Motherwell’s 2007/08 season was one of the most memorable in the club’s modern history. Under Mark McGhee, the Steelmen produced an excellent campaign and finished 3rd in the Scottish Premier League, securing European football for the first time in 13 years. Chris Porter and David Clarkson formed an effective partnership in attack, while the season was also marked by the tragic passing of captain Phil O’Donnell in December.
This Bukta training shirt has a fantastic old-school appearance, with a deep claret body contrasted by bright amber trim around the crew neck and sleeve edges. The Bukta logo and Motherwell FC initials on the chest are also picked out in amber, while the shoulders feature a distinctive amber strip decorated with repeated claret detailing. The simple, sponsor-free front gives it a proper training-ground feel.
This Motherwell 2007/08 Bukta casual training shirt in Large is a particularly interesting piece from a significant season at Fir Park. Bukta had returned as Motherwell’s kit manufacturer after a long absence, giving the shirt an extra bit of historical appeal, while the unusual claret-and-amber colour combination makes it stand out from the club’s more familiar match shirts.
