Sounds like Man City are the team for you? 😉

Proving the point 😉🙏

Agree, great seasons/players can be associated with shit kits, terrible seasons/players can be associated with great kits. When good kits/players/performances coalesce it’s wonderful. My main point isn’t about the kit itself - that’s always going to be subjective - it’s more about moving away from the alternation of stripes and something more disruptive each season. Think most can live with that. Let’s hope we return to the PL.. wearing r&w stripes.

A modern take on this is all I ask…

That’s the point, if they alternated between experimental and traditional kits no one would mind. But they’re not doing that now - just a jumble of poor designs dreamt up by some ponytailed Marketing Exec… I can’t imagine Celtic or Liverpool fans being so delighted at ditching their traditions.

I simply don’t believe that (not disputing you were told it btw), fans who buy kits will generally buy whatever is on offer. I think most fans are happy to see us in traditional r&w stripes. I can tolerate the odd experimental year but going two back-to-back smacks of a move away from that.

Ah the meme… the last bastion of the those with nothing interesting to say. Well done you! 👏👏👏

If anyone can, it’s SFC!

Agreed. It’s not difficult…

We haven’t seen the away kit yet…😉

I’m very happy for it to be sold as a retro shirt, where it belongs. One of our worst ones mind you.

Why would you do that? Seems a bit extreme. It looks just as shit on a mug as it does on a human btw…

You think this is more traditional the red & white stripes? 🤷‍♂️

If you asked a thousand football fans what kit they associate with Southampton FC with what do you think they would say? Red & white stripes or ‘Denmark in the 80s’? You know exactly what I mean - I don’t mind an experiment every other year, or rather tolerate it… but this is two non-traditional (and pretty shitty) kits in a row.

Horrific. Ditched any semblance of our traditions with two aberrations in a row. Danish vanity project by Rasmus and Henrik…

Big fan of Rasmus & Henrik?

I can cope with one ‘traditional year’ (ie r&w stripes), one ‘experimental’ (like last year), but if we’re switching to two consecutive experimental years that’s a little worrying. Losing our identity a bit I fear…

That analysis seems to conflict with what we witnessed with our own eyes…

It’s the collar I think (for me)…

Oh dear… I mean it’s stripes, but a bit ‘non-leaguey’. Let’s hope not, eh? https://www.footballshirtculture.com/new-kits/kilmarnock-fc-2023-24-hummel-home-kit.html

Guess given we sat through a similar number defeats under Jones (albeit punctured by the Everton & Man City wins) before revolting, you might be right, but I also think the last two appointments increase the heat on RM even more, and there will be even greater pressure to get results early.
