Do you mean our 1998/99 Kit ?
Patrick > Evening Herald ( Argyle Green )
The Last Time We wore Argyle Green
I'm in a sports bar in Majorca that's got a tangegreen shirt pinned to the wall, we should bring that back !!
I think the best green kit in Europe is that of Werder Bremen. Suspect I would be very alone in that view though.
I have plenty of Proper Argyle Green shirts in my Collection
Dreaming one day we will wear it again
Could it be next season ? :scarf:

My first shirt that one, aaaww.
...but can we please stop referring to everything last century as being "proper green". There have been many 'greens' in our history, there is no 'one true green'.
Besides, any of our number who happens to be about 25 or under probably knows no different to the current green. To them some mythical historic 'green' is as alien as newspapers for shin pads and heavy leather footballs.
There's an arrogance to 'proper' that is misplaced, it assumes legitimacy, a universally agreed definitive green. That has never been the case.
I suspect you all mean 'emerald green', so why not simply call it that?

Even you can admit, Smiffy, that the current shirts aren't obviously green from any sort of distance
In that sense, proper green to me would be anything that is actually obviously green. Unlike the current shade.
Brighter green is hardly an alien colour to anyone, is it? If you look around Home Park, the youngsters you speak of that aren't wearing the official shirt are likely to be wearing lighter green adidas, Nike etc sportswear as an alternative means of support and fitting in. Quite simply...lighter green looks better, is more green and at the very least would sell plenty of shirts as a nice change. No brainer.
