Jockmd Posted June 10, 2023 Report Share Posted June 10, 2023 As the players step out on to the pitch, the kids are there waving flags coloured, black, white and ...red in equal portions. When did 'red' become a standard colour other than the colour of the numbers on the back of the shirts. Our colours and BLACK and WHITE.

TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted June 10, 2023 Report Share Posted June 10, 2023 I’ve been watching St. Mirren since 1976 and the club colours have ALWAYS been Black, White and Red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSS Posted June 10, 2023 Report Share Posted June 10, 2023 I’ve always wondered why people say black and white? Why is it never white and black? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the same reason people don't say 'chips and fish'... Anyway, I partially agree with the opening poster, but also partially agree with @TPAFKA Jersey 2. Our main colours are black and white, with red being far less significant, but still an integral part of the club's identity. In any flag, red should be a minor constituent, comprising say 10% with black and white making up 45% each.

StanleySaint Posted June 10, 2023 Report Share Posted June 10, 2023 Never minded the red on our kit or as an away colour, our badge has red, yellow and blue on it so all could be used. I don't like our unique badge just being monochrome on our newer away kits mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I remember the bar scarves back in the day that were black with a thinner white bar and then an even thinner red bar inside the white one. Things like club ties always had red in them too. Put it this way, if some asked me what colours St. Mirren play in I would always say black and white stripes, but if someone asked me what are St. Mirren’s club colours, I would always say black, white and red.

portmahomack saint Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 Keep it traditional Black n White only for our home top think any touch of red spoils it and looks YUK Keep red and any other colours for the away top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doakes Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 If you look back at our kits since the club were founded, black white and red are the most recurring colours St Mirren - Historical Football Kits (historicalkits.co.uk) Website is black white and red I'd say the colours we can use are black, white, red, yellow and purple, based on badge/branding etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
