Cagey Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Dunfermline & QoS have announced they have allowed all but 3 players to leave but they have still revealed next season's strip. Is there any idea yet what Saints are doing about a strip & sponsor for next season ?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saints might be so broke it may come down to players actually performing sponsored strips........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widge Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Given the length of time they’ve now potentially got, they really shouldn’t screw this up. Why not ask fans for suggestions or put it to a poll. We’re not going to be playing until at least August, and presumably the production, distribution and manufacturing  can happen right now so it’s not already been done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already have that in place, Macron was a 2 year deal, so all you’re looking for is a new set of strips. All the training gear will be off the shelf stuff and probably already done. I’d say a couple of weeks to design a kit is probably an acceptable amount of time if they’ve already got templates. Let’s face it you’re only going to need to produce 40/50 strips originally for the players to wear and then the replicas can follow later on once mass produced. Cagey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the position on sponsor ?. Can't even remember who last season's was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one year in to a 2 or 3 year contract with Macron but given that Macron are not listing us a partner club. https://www.macron.com/uk/en/content/sponsorship Saints leisure supplier Pitch Teamwear are still listing Saints there : https://www.pitchteamwear.com/page/special-offers You never know maybe Kirsten has contacts with Nike who she got for Killie vis black leisure group who also ran the club shop Edited May 24, 2020 by mainstand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MySpazz Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Looking forward to seeing a macron kit with the new logo on it, but if anyone wants older kit, see my link  https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/m.html?_odkw=&_ssn=emilychops&hash=item28011faa8f&item=171817544335&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2046732.m570.l1313.TR10.TRC2.A0.H0.Xst+johnstone.TRS0&_nkw=st+johnstone&_sacat=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outatimecow Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 I see Ayr Utd did what we should be doing, going down the nostalgia route with some retro kits. This one is class, same away top we also had back in the day! Anyone got any updates on our kits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted June 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 Still no word on strips. Maybe going to stick with last season's. Don't suppose we sell many replica strips anyway. That is the only reason to change every season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mainstand Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) Have a look at the video released about Callum joining shows you inside the kit room but not sure if that is a new kit or the old kits that are on coat hangers. Think the old one. The website for our teamwear partner is still saying they are closed. So not sure how or if this will impact on us. Edited June 18, 2020 by mainstand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Saints sell a lot. May be wrong. They quite often need to change kit because there's a change of sponsor or manufacturer too. I know we're sticking with Macron next season but are Binn still going to be the sponsor? The old kit is all reduced online, which suggests to me that there will be a new one. I think if the current one was going to last for two seasons, we'd have been told about it at the time. It's very, very unusual these days for a kit to be kept for two seasons. It's been 20 years since Saints last did that. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some teams have struggled to get their hands on the kit due to lockdown preventing them being shipped in from Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 Always the last when it comes to stuff like this. We'll probably be the last in the country to announce the new kit. These need to be out and in the shops earlier when the weather is decent. Might actually get more sales of replica kit that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers and Celtic have still to officially launch their stuff yet aswell.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
