pod Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 St. Mirren was formed as a gentlemen's club which included, among other sports, cricket and rugby in the second half of the 19th century. The growing popularity of football ensured that by 1877 members had decided to play football association and 1877 Is the official date of the foundation of the football club. They are named after Saint-Mirin, the founder of a church in the place of Paisley Abbey and patron saint of Paisley. There is also a street in Paisley called St. Mirren Street. The club originally wore red and blue stripes, but after a season switched to the current black and white striped shirts, which have been used every bar first season in the 1900's, when they used cups of cream. Table of positions of the annual table of St. Mirren. St. Mirren played his first match on 6 October 1877, defeating Johnstone Britannia 1-0 in Shortroods. Two years later, the club moved to another field; Thistle Park, Greenhills. First match of the St. Mirren Cup came on September 4, 1880, a 3-0 victory over Athletic Johnstone. The following year, the Buddies reached their first Cup final, but were defeated 3-1 at the Thornliebank Renfrewshire Cup. In 1883, however the results were reversed with the Saints winning the Renfrewshire Cup, 3-1 against Thornliebank.
