Next seasons kit

If I was a Utd fan I'd be chuffed with their '83 tribute, quite like Motherwell's retro one as well.  St.Johnstones, disgusting.  Killie away ? Worst strip I've ever seen (apart from our 95 away one,  which I'm wearing as I speak)

BBC site says:

"Dundee United will also be holding 40th anniversary celebrations next season as they celebrate winning the league in 1983 under the legendary Jim McLean. Back then, Dundee United and Aberdeen always wore home strips against each other. These days one usually has their away top on. But with both wearing 1983 tribute kits this season, surely for old times' sake at least one New Firm clash has to be tangerine v red."

How long has it been since we played each other in home colours?

They’re away strip has black shorts & socks.

Do the Tims have a 3rd kit 

Don't see why Celtic would want to change to alternate colours at home on the opening day of the new season. They're also adidas and strangely enough haven't had any problems with their supply.

I can see us wearing last year's blue kit if our new red kit still hasn't arrived

Isn't the rule that we'd have to wear Celtic's alternative strip and pay a fine to the FA?

No idea, but if I was at Adidas I’d be doing the same I suppose. 

It’s basic economics 

I don’t get why the away kit can be produced but not the home kit. 

Maybe ran out of red material producing the bigger team's kit? 

Manchester united, Bayern and arsenal are three of the 5 on their 'A team' list

It’s a bit amateur hour for a company like Adidas to not be able to provide a professional clubs home kit in time for the new season.

They’ve managed to do so for other Adidas kits (the Tims for example).

What’s their excuse for not providing ours? 

The kits are signed off & agreed 12 months in advance. Is it anything to do with late notification of sponsors maybe? 

It's to do with club status maybe.

We're probably well down the pecking order as far as getting orders out are concerned.

Presume we'll have to wear last season's home kit against the Tims on Sunday then?

Doubt they’d do that down to sponsorship?

I heard they have the home shirts here. Dunno if that's true mind...

Surely we could just utilise last season shorts and socks??

Or wear home shirt with away shorts and socks.

We registered a "third kit" away to Hearts last season did we not? Think the home team is asked if they're willing to wear their away kit, which they are entitled to decline. We wore the white strip with the black and gold stripes down the centre from the previous season at Tynecastle

Therefore my understanding is, we would have to wear their away kit, and pay a fine.

Not necessarily? We could register a third kit again? The navy away one from last season for example.

Pass on the fine, could be right enough.

I see what you mean.

My concern was that if addidas can't supply our red kit, which has presumably been on order for some months now, we may struggle to come up with another one in time.

I have a feeling (and it is no more than that), that we are contractually bound to wear certain a certain kit over a given contractual period and not beyond it. In which case we couldn't just get last season's kit out of the back of the drawer.

Still, we're probably worrying about nothing.

Aye quite possibly, different sponsors and what not too. Christ knows what the answer is.

Do we have an actual timeframe for when shirts are out for the fans.

You going to wear one up to Cove, Shrapnel?
