Guest TPAFKATS Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 It's not about an 'old' or 'new' strip, it's about IDENTITY. - what people recognized as a St Mirren strip. If the club can't come back to ask the fans their opinion on something as basic as this then the concept of community club is a facade.It's a black and white striped football top with a St. Mirren badge on the chest. Not sure what more it needs for identity.In over 40 years we've always had this with 3 (?) exceptions - 87 Cup winning Jersey, the tribute to it a couple of seasons ago and the half and half blackburn effort from the 90s.As you'd expect there are variations on the number of stripes from season to season. This year's is similar to my favorite from the 80s, the Adidas one with 2 black stripes and a graham's buses logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, it's a moot point. The season's strips a nowhere near as poor as that season's efforts. Of course not really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you'd expect there are variations on the number of stripes from season to season. This year's is similar to my favorite from the 80s, the Adidas one with 2 black stripes and a graham's buses logo. As you've discovered reading these pages there are differing opinions on what constitutes a 'St Mirren' strip. What I drew attention to at the very beginning of this thread was our 'Rangers' styled socks we had last season which, for me, was outside the confines of what most of us would consider as being 'St Mirren'. Regarding the jersey, your preference is for the two stripe design - fine. My preference is for more stripes. As with succeeding generations, the choice tends to gravitate into tradition and modernity on how designs emerge. Clearly, in recent years the modern (perhaps driven by commercialism) design has been uppermost in the club's choice. As I've said all along, whatever strip is decided upon, let the fans contribute to that decision. No big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stlucifer Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 Grudgingly, I think the club may have got this right. I hate the strip but I am 62 years old so unlikely to wear it. My grandson loves it. He will be getting it ASAP. If it transpires that this is the norm then they've hit their target audience. He isn't quite so keen on the away strip but still wants it.

Guest TPAFKATS Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 Hitching a ride with a passing bandwagon. Should generate a lot of positive publicity and potential for significant additional income. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
