I didn't think they were that bad but I'm on PC right now so it's probably awful on phone. I was just joking, but for reference I'm on PC too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I've found the choices that we were given to vote on this year, but as someone mentioned above, we never found out the winner, AFAIA. In all honesty, I can't even remember what I voted for. If I was voting now I'd go either 2/4, and the boring '2' option for the away strip. Option 2 3 4 for the home kits are too similar to recent home kits.Wouldn't mind seeing 1 home and 3 away just for the shits n gigs. Can see the fan base having a melt down at the grey and white stripes though, even though we'd have voted for it [emoji85].Option 3 away is similar in the so bad it's good as the multi coloured matchwinner kit 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 5 hours ago, Ric said: Trust me, your response now was the same from us at the time. It's not _the_ worst strip there's been, trust me many other Scottish clubs are ahead of us in that list, but it's stunning how much of a mess they made of a simple black and white vertical stripe design. As I and others have pointed out, the away strip was just as horrendous. On a side note, could I nominate the fermers for having the most boring strips? Look at them, each and every year they put out an utterly non-entity of a strip. Citation fucking needed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Of course not. But "many" is an exaggeration. That SM is genuinely the most horrible home strip I have seen. Streets behind our chessboard number, even. I give away strips a bit more leeway as experimentation is somewhat encouraged, but even so there's not many worse than that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly can't think of a worse home shirt effort off the top of my head. Didn't both Dundee and Morton have home shirts in the last 10 years that were so utterly shite, the fans managed to get them pulled and redesigned within 48 hours? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I suppose one of the good aspects of going with Castore is that our strips will be bespoke and not a generic template. Rangers fans were contacted a number of months ago to provide suggestions to Castore for next seasons strip and I like that they are asking the fans for their view, but in reality, there will be that many conflicting opinions it probably won't make much of a difference. Personally I'd like to see us get rid of the 5 stars above the badge. They also asked us to specify any old strips they could take inspiration from and I chose the one below. It might look out of place in a modern day football but I absolutely love it! The home top is due for release in June so not long to wait to find out. Bespoke from the company that flogged your fans Asda school jumpers with Castore logos ironed on? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewh Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Do you think you could find smaller images, the ones you posted are far too large! [emoji6] Seriously though, the last two in the away list are dreadful, while (for me) number four for the home strip is the only sensible option. I believe I said the same thing at the time.Definitely home option 4. It just looks right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottmcleanscontacts Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 You are entirely right, you'd think simple black and white vertical stripes were some sort of design voodoo going by some of our dismal efforts. When done well, though, it can look very good. Edit: I could be wrong but the shorts tend to flip between white and black on almost alternate years. I've not checked to confirm that, but it certainly seems to be that way. I think it all depends on the top as to whether they should be white or black.Definitely feel that when you do have white shorts and socks it increases the overall aesthetic.I'm not too sure either but think you have had black for the last 2 or 3 seasons, at least. To be fair, it's not just a St. Mirren problem though, Newcastle seem to regularly make an arse of what should be a simple thing too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted May 28, 2021 Author Share Posted May 28, 2021 Shows how hard it is to get right for manufacturers, as I'd go black shorts with a black and white top every time. Looks far better. Should be white socks though. ^ Is much better than v 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 A couple of years ago, County had a poll for the home kit, and a vile tartan number won. Turned out they actually wore the kit that came second in the poll, which wasn’t much nicer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
