Or we are saving money and the actual away top will be soothing out there like the old Demin kit a good few seasons ago. In any case, I get St Mirren doing it last season ( it was more of a patterend kit than just a black shirt) but shouldn't there be rules in place to make sure the chnage kit doesn't clash with the home? Or is that just too much common sense for scottish football? It’s too much sense for Scottish football. The authorities thought Livingston’s white and black kits were fine, which they clearly werent, when they played us. I like our black away kits, but I’m also in the camp that says if our traditional home colours are black and white, then our away colours should be red, or yellow, or something. The authorities are OK with us going down the black route though, so when I was designing ours for 2012/13, I did a predominantly all-black away kit with the red diagonal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can look quite smart on an away or third kit. I'm the same, I don't mind a monochrome badge, it has to be for a reason and to suit a certain motif, but yeah.. no probs with a monochrome badge. Although I would prefer if it was on the away top, rather than the home. 1 hour ago, Phillips455 said: In any case, I get St Mirren doing it last season ( it was more of a patterend kit than just a black shirt) but shouldn't there be rules in place to make sure the chnage kit doesn't clash with the home?

I am sure there are some, like @craigkillie who will probably be able to tell you the actual rules, but from the outside it seems to be the case that clubs are given some leeway by the strip manufacturers and they all tend to go for things that won't clash with a nod to the club's traditional colours. That seems to be thrown out the window with the OF though, who as we've seen, don't really seem to care about the strips other than political/religious signalling or merchandising revenue, in which case if it clashes, tough luck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great kits that season. Our last season of a major domestic honour! Get Poz back in charge of strip design. I would like to see an away top like this with the Paisley pattern design included. What a player too! Edited July 12, 2023 by Molotov 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume @pozbaird was meaning the 12/13 away top, in which case... isn't this a sash? I'll not lie, I quite liked this strip at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played with Cheesy at a St Mirren golf event back then, and he told me the team loved that strip, so good enough for me. Definitely a red diagonal by the way. Absolutely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's rumours (as there is every year) that our home kit this year will be white. Interesting to see what happens with St Mirren if we have white home and black away 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
