Partick Thistle 09/10 Puma Away kit
Partick Thistle FC and Greaves Sports unveiled Scottish football’s first ever camouflage kit – also believed to be the first camouflage strip in world football which features pink.
Official retailer Greaves Sports, kit manufacturer Puma and designers Genesis combined to come up with the concept with the pink element retained on the back of the success – on and off the park – of last year’s change top.
While it received widespread praise from media and public as well as becoming the club’s fastest ever selling kit, Thistle won five times out of six while wearing the 2008/09 pink and grey hooped top.
Sandy Greaves, managing director of Greaves Sports, said: “We were blown away by the reaction to last season’s away strip which was Partick Thistle’s best ever in terms of sales and exposure. We promised to create a stir year-on-year so were then faced with the challenge of coming up with something which would generate as much interest.
“We retained the pink element due to the popularity of last year’s pink and grey kit and we hope it proves a lucky charm for Ian McCall and his players once again.”
The strip will be available on general sale later this month and details of when the players will play in the camouflage kit have yet to be confirmed.
Thistle manager Ian McCall said: “Last season’s away strip was certainly an eye-catcher and this term’s is no different. The amazing thing is the wide age range of people who are buying into this – even from within my squad.”
Allan Cowan, chairman of Partick Thistle, said: “We are delighted to unveil the new away strip for the coming season in the latest chapter of our successful relationship with retail partner Greaves Sports.”

I suppose all the Partick Chav Boys will snap it up like a half-empty bottle of Diamond White. It\'ll go well with a Carbrini zip hoodie and adidas 3-stripe trakkie bottoms.
but then it\'s just an awful, Awful kit.
Dont do it.
I wanna
I wanna
I wanna be trash!!!!!
oh, nooo, that cannot be.... I agree 100% with Gazhorn. this is pure, trashy, senseless horse manure. for the utter chavdom only
I don\'t like to slate otherteams kits as I know as a fan of my club, that I always look forward to a new kit so much.
This is awful, not even funny and almost an insult to Professional Football, regardless of what league or division.
Puma have been around for years and know better.
Partick should sue them.
i thought that GETAFE\'s kit and VALENCIA\' (batman kit) were the worse of the season...
On the other: This is WAY too MUCH. Right up there with that classic Arsenal\'s V-Pattern Banana Mix of the 90s, Hull City\'s Hair Metal Tiger Nightmare, and anything worn by Jorge Campos...
like most Puma shirts but this is utter s***e. Who in the right mind gave the approval for this shirt i feel sorry for the fans.
Let\'s face it, those lists are great, and there hasn\'t been a new addition for many seasons, so fair play to Partick - I bet this will sell all over the world to people who just want a completely different shirt and a piece of future football memorabilia.
The players will still probably feel pretty stupid wearing it though.
The paint spill has run down his leg !!!
IMAGINE THIS KIT IN THE SPL!!!
PUMA KITS ARE ****E THIS YEAR!
I\'m gonna buy the shirt, and ship it to the country!
no words for just how wrong that kit is.
I think its \"FABULOUS!!!!!!\" :shock:
Up The Mariners
This coming from a Newcastle United fan, you support the laughing stock of British football. I would rather be seen it that than anything that had a Newcastle badge on it. The next Leeds United anyone! :L
Sorry pal, maybe support Sunderland? I hear they are in the premier league. I\'m glad that Newcastle aren\'t in the Premier League anymore, at least the are some respectable clubs in the league.
SERIOUSLY DO THAT PEOPLE THINK JUST A LITTLE BIT?
but then again its the only one like it this year :whistle:
Shimizu S-Pulse 2001 away. :shock:
its good logic, well done to the thistle board.
they should have just copied St Pauli\'s from a few years back, at least then it would look cool
:huh: Woman, I guess?!
Yeh pretty nice strip tbh.
those guys bring shame to Puma...
I swear that every year we go to who ever is making our shirts and say \'OK we already have fairly hideous home strip that our supporters are bizarrely proud of so can you come up with something more ridiculous on the away front?\'
This year they fulfilled their brief in style.
We\'ve followed the Thistle for many a day,
And seen all the matches at home and away,
And when the games over and thistle have won,
We\'re off to the tavern to join in the fun,
And it\'s Partick Thistle,Partick Thistle FC,
By far the greatest team the world has ever seen
shut yer hole
Definitely one to look out for in dark-rooms up and down the land. Basically my censoreddar says it's got lots of censored-appeal, especially for big beefy bear types.
