TsuMirren Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Any more info from club about badges falling off? Brothers top has been washed for the first time and the badge is hanging off. I got a refund on my away shirt. I'm awaiting home shirts in XXL being back on stock so I can exchange, but like you I'd like assurances about the badge.

shull Posted July 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 St Mirren - What a fecking laughing stock. When it comes to Kit they are a disgrace and useless. We are talking Football Shirts at FORTY FIVE FECKING POUNDS a pop. Not 3 for 10 pounds T Shirts from Primark which probably last longer.

Really need a comment from the club and Joma, not a good start to our 'Technical Partnership' with Joma. A few mates who are Jags fans have said Joma kits can be a bit iffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shull Posted July 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 THE CLUB HAS TO DITCH JOMA NOW. Just wear last Season's pishy Strip till we get something better organised Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deekthebuddie Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 THE CLUB HAS TO DITCH JOMA NOW. Just wear last Season's pishy Strip till we get something better organised I wish it was that simple but the contracts in place don't generally allow a clause to break for Quality issues, unless issues continue and not rectified to the satisfaction of both parties (club and kit supplier) but for the club and Joma to be keeping silent isn't good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shull Posted July 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Must be Breach of Contract if St Mirren are savvy enough. Ditch them. Joma are shite and we made a cnut of it as usual. .Is Provan Sports still open ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oaksoft Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 I would have thought that potential suppliers would be only too happ for the club to have a sample shirt sent to them so that basic tests such as stability under washing them can be looked at before signing a large and lengthy contract. As a minimum I would expect to be able to test such a sample for colour fading, fabric integrity, shrinkage etc. before signing any contract.

Wish i hadn't bothered, I won't go as far to say she was rude , but certainly could not be bothered with the call or to answer my questions ( which were related to strips / age / availability ) Pain in the arse trying, not going to bother Interestingly, stories like this are the reason why I have yet to hire employees into my company, Your story can be told a thousand times in a thousand different shops up and down the country involving staff who simply cannot understand or care about what true customer service is. Maybe low pay is to blame but I have never personally been in a job where I used the pay to excuse poor performance (and I have been in some crappy jobs in my day). Imagine the effort you go to as a business owner to get things up and running, the cost of setting up, risking your own money etc. You then employ someone. Pay their wages, sick pay, holiday pay, pension, national insurance and taxes and this is how they repay you.

A lot of clubs don't bother with samples, they get they specifications, which are full of gubbins regarding anti-chafing, fabric wicking ability etc and testing regarding the performance and quality is left to the supplier, and sadly the quality of replica kit can be woeful. Time for club and Joma to start talking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Steady on folks. If you criticise the kits some might brand you a Booooooooo boy. Someone give me a nudge when St Mirren enter into a partnership with a 'technical supplier' who are fit for purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a minimum I would expect to be able to test such a sample for colour fading, fabric integrity, shrinkage etc. before signing any contract. The club would have had a sample. The issue is from my theory is that, with the short period between the new kit supplier deal being agreed then the short time frame to turn around a batch of kits in time for the end of June. The JD deal had only expired 3 weeks prior to the new top coming out. The away top catalogue selected, guaranteed a quicker return in production than a customised top would have as Poz and fans council members could confirm, designs are usually signed off mid way through a season for the next (oct/nov). The issue with the badges has been an unfortunate event out of our hands. Joma supply supply kits to teams in the Spanish top flight as well as Swansea and other big teams across the globe so they are a big name. The issue that I have gathered is that not enough heat has been applied during the process of applying the badges, possibly a part of production that Joma pass on to a 3rd party to do.
