shull Posted June 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 All we needed last year and this Season was a copy of the 2012/13 Strip with very minor changes, if any. Infact, a different Sponsor is good enough change. Last years top should have been the Third Top just like the 135th anniversary one. Traditional Black and White Stripes only for 1st Kit.

Stu Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Will the club make more money the more shirts that are sold or do they just get a one off fee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the rationale behind the kit - I just did not initially like it. And I am all for trying out new ideas. Some work better than others and some are a total disaster (the Bib!). I doubt if I am the only supporter that has not liked every single strip that the Club has produced over the decades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have worn a traditional black and white striped top, especially made for the Cup Final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Zo Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Phoned the club yesterday afternoon and spoke to reception who advised that the strips might be in end of next week if not then start of following week.With regards to the farce of yesterday's tweets I just wish the club had put out an update saying that the strips would be here within a week or so and on sale for say the 4th of July. Wait til the proper photo shoot has been done before releasing crappy photos of wrong strip.I wish the club had been updating the website giving fans an update rather than silence with regards to strip release date. I would imagine practically every club in our league has their strips on sale by now. Shoddy!The fans 'closed' day is also a farce. We still seem to be struggling with doing the basic PR stuff right.

Correct ! Although you wouldn't have thought that at the Smisa quiz , last night. Great night , Directors/ex players team , management team , current players team (including new signings) and around 60 fans. Shame there wasn't a bigger turnout of members , I would hate to think that some of the current agendas flying about was the reason behind some supporters non-attendance !

Russian Saint Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 If only I believe that would be a top seller (No pun intended)Not so keen on the white panel on the shorts, keep it simple and traditional. Latest version I'd say is the best strip for a few seasons though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct although they changed to stripes for the final. Played the 62 final in a white shirt. Won the 67/68 league with a white shirt with thin black stripes. There have been plenty of seasons when the team haven't played in a "traditional" shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Arthur Blair Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Like it or loathe it, at least the new kit is bespoke. Here is the Saintees kit for the forthcoming season and this is Breadalbane Amateurs, who play in the Perthshire Amateur league, from last season.

How are St Johnstone going to get on in away games at Rugby Park? Sometimes you have to wonder at some people's thought patterns. For example.... 1. We've got millions of people looking at Glasgow for the opening ceremony - I know, let's blow up some shitey tower blocks. 2. Our home kit is blue and white - I know, let's make the away kit white and blue. 3. Let's have an open day - I know, let's restrict it to season ticket holders. In all seriousness, what the fcuk went on at those meetings? Class A substances? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The away shirt being a negative of the home kit apart, I was highlighting that the kit supplied by Joma to the Saintess is, quite literally, a pub league kit. In 93/94 when we had this as an away kit at an away game v Dunfermline the ref wouldn't allow Saints to wear that so they had to run out to a local sports shop and buy a full set of all sky blue kit. Have you seen Sellick's change kit? what are they going to wear away to Hibs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, it was a great night but it crossed my mind too that the incessant criticism of SMiSA that is going on might have affected the attendance.
