  9. Season 16/17 Home & Away Kits

    in General St. Mirren Discussion

    A bespoke kit design should, at the very least, be great all the time. It opens up a ton of possibilities to get fans genuinely involved, and not in a 'Boaty McBoatface' fashion either, or for away fans to hi-jack the vote.

    Just off the top of my head - get local schools involved in drawing competitions to have a bash at St Mirren strip designs. Even if the BoD could awake from their slumbers long enough to judge the entries - pick the best, oh, let's say 25 entries and display them in Paisley museum. Allow visitors to the museum to vote on the designs. No online voting, so no massive 'Boaty McBoatface' scenario. Gets Saints fans to go into town, see the kids designs, have a vote.

    BoD narrow it down to a top 3. BoD get JD Sports to tidy their preferred design up and produce it. As I have said many times, JD could make anything I asked for. An amazing service and an amazing opportunity....

    All thrown away in a fug of missed opportunity and downright apathy from within the walls of St Mirren Park.

    Of course you are 100% correct and you have posted some great designs on here over the years but that still relies on a decent manufacturer so the jersey can fit over a childs head and the manufacturer's own logo is sewn on the right way up etc. etc. Although it's great to have a bespoke service, as you say we have missed the opportunity partly from the fug within St. Mirren park but also partly from JD's lack of quality, If you take Shull as an example - he has a child eager to have her teams kit, Shull knows he's going to have to pay a fair whack for it but he has no confidence that he'll get a product that fits, has no flaws in the material, has all the badges and logos the right way up or in the right places or even if it will last the whole season, I'll bet that if it wasn for himself and not his kid, he wouldn't bother.

    Aye, basically the club are pushing JD for info/release date/etc, not much more they can do at the moment.Tony F stating again that the JD deal is excellent for the club.

    It might be great for the club but Shull is absolutely right it's a shite deal for the fans. we would be far better off if we had an "off the peg" adidas top. A bespoke strip is great half the time (12/13) and crap half the time (barcode).
