pozbaird Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) So, aside from children obeying the laws of nature and growing up, no real reason. You are aware the tricky issue of kids growing bigger will also affect next season's kit no matter when it goes on sale, and the season after that, and the season... You are I assume also aware the current season has a good way still to run don't you? Cup semi finals haven't even been played, titles, relegation, and St Mirren's mid-table mediocrity still to be confirmed. Playoffs still to be played, temperatures still to get past about 11 degrees C? I'll bow out. St Mirren will never, ever put kits on sale with the season still in full swing, mind you, they also probably won't have them on sale until other clubs have had theirs on sale for a month and all Saints-supporting kids see their pals in their latest club kit, so you have a point there.

shull Posted March 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 April to Septemberish Ideal for Fans of all ages to wear their Saints kit. Paying around 60 quid would be no bad value if the weans and others could get wearing it for 6 months instead of a few weeks. Come on Saints. GET EM OUT FOR APRIL THE FIRST. At least the home yin then the change strip at the end of Season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Dickson Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 I agree with Shull. Most retailers put t-shirt on sale in the winter so those who buy the latest styles can wear them all summer. Football waits till most retailers have put t-shirt and Shorts on the sale bin before launching them. That's lunacy especially when the shirt is such an important part of your club branding.

Doakes Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 I actually agree. New kit should come out in April. Would be nice to have a fresh new kit to wear on my summer holiday to Ibiza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santaponsasaint Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 JD say when new strip is put sale. Saints don't really have say. Still trying to sell this year's. But new ones will good ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
div Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Personally speaking I would definitely favour launching the new kits on the last home game of the season as has already been mentioned here and selling them there and then with the players wearing them. Sadly that won't happen because; 1) JD completely control the sale of our strips and dictate when they will launch 2) We aren't allowed to sell our own strips at our own stadium 3) We've sold out our whole stadium to Rangers on the last day of the season We really are an utter basketcase of a club when it comes to simple things like strips. Being able to design our own is great, and we've had some belters over the last few years (as well as the utter abomination that was last season), and I know the training kit and sponsorship is super duper lucrative and that it's all about the money but at the end of the day the kids want to get the new kits for their summer holidays and if there isn't a Saints one there then mum or dad will buy those that are there, and that means Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea etc.... And that means an opportunity lost. I believe next seasons home kit is in some way linked to the 30 year anniversary of the Scottish Cup win. Maybe it's a pinstripe replica, dunno, haven't seen it and I might be talking bollocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shull Posted March 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 April 2017 would be the ideal time for Kit celebrating Scottish Cup Win. Not 29 years later in 2016. Dafties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shull Posted March 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Or even May 16th 2017 for launch. Although I wid prefer April 1st 2017. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mykey Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 They should send those to a certain Brian Caldwell c/o Shrewsbury Town. He was responsible for approving that design. 12/13 strips were crackers, the best we've had since 99/00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shull Posted April 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Thankfully in 1926.1959 and 2013,we wore proper St Mirren strips while winning silverware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank McGarvey' wonky legs Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Hope not. Horrible strip. That is a classic strip and like the Adidas ones of mid 80s head and shoulders above the shite quality we have from JD now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shull Posted April 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Quality is irrelevant. If it isn't proper black and white stripes then it is shite. Dreadful wearing that awful Kit in the Scottish Cup Final in 1987. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callum Gilhooley Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Cracking Strip , but given the fact we will have a version (if true) done by by JD i think we can assume it will be: A. Shite quality B. Two months too late C. Too small to fit humans D. Probably nothing like it !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norrie82 Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Decent strip yes but do.you honestly believe that jd will produce it anywhere near the level of adidas. I'd bet adidas in 1987 has more style and credibility than any cabrini effort now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well st bud Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 if its a tribute to the 87 cup winners will we have clydeside buses advertised on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
