That’ll do for another season board members the idiots will spend a bunch of cash on them.) To be fair to the brains at Aberdeen, they know they'll generate a lot of guaranteed revenue via the sales of the new home shirt and, in particular, the away shirt. The innovation of the AberDNA initiative is a fantastic method in generating even more income with subscribers being eligible for a new shirt. Our away shirts over the past few seasons have been up there with some of the best around. The new one is a belter. There has been better Aberdeen home shirts but it is by no means the worst we've ever had. Link to comment

Last seasons was bad but apart from that they’ve been decent the years before. New kit is best home kit in years. Superb Link to comment

I though last season's one, the silver version from 2018-19, the gold away shirt from 2019-20, and the away top from season 2015-16 were definitely a set of the better away shirts on the market. The blue one from 2017-18, like you say, wasn't one of the better ones mind. The away top from 1993-94 is still by far the best one we've had until next season's version is officially unveiled.

There was another picture of the away top doing the rounds on Twitter. Was the same design as the concept picture further up the thread but had a slightly different vneck collar. Looked really smart. Both kits this year are a massive improvement on last years efforts. Link to comment

I'll look oot for the one you speak aboot min. Compared with last year's efforts, although I have seen worst, they are an improvement, which is a win-win for all concerned. Here's very much hoping that is reciprocated by the players, which I have a feeling it will be?. Link to comment

Probably apt ? Why do they need a 3rd kit? I thought it was only required for European games? Their colours don't clash with any other top flight sides. Maybe in preperation for next season when they'll colour clash with Arbroath again. Link to comment

TheRock Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Think there's more demand for a short sleeve goalie strip or a long sleeve home strip? Can't be much demand for short sleeve goalie tops in Scotland 1 Link to comment

If Hearts ever play us in that monstrosity, we should belt out “Are you Burntisland in disguise?” Link to comment

Wester Hailes Skins Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Your new strip is shit. Hibs' new strip is shit. Our new strip is shit. Thin training tops with print badges. Gimme the 80s and 90s. Thick material. Proppa collars. Material badges. Big shorts. Great designs. Only a home, and an away. We're all victims now of margin and profit at Nike, Adidas, etc. Look at our 3rd strip. Yeah, just change the Hearts badge to blue and yellow, it'll save a penny a strip avoiding having to use another colour. Irony is, even accounting for inflation, they're dearer than they were before. Personally. Not sure why clubs like us and Hibs even use a manufacturer like Adidas or Nike at all. Fair enough Rangers and Celtic with global reach. But what are the 3 of us selling each year, a few thousand, all locally, then giving away margin, for their shit strips. Design our own strips, with fans input, improve quality. Keep ALL sales revenue. Only sell from the club. Bet we'd all hit record sales. Do I hear a hell yeah? 2 2 Link to comment
