Actually, this.

I sincerely doubt he is off to Sociedad.

Nice shirt that.

Ha! 10/10 for trying at least!

Not wrong! It is a start though, the same poll you quoted also revealed 60% not wanting it and not buying it. A similar poll on the echo website with a far greater sample rate also revealed 60% wanting stripes. It's a marathon not a sprint, from the smallest acorns, every journey begins with one step... #cliché.

Jesus, thought you had typed Alan Carr for a minute.

Slightly different. That's just a page. Save our Stripes is a group. Currently SoS is on 214 members. Considering that 395 people here have voted 'Don't like, won't buy,' that's reasonable at this stage. 500 or so people like the Guly page. But hey, SoS has only been going for a week. Was surprised yet pleased to see that #saveourstripes was being used on Twitter today.

Ha! You are kidding me, someone actually created that?

It's the principle of wanting Saints to wear stripes. That's the core of it. No stipulation in the group of how any protest should be held, just a focal point to increase the profile of that. To make it utterly clear, I am not berating anyone. It is absolutely not my place to criticise how any fan behaves. I just want to see the desire of a majority of the fanbase prevail.

This is true. However, if the shirt's sales figure will never be released and the designs are possibly reflecting the whim of someone who believes that the all red approach is a good idea for various 'reasons'.... then a boycott may not have any impact whatsoever. Club insider: "We havn't sold 'x' numbers of shirts..... a shame, but at least for 'y' reason the primarily red design is worthwhile." Other methods of protest may either help to change the mind of the decision maker or help to make the reason for the change apparent.

It's a bit nondescript but ok.

It's not redundant because it's obviously something that a fair few people (yourself included) want, that I have tried to provide a focal point for some kind of focused effort is my part of trying to protest and has the potential to be far more effective then one lost sale. The desire is obviously there for a return to stripes in a great proportion of the fanbase! The sales figures of this shirt are going to be very interesting, in conversation it has become clear that none of my friends will be purchasing and they are usually all for buying the new kit.

Better to try something then do nothing.

Truly gobsmacked.

Nonsense. That's clearly Boruc on the right.

Would never have had you down in the 15% that don't care! I'm stunned.

I understand what you are saying Steve. As well as the poll here though I'm also basing that party on the Echo poll that showed approx 60% approval for a striped shirt and about 10% approval for a plain red kit. It's quite eerie yet reassuring how similar the results in both polls were.

It got greedy and couldn't live in harmony with it's white brothers. Bring back the peace. Room for all.

Stripes of a fashion.... big ass shirt enveloping stripes.

What the actual f**k has this thread descended to!?

Ata-boy. We'll have you selling protest t-shirts on the Northam bridge yet.

Damn straight Turks. I just know you are itching to help with the campaign.

Yep a ratio of 6/1 of those who want stripes and those who want the current kit. Yes MLG, it's only a slight majority. A 'retro kit day' would be a fantastic way of protesting. Those who actually care enough to own the kits and want stripes back will more then likely own a striped shirt already.

It is a majority. The 40% are also very split, with 15% (Saintsweb poll) not caring. Therefore the vast majority that do care want stripes. 60/25 ratio.... over double those of contrary opinion.
