Joma get allot of stick but they deserve allot of credit for giving so many despoke kits, many of which are decent IMO. 

 

It's almost identical to Atalantas last season.

I love the away strip.  Them with a proper black pair of boots with the 3 adidas stripes and that'll be an unbeatable combination...

 

Well done to all involved.

Why would you have such an excellent front then make the back black ? It's like you cant afford to make both sides the same. Totally bizarre it would have sold like hot cakes had both sides been the same. Can see it looking ok on the pitch with white numbers and white letters .  If I wear a top it will be the King sponsor back to front the same. Missed opportunity Saints to be one of the best selling tops of all time. Bring back Poz.

Supposedly black back with gold detailing.

When you say 'gold detailing' on the back, what are you referring to? The numbers?

[AberdeenHibee]

Thank you St Mirren for being to Hearts what we have been to Rangers in recent years.  Wonderful work. 

Thank you for John McGinn as well (I never have said this before, but very much worth throwing in).

I'd guess white numbers with a gold trim.

That sounds very stylish! I'm thinking I'll get my two digit St. Mirren number printed on the back, and perhaps have it framed at the end of the season along with the certificate. 

I suppose it depends on the kind of season we have, though...

I think it might actually look OK with a black back - when you see the players in it with white names and numbers. Could look more than a bit ‘Juve’, which isn’t a bad thing. I quite like it, think it will look good ‘in the flesh’.

I agree. The stripes on the front and sleeves are bang on, I really like it. If the back is all black with white numbers and names I'll be delighted because (being ancient) player identification has become a major bugbear for me. Ok, it'll only be an issue this coming season if we are ever allowed back into the ground to watch the match !!

In previous years our kit with stripes on the back and red numbers and names were impossible for me to decipher, even fairly close up.

Help the aged !!!

Why thank you... however... while I am firmly in the ‘stripes on the back’ camp, I always liked this Hummel shirt with the black back. I think with the black shorts and mostly black socks, this new Joma kit will look pretty damn good with a black back.

I'm not too bothered about the plain back. We had plain backs for years due to the old SPL rules saying that you had to have a plain back or pay extra money for bespoke numbers.

I figured they meant we’d be using gold letters & numbers like this

Couldn’t see this anywhere else online, enjoy [emoji19]

The Germans have got the audio of the crowd spot on singing, claps for good moves , shouts when fouls.  Certainly 100% better than when there was no audio when their league campaign kicked off. Wonder if this will be introduced to our games.

They'll pipe in that one sweary guy that they always have to apologise for.

I see Livi are chasing Jakubiak as well as ourselves. I’d like to think we’d be able to compete with them on signings but you never know.

Piped booing to make the boys feel at home ( thought I'd get this in before the Dundee or Saintees)

Not so sure. If they sell Dykes I'm guessing they could use that money to offer him a better deal.

He also has offers from the land of milk and honey if the press is to be believed.
