Drew Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Polyester strip washing techniques and stadium Hall of Fame panels are two subjects I don't talk about on this forum.... Anyway, nice looking day today, eh? September the first. Nights will soon be fair drawing in.... Something to do with your bath and David Van Zanten. You're right, not sure we need to hear about that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 noticed that last night, got dark at half past eight. Sure it wasn't the clouds of doom gathering over the DiddyDome? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) Did Jens Paeslack run off with our 2015/16 away kits? Someone phone Crimewatch... Missing strips. Anyone with information please phone Mill Street police, Paisley. #fcukoffjdsports Edited September 4, 2015 by pozbaird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray7 Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Away kit on sale by the end of next week, finally arrived in the UK. Shambles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liverpool Bud Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Perhaps a boycott in protest of the shabby "service " will send the message loud and clear to the JD shysters ! I'm sure last time I looked it wasn't even available to pre order on the JD site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bud72 Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 I emailed them. They apologised and said they were still waiting on a release date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank McGarvey' wonky legs Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 If SG or Brian Caldwell are reading this and we all know that you do then it is time that JD and the board treated the fans with some respect over the home strip debacle (not only the lack of a kids kit but the shoddy quality of the adult ones) and also having to wait until well into September at least for the release of the away kits. We had a one line apology in July but nothing since. We can talk about boycotts but tell kids that they can't get the strip because JD are usless and we want to hit them in the pocket.

Edinbuddie Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 I think both the home and away had collar changes later in the period of that Umbro strip without any other significant change. The early strips had a collar (with an Umbro diamond on the 'flaps'), but it changed to the broad banded collar later in the period. Imagine a football club keeping a strip largely unchanged for 3 or 4 years!? How did clubs survive, have skilful players and compete in Europe before the rampant commercialism (that they now can't do without) arrived.

Both home and away tops from Umbro, changed the collar style for 1979-80 to a simple V neck. http://www.stmirren.info/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/strips/home1977-79.jpg Became http://www.stmirren.info/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/strips/1979-81home.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's a genuine top, cant remember us ever having a strip with such a large white v neck, could be wrong though I would have been pretty young back then...

I'm with you on this big guy. AFAIK the red away retained the collar , I don't remember a V-neck. Only pic I can find is one of Luther in a game against Kilmarnock in 1980 and the strip has a collar , by that time the home strip had the v-neck !
