That article clearly not referencing the centenary kit, calm down. Obviously a reference to the all red abortions Cortese foisted on us in the Premier League.
Still, the experts on the forum said we had to make a choice between "precious stripes" and success on the pitch because apparently the two were linked, not least because of the "scientific proof" that plain was better, and of course the millions and millions of fans in "the far east" who became instant Saints fans when we started to wear plain red. Them experts knew what they were talking about, and no mistake.
