process of talking to all our sponsors, who need both assurance and encouragement. We might need to restructure some deals, too, in the light of changes and uncertainties brought on by the pandemic. As you'll appreciate, this is a tough time for many people, but everyone connected to the club is being as supportive as they possibly can. We are grateful to every one of them. Announcements as soon as we are able to do so. (As a general rider to that -- I absolutely understand that people are impatient for updates on many things. We really are giving those updates when it's possible, bearing in mind commercial and other factors. No one is sitting on information unnecessarily! Meantime, I'm coming here to tell you what I can, or to explain as much as I can.) 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumbo Muir Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I got this one. It's very good though it did take a couple of months to arrive. Mine arrived today. Excellent, really excellent replica of my favourite top ever. It is our proper colours of black and gold. No yellow pish masquerading as gold. I notice you have the black Umbro logo on the chest. As mine didn’t arrive with this on it, I’m thinking yours didn’t either. To complete the authentic look, did you buy a wee iron on Umbro logo ? If so, can you tell me where you got it please ? E bay only offering up red or white ones at a quick glance. First world problems eh ? Cheers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironiclly, it's lasted longer than the one I remember having one my '82 Scotland top which fell off after the first wash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s going to send me a wee iron on logo. He told me that he’d noticed some had previously arrived with the logo on the top and some not, including mine. Dunnottar don’t ask for a logo to be attached. He told me that although Dunnottar don’t specify having a logo, they will add logos if specifically requested. Excellent service. Ps, he said they will be adding more Sons tops to the site soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimistic Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Does anyone not feel bad for not buying the clubs tops, or is it a case of putting pressure on them to get back to the white, black and gold bands? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't feel bad. I give the club money whenever I can, if I see a shirt I like I'll buy it though. I may well buy our home top this year eventually. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I'm too old and, quite frankly, too fat to be going about in a football strip. The retro design one is my all time favourite Sons top though so fine for dossing about the house and garden. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve bought every top since 2012/13 except last seasons away one, I’ll likely get both from the coming season too, but I think the club should look into the retro shirt thing because it has potential to be a money maker, Raith done it for their Diadora cup winning kit and I’m fairly certain it went down very well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lokomotiv Dumbarton Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I think if the club were to get 3 or 4 designs made up, for example the original one with the band, the Umbro one, the Diadora one, or even just start off with one to test the waters it could do very well 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t feel bad. I bought the Dunnottar top for sentimental reasons. I don’t like what’s on offer from Joma. Yellow is not one of our club colours even though the club seems to think it is. However, I have pledged to buy a season ticket even though I’m only likely to use it a handful of times throughout the season. It’s my way of supporting the club in extraordinary times [emoji106] 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instantly recognisable as ours in the same way as Airdrie’s white shirt and red diamond is iconic and instantly recognisable. It is. Yet we have only worn a strip like that for about twenty of our near one hundred and fifty year existence 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverton End Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) I've posted about this sportswear company before. www.appinsports.com They are based in Edinburgh and do cycling jerseys, athletics gear & football etc. They supply a few Junior sides now, and can recreate any jersey design. The templates are on their website. No extra charges for Crests or additional logos. As an example if DFC ordered 200 jerseys they'd be £9 odd per jersey exc vat. If the likes of Dunnottar Retro can do this, no reason we can't & no need to go via China.

Nope. I've got a standing order for the manager's fund, paid a three figure sum into the crowdfunder on three occasions and won some memorabilia in the recent auction. I am going to buy the home top but not just yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
