Killiefc.com got a sneak preview of next season's new strips today
and were suitable impressed.
The shorts next season will be blue again with two 3" white vertical
stripes on the outside of either leg. The top has stripes the same
thickness as the current strip and it has a round neck with no collar to
speak of. The fabric is of the 'stretchy' variety coupled with two white
'netting' panels below the arms and one at the tail of the shirt. The
embroidered badge is dead centre below a TFG logo but of course there was
no sponsors logo as yet. McLelland Cheese are said to be very keen to
renew the contract but there is another MAJOR company in
contention, details of which will be announced in the near future if all
goes well.
The away strip is a total step away from anything we've had recently
(unless you count the 'dads army' home strip, as it is all white. There
are 1" wide purple flashes that run from the neckline to under the arms
and there is a purple braid on the shorts...with the material and
the collar being similar to the home
top.
It is very reminiscent of a Real Madrid top and pretty trick looking...certainly a lot better than
the all purple Anderlecht style top that TFG had produced as a sample!
The away top will go on sale first for a change, hopefully being released
in time for the final game of the season. The club had no plans for Luci
Victoria to model for the strip launch but maybe they'll ask here now such
a fuss has been made! We are unsure when the home top will come out but it
should be before the Kilmarnock Fair. The lucky red kit will be held in
reserve as a third option again.
