Probably because at the time Ajax were doing it with ABN AMRO on their shirt and it looked cool as f**k. Jim Dick Was overheard calling Stirling Albion a pub team when talking to an ex team mate who was playing with the Albion in the late 90's, naturally didn't go down well with the fans of my local side, any match he played against them afterwards he got absolute pelters, deservedly so. Never has a surname been more appropriate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be wrong but that looks to me like the all bench arena that was Kilbowie Park, Clydebank. A very odd ground to say the least but I actually quite liked it. The Steedmans really were a bunch of b*****ds who killed that club selling the ground from under them with no interest in building a new stadium, pocketed the cash and left them to rot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before my time but did they play as ES Clydebank for a season before Shire were readmitted to the SFL ? Sure I recall reading that somewhere 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 ES Clydebank played in the league in 1964/65, before the takeover was reversed the following year. Clydebank then entered the league in 1966. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 In my opinion, St Mirren’s best looking sponsor logo was Kelvin Homes on the all-black ‘Paisley pattern’ kit, with the worst one, by a country mile, the huge JD Sports ‘king of trainers’ shield on the multi-stripe kiddie’s pirate costume kit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to agree with you on that one. Odd that the away shirt that year, horrific as it is, had the same sponsor logo but in different colours and looked so much better than the sponsor on the home kit: My mate was on a stag do in Spain and one of the days they did a "full-kit wankers" day out - with a few days to go he didn't have anything so went into a JD and came out with this whole kit for about £12. Even with the washed-out effects of the stripes at the top of the shirt it's still miles better than the home kit was that year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulbrucerick Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Definitely an age thing as I think of this as Killie, closely followed by A Plant which was the start of Killiies rise to the Premier. It's not fondly remembered by fans I think, the hooped top I mean. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
