They also use Macron, and playing friendlies in last seasons kits. I doubt it'll be mid-August as I'm not even sure we could use last seasons kits competitively, depends on sponsorships and how many we have left, as the official font/numbering has changed. I think common sense will prevail there are delays in supplying the kit so they will be more than content with the last year kit being used. look at the number of times a team plays the cup final etc in a new kit so does not need to be the same all year round dispensation can be granted. 1 hour ago, Cagey said: Explain please.

I think there are bigger clubs than saints having problems. Barcelona wont get the new kit until september looking to sue Nike for millions. 1 hour ago, Cagey said: I would imagine as long as we played in club colours,we could play in a t shirt & underpants. Do we not have the same sponsor as last season ?.  Not sure on sponsor but I am sure they could put a patch over the sponsor if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, in the current times, I'm sure those rules could bend a bit. I get the arguments from some that doesnt matter what strips we wear etc, however, it is another revenue stream for the club and it always amazes me how unprepared we are each season. Kit should be out before holidays and would sell more if it was. Again, Covid-19 likely to have an impact this year, but given we have the same manufacturer and sponsor, could have been sorted out long ago. In fact, probably an easy task when someone working from home. Generally clubs possibly missing a trick here. Either get a kit out early and market it as helping the club etc OR, stick with the same kit and make a play on understanding finances are tight and giving fans value for money on getting 2 seasons out of a kit. Finally, if club does have dead stock of old kit and training tops etc, like we always do, give it away for free to renewing season ticket holders or set up a strip bank, where folk can collect stuff for free or a small donation to the youth fund. Better still, get them in a pack for each if the new houses being built all over perth, with a free Saints season ticket or saints tv included. Havana Saint and shiresaint 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to "register" your kits with the authorities months before the season starts, by emailing them a photo/sketch. You can only wear "registered" kits in league games. Presumably last seasons kits will forever be registered so as long as we update the font/numbers to the new style then they'd be fine. Only issue would be sponsors, but if we've kept the same sponsorship deals, then there's no issues. Cagey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not a normal year and I would expect the Club will be in discussion with the SPFL  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50yrs a Saint Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 Authorities have altered the transfer window for this season, so I've no doubt that they would give clubs leeway if there are difficulties with new strips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your comments regarding Covid 19 in relation to my comment are distasteful, opportunistic and promote alienation. Let's move on shall we.  Deary me.    Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picked up some great stuff over the years. Pity they stopped doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cristo Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 I see in the two friendlies against Hibs and Dons we've worn the same yellow/blue/blue combo.

Rob Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 They probably just have more of the away kit. Maybe we will get a new home kit for the start of the season and have to wait a while for an away kit. I do think we are slow off the mark every season and do miss a trick getting them out at the start of Summer or earlier. These should coincide with t shirt weather in Scotland. I completely understand pandemic delays and bigger issues in the world but pretty sure if other clubs can release images then surely Saints could. Even a mocked up visual would be something.  Havana Saint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the home kit I'd be more than happy with something simple like the Macron kits United and Hibs have gone with. Don't mind going a bit more 'out there' with the away kit, though. Hopefully at the very least it can be something other than yellow or white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
