You forgot the word 'fact.'

Ooooo, what a controversial idea. A kit of red..... AND WHITE!!!!

No, I hope he is playing the long game and thinking "A-HA!!!! Oh how they will lap up the return to their beloved stripes next season, when we are in Europe.........." #crossedfingers

Does anyone remember the old SOS (Save our stripes) campaigns?

Disagree. Home shirts reflect the identity of the club, away shirts are disposable and temporary items and therefore are never usually remembered (although our yellow shirts hold an affection due to the cup win/final) Use of Red and red alone on the home and dismissal of white on the away is not right.

Otherwise known as self presevation. I suspect that it was a careful leak to gauge opinion. I also suspect that the leak didn't provide the full perspective. Now excuse me, I need a new foil hat.

yes! This x a googleplex

Well, say what you will about the importance of fabric, but the news story on the front page has generated 800 views in just 4 hours, that I believe is unprecidented.

Comment from a Forest supporting mate. "Since when did you lot think you were us?" Says it all.

Wasn't that one Grey? Nice shirt though, one of the best away ones.

Think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.....

You've only just realised!? And you call yourself a fan.

Yes, yes it will.

Yet as we are in the self styled best league in the world it probably will.

With Black shorts and white socks, not all red, it's the entirety of the strip I don't like, not just the shirt itself, I had got used to the idea of that.

Not all red, not once as a home strip. http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Southampton/Southampton.htm I liked the Sash, it had historic relevance. I had accepted the idea of the Red home shirt, but the strip as a whole is just not Saints.

It's fine as garments go...... If you are a Forest or Liverpool fan. The away kit is fine, but that home strip.... wrong.... We do not play in all red. (Well, until this season it seems.)

For the first time in recent memory, no I won't be rushing to buy it.

There was some negative reaction to the Sash, but not this much.

So, using the democratic medium of polling, what do we think of the kit?

Positives: The away shirt is alright. Negatives: Everything else.

Thank f**k it's just for one season.

An extremely good point.

I meant more in the all red all white away/home combo. I was ready for the all red shirt, not the all red kit. That is not a Southampton kit. As items they are not bad... they just bare little semblence to the club I support.

I see what they did there. It doesn't work.
