Yes, should have been past tense there. Odd how due to administration we continued to use that same kit for two years.

We had done well to hold out from yearly kit changes for so long. It's a shame we have followed suit, but inevitable.

This is true, but you could probably manage to get something that does better then an 18% approval rate. (Like it will buy + like it won't buy) Yes, a fair few people like it. But 18%, regardless of the number of people who make up that proportion, is a serious minority. That only 15% are down as 'don't cares' also shows that this is something that does matter to the average fan.

As far as the #saveourstripes group is concerned, that's part of the deal.

Yep. Sh*te.

The poll is a separate and pertinent issue.

We still have the girl next door.

Go to bed!

Considering that our points are self cancelling (new kits sell regardless/the kits are liked therefore they sell) we will never agree/resolve. Goodnight.

Game on b*tch.

You have failed on so many levels. The kits will sell regardless.

Don't forget children..... Parents are sheep on their behalf. (Yes, I know you were being sarcastic....)

Rank Xerox kits all round!!!

No, that was true, and it was Lotus Cars. Not red bull, hence the gold. aap3, by default, came back in at the last minute after things broke down.

Would agree with that. (As a concept)

You are as bad as my other half. I come on here to escape that sh*t.

Damn straight!

Dear me, he has crashed and burned.

It's not the be all and end all. People do buy them as they are the team kit... as opposed to personal preference. I do stand by the stats too. I've never known a kit to sell 'badly,' the latest kits sell. It's a fact. It doesn't determine how good and well regarded they are though. The campaign I started is all about preference rather then sales figures. All signs point to stripes being desired, wanted and therefore preferred.

As many fans wear the shirts because they are what the team wear, rather then what they like, it's not a true representation. I should know, i'm one of them.

Doesn't matter. It's about what the majority of fans want. There's nothing to say a striped shirt wouldn't be equally as popular. It's disingenuous to suggest that a less popular design would sell better then one that evidently is.

It's always the ride, not destination.....

The winners of XFactor sell a sh*t load, it doesn't mean they are reflective of the music talent pool in the UK. There is an indisputable majority who prefer Saints to wear stripes. Not wanting to disrespect anyone who holds an alternate view, it's going to happen. I respect that others feel differently, but all core stats point to stripes being the preferred option.

Raw statistics rather then shouting. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/ And this from an entirely separate entity. It backs up the polls that have been held here.

Spain beat Italy on Penalties...... Cruel.
