It can look quite smart on an away or third kit. The St Mirren one would be better if the badge had the pink and black reversed though. I'm in that minority too - on a home kit it's a cardinal sin, but on an away kit I don't really have an issue with it provided it doesn't totally ruin the crest itself. 3 minutes ago, Fide said: No gonnae lie, i quite like it. It's a grower. I'm fine with it being a bit mad. I think away kits should be a bit wild from time to time. Give me a traditional-looking home kit and a wild away/third kit every time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking of the Killie design, I do actually like that there is a motif there. It's a nice touch of history being referenced, however is there any evidence that he actually supported Killie? I checked wiki and it seems he was a Darvel man. Have Killie "stolen" an icon? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Links to Killie, being one of 2 noble prize winners educated at Kilmarnock Academy, John Boyd Orr being the other, the clubs schools education program, penicillin and their charity partners at Crosshouse Hospital childrens unit. Imo, thou the idea has good intentions the final result is poor. Hopefully wearing it away from home will prove the cure for last seasons poor form .

If it's me, I don't think it's an odd question to ask. There is a Kilmarnock link, but is there any actual proof that he supported the club? Him not supporting the club shouldn't change the club highlighting his achievements. Just wondering if there was a more explicit link. I mean, if you wish to flip that around to my club, the Paisley pattern we all know is an old Persian pattern from the 16th century, in turn a company in Paisley was the first in Britain to try and copy it (or at least were the most successful in copying it) but I don't think we could claim anyone supported the club, if only because it didn't exist at the time! -5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I think the Kilmarnock away strip is ok, it might not be Kilmarnocky enough for their fans but as a stand alone strip it looks good. The St Mirren away looks good as well, might need to see it live to be sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not you Ric. From what's been discussed on our own forum.... The original idea was a member of staff at the club. Hummel then produced a proof using a generic symbol. This was then altered to the proper symbol and double checked with several chemistry professors by one of our supporters who normally has a big input with our strips then released. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As if it wasn’t bad enough Hibs having images of the ‘iconic’ steelwork of their stands on a shirt, Killie have a tribute to penicillin on theirs, because Fleming studied in Kilmarnock. I’ve seen some shite in my time… maybe the pink bits on ours are in tribute to calamine lotion. Hopefully we do one next year in tribute to the other nobel prize winner from the same school.

We're at home, we should wear the stripes. If Sellick and Livvy can't come up with a 3rd kit Saints should just say "fine, here are some red bibs". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The authorities thought Livingston’s white and black kits were fine, which they clearly werent, when they played us. It's not uncommon these days to see referees wearing the same colours as one of the goalkeepers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's annoying. Keepers themselves seem to frequently have a shade that's similar to the opposition's strip but just different enough. Given the amount of colours and shades available now it's ridiculous there is anything close to a clash at all. Still, it probably won't be long before UEFA & FIFA have all games played with one team in all white and the other in all black. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
