Is it 'late November' yet?? :roll:

[Chansey]

[Real Madrid]

If its much latter how is Santa going to buy all his,? whats the shipping time to Lapland ?

[lethamsaintee]

even though my name is on it, i wont be buying it, what a waste of money.

[Rodgers]

Xara are allways late, we have just got our ballboy tracksuits and we ordered them at the start of the season :shock:

[Scobby_SJFC]

Xara is a total disgrace and saints should find a new kit supplier

Easy saying that, but as has been discussed in previous incarnations of the forum, we get Xara kit for nothing (in fact they may even pay us to wear it???). whereas it is upwards of

[Tranmere Saintee]

The amazing thing is that Xara have so far manged to produce 2 limited edition Saints leisure tops since the summer but not the away top - if I was a cynic..................... :roll:

John, not sure what you mean with that sort of answer but there a plenty of folk on here who are fed up with the hollow promises we get from Xara and the club about when these shirts are going to be available. People have already paid

Did we not used to make our own strips at one point? The St Johnstone Collection (or something like that) springs to mind.

Aye but the room where they made them under the Main Stand got turned into the players family lounge, and Aggies hands wir in ruin with all the sewing.

Sort of, I think the company who made them might have been called Premier Sports (feel free to correct me on this), they made the strips with a 'The Saints Collection' logo on them. This gave the appearance that we were making our own line of sports wear but in reality they were doing the same thing for a lot of other clubs too (Raith Rovers for one).

The point is that we have been over this and Saints will not be changing from Xara.
The "YAWN" was me saying that I was not going to repeat what has been said already.
This thread will run and run with people saying Nike, TFG ......
It WILL still be Xara next year.

The St Johnstone collection was the same guy that now does Xara.

[David]

A lot of the problem is with presentation, to be honest. If the fans were told there would be two new strips a season, with one available at the start of the campaign and the other at Christmas, nobody would complain too much - as long as it was consistent from one season to the next.

It would be more of a problem to get an away strip in December this year then a new one in July all of a sudden.

To be fair Scobby (and others) are new... he wont know the story behind why it's beneficial to be with Xara...

They pay us, to wear the tops and provide all teh team's kits, training gera etc for free... no-one else would be nearly that good and they would mena Saints paying out a fortune to stock everything and deal with everything.

XARA MAKE THE NIKE STRIPS :oops:

[wee john]

Not all of them ofcourse but they have a contract to make Nike shirts in the Xara factory in Egypt.
Barcelona & Juve, to name drop, were made by Xara.

[jinky]

Well nike still stink.
Anyone got a crow bar to help get my foot out my mouth? :oops:

[Broggy Man]

The xara strips are fine as far as it goes i think the only problems the fans have is with delivery dates.

[Chansey]

Anyone know if you can get a stip witout the names on it, it seems the away strips we play in presently have no names on them..... :?:

[saintbear]

thuoght the saints collection was a cracking idea
but it is all down to money,but the away strip saga is boring and beyond a joke

[saint_markperth]

either thzat or its a clever xmas marketing ploy at mcd

Qos got nike why cant saints!!

[chopper]

Qos got nike why cant saints!!

No they didnae for a start - Aberdeen, Queens and Stranraer buy their strips from a company in Newcastle thus costing them money!!!

As for Nike, Xara make their shirts too - or do people forget to read these parts of posts :roll:

[Calinho]

Arnt QOS a part time club? so why can they afford it but saints can

I think the point is that pretty much all clubs smaller than Saints have to buy their own kits - in the case of QoS and a couple of others, they've chosen to buy a Nike one. Saints could probably afford to do this in theory, but there is little sense in doing it when, as a bigger club, we're able to get a deal with a manufacturer (Xara) who provide our kit free of charge.

[wee john]

The kit Saints get from Xara FOC amounts to a 5 figure sum.
Xara will also give Saints over 10k in royalties from shirt sales this season.

Got a letter in the post this morning, away jerseys on sale at asda from 4pm on Thursday 1st December. "Our manager, Owen Coyle and several first team players will be in attendance".

They'll be around 1000 avaliable for sale, adult costs 26.97, youth 23.97.

[Watty]

FROM FISHAL SITE:
The Club are pleased to announce that new away jersey will be launched next Thursday, 1st December. Owen Coyle and some of the players will be in attendance at Asda in Dunkeld Road at 4pm which again will be the only retail outlet for the kit although the jerseys will be available on-line via the club website.

Adult jerseys will be 26.97 and youths 23.97.

Around 1,000 jerseys have been manufactured but demand is expected to be high given the fact that the names of those season ticket holders who chose to be included plus others who paid, will have their names in the fabric of the jersey so supporters are urged to buy quickly.

[Chansey]

are the names on all the tops, or can they be purchased witout names on them?

[wee john]

all tops

[Tranmere Saintee]

are the names on all the tops, or can they be purchased witout names on them?

Why would you want to buy one without our names on it? :?

[True Saintee]

About time n all :D

p.s yes i am only posting this to hav the pleasure of being the 500th poster in saints chat :twisted:

[Real Madrid]

Gannochy under 17's have a nike kit so just because we have one that does not mean that Saints have to have one

[Chansey]

Just my taste really, i like certain things kept basic, i like the top with no names on it, i haven't seen it with names on it though, and seeing as i wont have my name on it, i was wondering if any were availablee nameless.

[blueheaven]

Does anyone know for certain whether or not the version worn by the players has the names on it?

[Chansey]

looking at the programme from the clyde game last week, with Hannah's interview it looks very muck like they haven't......that can't be a certain answer however!

[Hazel1884]

The one just now? No!
