ancientsaint Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Might have gone down well with our friends across the world IF there was some logo or sponsor from Eskesihir on it - But good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin James Is On Stilts Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Black and red.. On official site, a bit far if you ask me! Smart strip though Possibly a bit far, but at the end of the day the fans asked and the club delivered. Good work Saints. And a nice wee change from the usual away kits we've had in recent years. I'll be getting one Scobby_SJFC and fergiefootball 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave mc Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Much better than canary yellow imo, will probably buy it, for my first away top.Nice gesture by the club,anyone that was there will be fully behind it I'm sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widge Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 We've ony worn our away kit about 5 times this season so no problem by me. It's a season only thing to appeal to fans, go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjfcsteve Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) What an excellent idea! Our away shirts range from yellow, to white to sky-blue to tartan to maroon for the 125 year season and even that purple and green/grey one, so why not try something different for a season? It's a great tribute to the Es-Es fans and a lovely reminder of a wonderful European trip. I doubt that away shirts usually sell very much so this has the potential to be a good money maker for the club. I cannot see why it is not a good thing that St.Johnstone fans went to the other side of Europe and had such a great time and formed friendships with the Es-Es fans that they want to recognise this bond? With headlines usually dedicated to Rangers fans smashing up Manchester, Dynamo Moscow and Dundee United fans brawling or Spurs fans being attacked abroad, I for one am glad that our club is doing something that shows how great football can be at bringing people together to have a fantastic time. The doom and gloom merchants on here might not like it but I will be buying one, something I very rarely do for an away shirt so I am sure the sales figures will mean this shirt will be a success.

SaintDougie Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Well done Kev Heller, this is a great tribute to our Friends in Turkey and a smart strip to boot. I can see why some may see this as being strange but those of us that were lucky enough to have been in Turkey last year and are still in contact with some of the friendly people we met can fully understand this great gesture.

Nelly78 Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) Great gesture and it will be the first away shirt in about 15 years that I will buy. I think you probably had to be in Turkey to fully appreciate this. I've been to over 25 Scotland away games, plus Vaasa and Monaco, but they were all blown away by Eskisehir. Everyone we met in the city, not just the football supporters, was so friendly and welcoming. The sheer positivity of their support was infectious as well. I'd love to see Saints fans, and Perth as a whole, being as positive and passionate about THEIR team as the people of Eskisehir, but sadly I can't ever see that happening. We, as a nation, seem to love moaning and putting everything down too much!

ex-montrosesaintee Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 There are a few fans at every club who would rather football was associated with hooliganism, sectarian chanting, hatred and abuse, because its football and its about blokes being hard. Start to make a genuine gesture like this and the alarm bells start ringing. Well done Saints, and well done to the non Neanderthal fans.

rik2304 Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Nice idea. Might be getting that now. Don't usually go for the modern day kits. Prefer my retro ones. But I like the sentiment. HOODLUM65 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Mikey Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 No being pedantic in anyway but the sleeves are the wrong colour if we are adopting EsEs home kit. I'm sure their sleeves were black with black collar trim and not red. Good work, and if that's sorted then brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiangsu Sainty Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 I like it. Although I like this year's away kit too, the new one is much better than some of the recent ones which look more like training tops. Wouldn't surprise me if Saints/Joma tried to pair it with the current home short/socks though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Special One Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Can understand people's view of thinking it might be a bit far. Had to be in turkey to see it was something special between the clubs. Great idea for next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Saints Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 I wasn't in Turkey but I can fully appreciate the fact that, regardless of the Saints-Eskisehirspor friendship, it looks miles better than any away top we have produced for many years. nips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garydavidson Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Had to be in turkey to see it was something special between the clubs. I was only at the home leg and I got enough of an impression from it. Concerning having their badge on it - I doubt that would be allowed unless we saught UEFA/FIFA approval. Sure they could print the name somewhere though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
