St Johnstone’s all-blue kit is here to stay, after the change in appearance coincided with an upturn in form.
The Perth side have only lost once since the switch from white shorts was made for the McDiarmid Park clash with Hearts back in February.
There have been three wins and a draw, with Rangers the only team to emerge victorious since Callum Davidson gave a thumbs-up to the new look.
And given that run of form and the fact the Saints boss has happy memories of full-blue from his playing days, he will be sticking with it for the rest of the Premiership campaign.
Nostalgia and superstition
“It was John (McDougall) the kit man who had the idea,” Davidson revealed.
“He suggested we go all-blue (against Hearts) and we won the game.
“I do like it so we’ll be sticking with it until the end of the season.
“I’ve got good memories of playing in an all-blue kit in my first spell as a player here. I’ve still got one in the house.

“John is pleased as well because it means he doesn’t have to get mud out of the white shorts!”
Saints’ last full season in blue socks, shorts and tops was 2010/11.
