great spot the 9!, If he is right I would put my money on that template - certainly the collar as it's descriped to a tee.

V unlikely 9, those ++++++ are supossed to represent "multicultural england".....perhaps we will have aload of polish flags instead!!!

Yay for the collar, boo for the **** White panel

Do you know what they have done with the sponsors logo? Is it like the 9 has done with a White surround or have they stuck another **** White panel on the front like our last flybe home??

Completely disagree, one of the best first touches in the team IMO.

What a load of ******** that was!

anyone heard solent??? would like to know more on this sounds abit concerning imo

Balls

Great thread Turkish what timing You must have a massive lob-on

Gtfi!!! I love bompey!

Come on Ken, the Newcastle game was good but not that good - 6-3 Vs Man Utd for me no-brainer!

(WARNING: GEEK ALERT) Hi The 9, Finally got round to replying… Umbro do have more than 6 templates in use for UK club teams, the ones I can think of including: Rangers, The West Brom (H), Saints (H), Saints (A and many other clubs), Sunderland (H), Sunderland (A) is the Stowe, Hearts (Winchester) (H), Lincoln (H) & Linclon (A) is the Veloce. Yes Man City Home & Away are based on the current england away- but both collars are different as are the pinstripe front panels which means only the sleeves and panel construction are the same. If international teams and other world club sides then even more templates. Yes you are right, the Universitario is england away this season I forgot. The V neck shirt you refer to is nothing like the 09/10 england shirt IMHO, they are the teamwear Stowe I think. The Rangers home is basically the 09-10 world cup England home with different arm construction. The blackburn home is not based on any England shirt but the Sunderland home shirt with halves instead of the west brom/sunderland/rangers away woven stripe. construction of the front panel is a little different mind. I completely disagree with the comments about our home kit. The shirt is 100% bespoke for us. Our shirt was inspired by our first ever shirt rather than a rip off of the Vasco Da Gama teamwear shirt. As I said, I own both as prior to saints switching to the sash I ordered the vasco for my 5-a-side team to wear. It is totally different – the cut, the construction, the sleeves, the collar, the sash is printed not stitched and the other way round all different. I think Umbro have done a sterling job so far and are one of if not the best in the industry right now – their crests are the best in the business no doubt. Like England, Man city is a premium account of theirs, they do some fantastic retro leisurewear which they do not do for us! Check it out online. What will they come up with this year for us? Not too keen on this years goalkeeper template if this is to be it! Cheers

Disagree phil, barnards 1st touch is better than the majority if our team IMO. That would have come from his spurs education. He is one paced I will give you that and cannot play off the shoulder. Guly & forte give something different, they both have strengths & weaknesses compared to Barnard.

Do not feed the troll

By the sounds of the interview on saints player/official site, looks like we maybe going with what we have?

Doble is back

I doubt it will be either, I expect a fresh design. I do like both shirts though. 9 I will reply to your long post when I get near a pc not an iPhone!

Like the home one gecko good work- would prefer black trim on both sleeves mind. Nice one

Part of being a saints fan is looking like a deck chair- if you don't like it now then you never will.

Disagree, I like the new Sunderland strip - Unveiled very early! I think that they are better quality than both Adidas and Nike- without question umbro club badges are embroidered second to none. I would expect that our new shirt maybe unveiled early too.

The shirt would have been finalised before the sponsor.

I'm getting moist

Hi 9, I disaree about a few of your points- Umbro had a fair few templates this season, man city, sunderland, blackburn, universitario, hearts, rangers, west brom and saints to name a few all have 100% original templates. The most popular and common is the template based on our away shirt....forest, saints WB away etc.. Saints shirt is not a teamwear shirt it is 100% bespoke for us. (I own both) All those clubs mentioned are changing their kits next season as the vast majority of umbro deals (if not all) are now 1 year cycles. The new styles will have already been designed for a few months and will start trickling out come early summer.

I have heard nothing but all of those templates are old-we will get a new design.

Howard would be great, as would frimpong
