SPL http://onlyanexcuse.com/blog/2011/0...cottish-premier-league-team-kits-201112/1700/ My impressions Aberdeen. kept it simple and smart Celtic . Same home top again this season. I like the regular away top but I'm not sure of the modified Bumblebee top. Dundee U. No originality, just took Man U's top from a couple years back and made it tangerine. I've seen another photo of the whole away kit, minging. ( might be a bit biased with that ) Dunfirmline. Not a bad effort on the home, I'm not sold on the red trim Hearts. They did a very good job, like Aberdeen, kept it simple and smart. equally good job with the away top. Hibs. Looks cool but I'm not sure about the 2tone greens. Away is the same template as the Pars away top ( you'll notice this pattern alot with Puma supplied teams) ICT : only have an away top new for this season. It's looks pretty good to me. Killie.. No info on new tops Motherwell. Used the same template as Hibs and Pars away tops. Rangers.. Home and away tops are just plain fugly. St Johnstone. Nice simple and smart St Mirren. Not a bad effort for them
The lines around the arms on the home top is what puts the home top into the bad catagory for me. Looks more like a Woman's top than a man's.
Lets face it. If Rangers released a plain blue strip like every fan wants then we would not be able to release a new one each season and make money.
Celtic's away is OK, although there's something about it that bugs me that I can't quite put my finger on ... maybe it's the green sleeves. Their third kit looks a keeper ... goalkeeper I mean, because me no likey. Hearts' away is pretty classy.
1st Division Kits http://onlyanexcuse.com/blog/2011/07/13/sfl-preview-sfl-division-1-team-kits-201112/1733/ Ayr United: Not bad. Maybe slightly busy. Dundee : (Bias warning) I like the top best of the 4 tops in the division that use the same template. Falkirk: Simple and nice.. Hamilton: Not released yet Livingston: Worst in the division, Apparently the inspiration is Star Trek Next Generation. Morton: Same template as Dundee, not bad looking Thistle: It looks good with the thinner red pinstipes. ( Same template as Dundee) QOS: the white indents look kind of silly Raith: Dundee's top but with the second stripe being white rather than red. Away is a pink version of the top used 3 times in the SPL Ross County: They went the same way as Dundee United and stole the Man U look. The away looks decent
I really like the Celtic away top, I'm not sure why, but the design looks great to me. As far as ugly goes, wtf is up with that blue (on home shirt) and pink (on the away shirt) sponsor on the Hearts' tops? Jesus Christ, talking about clashing of colors... It completely destroys a good looking kit (the home jersey).
I wouldn't go as far as to say I really like it but initially I thought it looked bloody awful. But, after seeing it yesterday during the match it wasn't anywhere near as bad as my first impression.
Anyone remember the half white/half black tops that were worn for several international friendly games back in 2005/06(I believe that is the year) for Kick Racism Out? When I saw Ayr United's home top, that is what I thought of.
