It's getting to that time of year again when we wonder what next seasons home strip will be. Personally I would love it if we got shot of errea! The quailty of the strips are always pathetic and reminds me of the fake tops you can get abroad. Also with c*unty having nike i feel almost jealous of them. However I've lost all hope that we will ever get rid of errea because as far as I'm aware we get paid to use their shirts.

So, what (errea) design would you wish for in the 2012-14 seasons?

I like Brightons last two home shirts. I have a link below, just scroll down untill you find them. brighton also use errea, so just imagine either the 2010-11 0r 2011-12 shirt in blue and red and thats what i would like. A sort of barca esque blue and red striped shirt aswell would do nicely!

I don't really get caught up in the whole "must be stripes"....or any of that. So long as it looks good.

I'd have no problem if we went with stripes all the time (or any other set layout/style), but think there's something to be said for having a bit of variety.

P.S. I have no idea what the new strip is like...could be red and black stripes for all I know, and I'd have no problem with that, even as someone who was previously of the Caley Persuasion. I'm of the ICT persuasion now and it's the badge on the shirt that matters.

I'm going to sound like a broken record here but mysely, mrs ymip, ymip jr (ICT diehard), miss ymip and ymipette are off on our summer jollies on Tuesday. Ymip Jr has been harping on about getting next season's strip for his holidays and as per usual we have no product to purchase. This happens every summer and it frustrates me hugely that an SPL club is unable to secure a delivery schedule which coincides with peak kit buying season.

Funnily enough we're off to Italy and within reasonable driving distance of Errea's base in Parma. I'm thinking of nipping past and encouraging them to get their finger out and get the bleedin' gear delivered.........you never know we might even get our mitts on a strip before the club do.

Red and Black are not our registered colours so we would need to re-register new colours with SFA/SPL and I don't see us going to that bother.

It has to be done every year anyway

SPL Rule B10.1 By 1st June (or such other date as may be fixed from time to time by the Board) in each year, all Clubs shall submit to the Company written details of their first, second and, where applicable, third choice colours (of shirts, shorts and socks) and such details shall be published in the Directory of Clubs printed in the League Handbook.

Well done Alex

Cant be much worse than this surely?

That no 5 of the six.......the one with two solid colour blocks is worse...as is the Croatia one..and the first one of the six. Bear the lady supporters in mind......vertical stripes are slimming!

It's no only the ladies thatneed slimming verticals

So the registration of strip....another deadline that NewCo wouldn't be able to meet!!!

Can they not wear bibs?

Can't afford them. So skins it is!

Can't afford them. So skins it is!

....and with most of their squad now leaving they could end up being just the four skins !!

I would like to stay with the stripes. Old fashioned view but i think every club should have a standard strip that is part of their idendity and just a few tweeks here and there every season.

Here's a thought. If all teams played in skins and the players got the team strip tattooed onto their bodies:

1. We wouldn't change strip every season
   
2. The club wouldn't have to shell out on team kit
   
3. No laundry needed
   
4. No more bookings for taking a shirt off to celebrate
   
5. No more jersey pulling
   
6. Players would be a helluva lot more loyal!
   

I just can't think why this hasn't been done before.

Yer man has....

I think the body paint alternative for the woman's game could help it's profile though....

Pre-match beer, juice n crisps for the YMIPs on me if you undertake this mission and get a photo on here before the official launch...

New signing models the new home top....

Black stripes to represent the Jail end?

Just been on the Errea website. Spotted this nice one...

I've not been through the whole thread, so apologies if it's been previously posted.

I'm just looking forward to the kit release, and would be happy if it was somewhat similar to this design

Surely it can't be long now! I'm guessing pre-season training is in skins since the training tops haven't arrived yet! Whenever the contract runs out, I hope the club ditch Errea.

I'm getting a bit peed of waiting

Gringo Jnr, that top looks red and black stripes. I'll have twenty for the next twenty seasons, looks class so it does.

With the first pre-season game this Saturday, presumably the shirt will be announced sometime this week. In saying that though, ICT are usually pretty late in announcing it and Errea seem to have a habit of being a bit slack. Remember that time the black away kits never turned up until about October!?

Maybe the boys will be showing it off on saturday at Buckie

Don't be shocked if they don't have the new kit for that game. I'm sure at Clach a few seasons ago they had the old shirt with a sticker or something over the sponser (when we switched from Flybe to Orion)

My guess it will be on sale at best a couple of weeks before the seasons opening game. No doubt the last of the SPL clubs to start selling new strips once again
