An early start for next season's thread but I felt I needed to send out a call to arms for you all to vote for Option A in Patrick Thistle's vote for next season's kit.

Not much of a choice really, as the shorts and socks would seem to be a fait accompli.
But Option A is fkn hideous, the collar and shoulder panels are awful, and the central "stripe" looks more like a smear.
At least Option B has a round collar and some black trim.
*Edit* It's now 53% / 47% in favour of A after 950 votes.

Oh, I'm no fan of Option A at all but at least it is recognisably a Jags kit given their history since the seventies at least (though it does look more Galatasaray overall).
Option B looks more like a particularly outre Liverpool kit.

Bloody hell, it's narrowed to only 51/49 in A's favour now.
This is 2016's final and most damning proof that the general public should not be allowed to vote on important issues.

Have cast a vote for A, though, needless to say. It's only leading 756-711 as I type. What the hell is wrong with half the population?

If I were forced to choose between one of those two options (although my own choice would be for option C: Launch Joma into the fucking sun and get Umbro to provide the strip), I'd reluctantly go for A.
Why? Well, B looks like an MLS training shirt, and option A wouldn't be the first time we've worn blurry stripes. I give you our 1994/95 effort:
Now as strips go, that's pretty poor. However, that was also the season we came from a million points adrift to avoid the drop, and relegated Dundee United. Happy days.
Oh, and one final word on both options A and B: WHERE'S THE BLACK SHORTS JOMA, YOU FUCKING MUPPETS?

There's about five votes in it now, in A's favour.
Blameless, as poor as A is I find it amazing that Jags supporters would countenance voting for Option B - has there been much discussion amongst them that you're aware of.
I did wonder if the open nature of the poll meant supporters of rival clubs were trying to saddle them with a duff kit. The only alternative is to accept that a lot of Thistle fans don't care about their excellent kit tradition as much as some of the rest of us.

Why do you see A as a more traditional Partick kit than B? They didn't wear vertical stripes until 1975, much later than the first appearance of hoops (thanks, Historical Kits).
Obviously B is not a very good example of hoops and could do with more yellow, but at least it's got some black in it. I rather like it.
Edit: Actually, it could do with a lot more yellow, couldn't it? Even so.

Well, that's the point, no modern Thistle kit has ever been so predominantly red - or has ever had one colour been so prominent. They have always been a more even mix of red, yellow and, occasionally and latterly, black.
Even the very yellow shirts of the early seventies, mid-eighties and start of this decade were offset by contrasting shorts.
It's an extreme example of this drift to block colour kits and it will not stand. If Option B wins it will hurt just as viscerally as the victories for Leave and Trump.

RdG: no one really dislikes us enough to vote to impose a crap strip on us - quite apart from anything else, we've got plenty of form for self-inflicted strip disasters anyway.
If I had to guess, I'd say the Thistle fans clamouring for option B are the ones who have been won over too much by Kingsley, and who believe that zany, twitter-trending, attention-seeking bollocks is the answer to everything. Not coincidentally, for the most part these fans are too young to remember the "halves" abomination of the mid-noughties, or the geometric nonsense of the late 80s.
