Callum_Doon 1,036 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 They were, if I recall correctly, a 'double glazing' firm. If we're sponsored by one brewery and they're sponsored by a competitor, then fine. They drink one, we drink another, the breweries make their money, however... we never drink each others sponsors beverages. If CR Smith come along though and implore how they are sponsoring my team, I'd be thinking, aye, but your sponsoring the other lot as well, hence I can have nothing to do with you.

The 2012 shirt was like a modern version. But it had Tennents below the crest, a weird collar and it was too pale blue. That original 1977 one looks like you could roll it up and beat a whale to death with it......must have been fucking uncomfortable to wear on a hot day Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum_Doon 1,036 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 So... 1978... Did we have a second strip? ...and if we didn't... then when? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum_Doon 1,036 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I can certainty remember we had a second strip when John Greig was playing - it was just simply more or less a red version... and here it is, dated as 1974. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
