Past. Present. Future.
The 2023/24 Home Kit has been inspired by the club’s historic time period of 1979-81 as the new release pays homage to the kit worn in the Anglo-Scottish Cup as well as the club’s first ever match in Europe. The nostalgic design intentionally connects our past, present and future. The success of our proud past drives forward the passion felt today, motivating us to move forward and continue St Mirren’s legacy.
St Mirren players celebrate their first trophy of note in 21 years when they easily disposed of Bristol City in the Anglo-Scottish final at Love Street in April 1980. Doug Somner scored twice, the other goal coming from Alan Logan. Their elated manager, Jim Clunie, said: "We can now build on this success…The fans were simply magic, simply tremendous."

Introducing The Connected Kit
The latest strip has the classic style of a 'V' neck shape and sophisticated gold badge marking technical kit partner, Macron. Chevrons run down the shirt sleeves comparable with the vintage top from 1979-81. The standout feature is our iconic check pattern, glorified from the renowned St Mirren crest. The chequered design originated from the Royal Stewart family who founded the Paisley Abbey in 1163. Their coat of arms is represented by the club’s blue-and-white check and now, in the 2023/24 kit.
To wear the 2023/24 St Mirren Home Kit is to pay respect to our origin, our past and to our town, which was the beginning of our team. It signifies that by standing side by side, together as a family, we will play and support one another with honour. By respecting our heritage, we stay connected as we grow and strengthen.
Country Manager for Macron, Andrea Palilla, had promised the team wear collection would "draw on St Mirren’s glorious past" and the release hopefully meets fans expectations.
St Mirren Chief Operating Officer, Keith Lasley, said: "Great attention to detail has been taken to create a home kit that keeps to tradition while also incorporating a fresh look to represent our ambitious future. To inspire future success, we have reflected to our past to see how far we’ve come, and we have done it together as a family.
We hope our fans can see and appreciate the lineage and evolution that has inspired the 2023/24 St Mirren Home Kit and the powerful connection linking past, present and future."
