TxRover Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Just an outside view, but the 2013-14, four yellow/gold and five black, black shorts and socks seems the best to my eyes.. The tartan is a nice change-up, but should be changed to an alternate home or an away design. Alternately, number 1, with a white field and a thinner black and gold checker might look OK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How nice would a white shirt with a quarter of black and gold checks look! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the fact of the matter is it has mostly been stripes!!! If they brought a retro top out like that 1973/4 number i reckon you would have a top seller on your hands 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammytroot Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 And then there were 2 - Gradient v Tartan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest_Fifer Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Tartan it is then. If it had been the checks or the stripes, I may have gone for that, but the gradient one is just boring.I guess that both would have a plain gold back? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life on Marrs? Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Gradient v Tartan. The worst 2, in my opinion, but the tartan would be pretty unique & something different. The checks in white, with gold/yellow squares and black shorts, white socks wouldn't be a bad change kit. Shirts and socks could be interchanged with the home when required. Hope there's no issue with tartan needing to be registered with some lord lyon type rule pish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cambuslang Fifer Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 out of those two kits - still prefer the tartan kit than gradient. Btw only ten leagues games left (if anyone's noticed) hopefully we are still higher than 5th place and Falkirk win the league and we have airdrieO and the Lino's in the POs, fingers crossed people. Another victory in Angus this weekend with Mo's losing to AirdrieO would be sweet as music to ears....!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life on Marrs? Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 If we finish 4th, we wouldn't have airdrieO, or the linos in the play offs, we'd have 9th place in the championship. Agree wi the rest of it though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fifer Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Finishing 4th is still an absolutely huge task, too much discussion the past few weeks of it seeming a certainty. It's far from it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fifer Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Just seen a photo of the old power station on the lost buildings/structures thread, includes Bayview from whenever it was, is it just me or did we seem to have loads more advertising boards round the stadium back then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life on Marrs? Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Does seem to be the case, was that not a legacy from the Derrick Brown era, when no one wanted anything to do with the club? Probably find like everything else these days, all lower league clubs advertising will have fallen over the last 20years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'd imagine so, hopefully the club can continue to make the cash particularly with the growing online presence and EFTV. Your comment inspired me to have a quick google about Brown as I was only about 13 at the time and wasn't entirely aware of all that went on, but I remember the fans out on the mound. Dark times indeed. Though I'm fairly sure our current chairman arrived at the same time as Mr Brown many moons ago, that could of course be nonsense! https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/east-fife-hire-manager-convicted-of-assault-1-489531 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life on Marrs? Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Iirc he was seen as a puppet, controlling the shares of the disgraced Julian Danskin, but others might be better informed. There was a protest called Doon wi Broon, where fans pushed a wheelbarrow through the high street to Bayview, dark days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life on Marrs? Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Have to admit, I like when you visit other grounds at this level & see the advertising hoardings still showing the local Butcher, Baker & Haulage firm. Refreshing from the sell out multi-national companies you see in the EPL. Stenhousemuir had a good video on thier website at the start of the season, to launch a new away strip, they went round local businesses, presumably who sponsor the team. Maybe we could do more with our site & Eftv. The more the club is seen as a force for the good & promoting the community might not be a bad thing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kebab Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 Congrats to Big Tonks who is in this weeks SPFL Team of the Week!!!Another deserved entry, he has really come onto a game over the last few weeks, obviously got his wee pal Waldo back and is totally over his injury that was hampering him around mid-season!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirscottyoung Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Everyone can do their bit with the advertising etc. If you know your work does sponsorships and advertises tell them about a board at bayview etc.£400+vat for first year and£200+vat each subsequent year. Now if your work don't think that's worthwhile then that's your part to sell it to them and send the details to the club or tell whoever is in charge to call the club.The more boards then the more money in the coffers for the budget and the better the squad etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Its not only a game Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Congrats to Big Tonks who is in this weeks SPFL Team of the Week!!!Another deserved entry, he has really come onto a game over the last few weeks, obviously got his wee pal Waldo back and is totally over his injury that was hampering him around mid-season!!!Agreed- his work rate is unbelievable- clearly was carrying an injury as his work rate a few weeks ago was not up to par.Would love midfield to pick up his runs like past 2 weeks and keep ball on the ground- feel he will score more with that support.If he goes on a scoring run and our excellent CB’s concentrate for 90- maybe- just maybe- we can get top 4( ?).Then its a lottery- do that and we should name a stand( ok only stand[emoji23]) after Mr Young? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life on Marrs? Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Take it there's no sign of any more squad additions before this windows slams shut? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
