I have no idea who Sidmirren is but he's got you "rattled" as you like to call it. It's funny you use that word as there is also a breed of snake which is fond of "rattling".

StanleySaint Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 It was a horrible kit and looking back I believe it was responsible for decline from 1987, see also the barcode strip which had a similar effect 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said it was a pin stripe for the Scottish Cup victory. The truth is out there… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The truth is out there… There is clearly an optimum stripe thickness for success, pin stripe perhaps being a negligible varaiable but too many thin stripes being an issue for players maybe lije the old checked suits on newsreaders effect on tv in the past?

I loved the away from that year and relatives have commented that in most family photographs of that period, I have my home and away St. Mirren full strips on.
