St Mirren legends help unveil new home strip voted for by supporters ahead of opening pre-season game

The Buddies had a helping hand from some former club legends as they finally unveiled their new home strip for the upcoming 2022/23 campaign.

St Mirren fans have been waiting patiently for a first glimpse of the new kit as other Premiership clubs have been revealing their own tops in recent weeks.

This afternoon the Saints revealed their home kits for the new season, which was donned by current Saints men, women's and youth team players as well former Saints stars Hugh Murray, Tony Fitzpatrick and Steven Thompson.

It will get a first run out in tonight's pre-season clash against Crusaders in Belfast, with SMISA hopeful that one day Buddies will be able to submit their very own kit designs to put to the vote.

A SMISA spokesperson explained: "In November we gave SMISA members the chance to vote for the home kit for the forthcoming season 2022/23.

"Manufacturers Joma presented three options, all of which incorporated the globally-recognised Paisley Pattern, the iconic fashion design which took our town's name around the world.

"In total 566 members voted and it was strip number two that was the clear winner, polling 346 votes. Design number one received 112 votes and design number three 103.

"The team will wear the new strip for the first time this evening in their first pre-season friendly away to Crusaders.

"And the kit has now been officially launched, with legends Tony Fitzpatrick, Steven Thompson and Hugh Murray joining players from the men's, women's and youth teams to model the chosen design.

"SMISA would like to thank Joma and Provan Sports for giving our members this opportunity and also our members for taking the time to vote.

"We are already in discussions about carrying out a similar exercise next season and also looking at the possibility of inviting members to design their own kits at a future date too. "
