Wee Jock Poopong McPlop Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 According to a very reliable source of information which we now call the internet, St.Mirren was the first team in the world to adopt black and white stripes as a kit design. Self evidently, we are not including teams who may have cut about a bit in the 1870s/1880s but are now forgotten. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there were many, if any any clubs in the 1870s or 80s who wore vertical stripes at all regardless of colour. Most football shirts back then were horizontal or plain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Sanchez Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Now, are we not the reason Juventus play in Black and White too...? Did we not give them some strips or something, back in the day...? Andre Pirlo could send me a crate of vino from his vinyard to say thanks for supporting the mighty Buds for 46 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aubrey Maturin Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 A black in white striped strip is very smart actually. A lot of tier 6/7 teams especially in the West seem to go for that apparel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a difference IMO Also since about the millennium it seems, Dunfermline’s shirts have mostly tended to look like the cheapest crap available which they’ve glued the crest and sponsor onto themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
