I don't think either strip is a good enough design for me to put my hand in my pocket and buy either of them, but I do hope they sell well. On a more positive note ..... Joe Cardle must be highly chuffed at the away strip publicity, his photo is everywhere!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's all about opinions and I will leave it at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garscube Road End Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 By the way!. I love the away strip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laukat Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Really like the away strip and its one that I'll be purchasing asap. Not so keen on the home strip and in particular the red patches under the arms altough it might grow on me. Its struck me that the away top has the collar of the 18/19 strips and in general is using the template of the 18/19 shirts whereas the the new home strip is in the Joma 19/20 template as per St Mirrens top. Perhaps that means we've been working on the away top for a while? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javeajag Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Interesting to look at the reaction to Rayo Vallecano doing the same in Spain about three years ago where about 7 euros from each top went to charities fighting various issues with an lgbt umbrella my daughter who is gay thought it was brilliant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jag Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 I don't really think there is as much negative publicity as some people are making out. Some of the comments (on the comments) on Twitter are a bit OTT. Anybody who isn't keen on the strip is being classed as homophobic and people seem to be intent on creating agendas. I love the home strip, it is plain and similar to the one of 1971 and I kinda like the away strip. I'm always in favour of a white away kit and most of my favourites over the years have been white. My only issue is that I just don't think the red, yellow and black trim matches the rainbow. I would have just liked to have seen one or the other. All rainbow trim would have looked great. One positive is it is great marketing and I can't see an issue with that. It creates publicity for the club and TTL will sell a lot of kits to non Thistle fans. I seem to remember Greaves saying that the Pink and Grey Puma away top outsold the Spain strip the week they won the Euros in 2008. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macavenie is getting dogs abuse from Celtic, Hammers and football fans in general on Twitter over his article. I personally think if the club thought it was a no-brainer then they should have made it bigger, and extended it to the shorts and went full rainbow socks. (Personally I think the shorts and socks currently ruin the away strip) Edited June 23, 2019 by Norgethistle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernsoul Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 I sway between liking and not liking the home shirt. Really proud of the Club with regards to the away top and I really like it. From a geeky perspective, if that away top had white shorts and the white PTFC socks, from a few seasons back then it would be absolutely magnificent.

alx Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Plain yellow is rubbish. I'm sticking to last year's top, which is good as I got a flash back print done at Morton's T-shirts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West of Scotland Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 Old White Straight Man writes 600 words about how he's not bothered about all the "vile abuse" he's suffered. Thank god the LBGTQ community finally have someone who truly understands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thistlemad1 Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) Ok, I realise this might make me unpopular although who cares. Personally I think Frank M actually has a valid point, well lets face it, there`s a first time for everything!! There is a distinct possibility that kids in particular WILL get bullied. It could also make some fans on their way home from games targets for homophobes. It also makes a "political" statement, and as a club we should stay away from politics IMHO. Next, some of the groups that are included under the lgb umbrella were reported to have been considering legal action against each other!!! As a club do we want to possibly be dragged into this or other lgb disputes, even if its only a reporter phoning for an opinion? My own daughter recently left the lgb movement over some of the "loony groups" (her words)(eg wtf is a "demi-boy??) now demanding recognition. She has agreed to reconsider over the holidays (she`s still at school and was recently the schools junior representative or something ),(I do pay attention to her, HONEST I DO). I`m of the age group who was fine with it being the LGB and them having the right to marry, (why shouldn`t they be as miserable as us straight folks?), but now its the LGB and the rest of the f***ing alphabet, oh and a plus sign and sometimes even a lower case i. Its getting ridiculous, even to some of its own members! Its only MY opinion, but I am not convinced enough thought went into this decision.

Jaggernaut Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 If the new logo is some kind of political statement, then the same is true when it comes to sporting logos for, say, a charity to fight e.g. cancer: why is a so-called rich country should essential medical research and services need to rely on charity, while billions get spent on keeping a handful of people very rich. Oh, I share thistlemad1's opinion about the appearance of new strings of letters, digits etc...... bananas! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
