There were a few awfully put together shirts, I’m sure my Lotto one had sleeves from a Large, the body from a medium and the neck from a XXL, but that kit seemed to fit really well, and I never wore it all that often. Maybe I was one of the lucky ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I was one of the lucky ones. The Lotto ones were bad too. I think there were stories about the colours running in the way. The sponsors on my away shirt are totally gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby14 Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 What was the story with the Lotto ones Lroy? If I remember correctly, they seemed to take an age to come out then go on sale, and the fit was terrible. Pretty sure Lotto we’re replaced the season after, sure it is pretty unusual for a kit supplier to sign a one year deal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure Lotto we’re replaced the season after, sure it is pretty unusual for a kit supplier to sign a one year deal. Some third party company bought the rights to make the Lotto kits. Not unusual, our Hummel deal is similar. They must have promised a great deal because there was a few clubs signed up but they couldn't handle the demand by all accounts. Quality was crap, deliveries were delayed. I don't know if they lost the Lotto contract straight away but I don't think a single club stayed on with them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby14 Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 The Eremenko one above was another I’ll fitting shirt. The bodies were so broad and I never really understood the gold trim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skygod Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 Wasn't this the anniversary one, hence the star above the badge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lroy Posted April 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 Gold trim came from the previous year's kit. Gold material was just in style at the time. MJ liked it so requested it on the 2010-11 shirt pictured (which I designed.) This was another design from that season that wasn't picked and version v1.0 of the shirt we won the cup in. Ended up selling them on eBay to pay for a holiday with an ex. Anyone on here buy them? EDIT: This shows the design better. Shoulder design was supposed to look like the 90s promotion kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verve sponsored us during our 141st anniversary. Gold was added for the 140th, I guess whoever was choosing the next season shirts liked it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wasn't liked. MJ was determined to have an arrow shape on the side for some reason. They ended up much smaller on each side and on the sleeves.

Stefanus Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 20 hours ago, skygod said: Wasn't this the anniversary one, hence the star above the badge? Nope. 2014/15 version had more stripes and they were of equal width. Also had QTS influenced orange trim on the sleeves. Think it had a round, button collar too. It was completely shapeless. Mine looked like a smock. It was a missed opportunity, and a lesson from which we didn’t learn when the 150th kit was designed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bute-killiefan Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 2 of my favs. I also loved a goalkeeper shirt from around 2002/3/4. It was orange and had a high collar. I wore that one with pride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen a lot of your designs and really liked them, but that’s questionable. Might just be proportion of sleeves to body and width. Why was MJ effectively in charge of our kit design? i always like the idea of a design competition in schools, like Gretna did years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cumbrian Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 In the late 60s we had an all white strip with blue collar and blue cuffs and a blue strip on the shorts that was a really nice kit. Wouldn't mind that as a second strip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commercial manager will deal with most of it, but the board still have final say on kit designs now. If the manufacturer is any good, they will be able to supply designs based on specifications from the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
