yeah I have no idea why some of the Irish league & south American 10/11 shirts are branded tailored by when they are clearly old 09/10 templates like our current away. City, England, Ireland, sweden, universitario are the only true tailored by examples I can think of. They all have the cotton&nylon mix material which is really comfortable & fitted. The teamwear kit is nice, the collar is large & quite loose though.

I don't know mlt (well this one anyway), but I do know he is ITK regarding shirts due to his business & website, and know he has contacts within sfc & umbro so I trust what he says on this. The 5aside team I run plays in the 09/10 vasco kit you described. It's a really nice shirt but not "tailored by umbro" and sports the old logo. MLT vasco romario shirt picture was obviously an even older template around 10 years old. There will be a brand new 10-11 design for the new home kit. What we do know from the vasco romario picture is it virtually confirms it will be White with Red sash with a white collar.

I still haven't seen anyone ACTUALLY say the home shirt is a white/red sash though. Thats because they can't. The 2 members of the forum who have seen the shirt had to sign a disclaimer, however if you read the last shirt thread they as good as say it, Matthew Le Tissier linked a picture of a Vasco De Gama Umbro shirt which is very similar to our new design, this does not break the NDA.

lol, I like your take! we have had one or two posters who have seen the home shirt, one of which collects & auctions shirts with good contacts so im sure its a safe bet!

I would be surprised, saints have already announced we will play in red & White stripes in the preview on the os. It is the worst kept secret now that we will wear White shirts with red sash. Obviously we will not wear an away kit for a home league fixture. + all kits are unveiled first & given a launch date for the future for pre orders etc. That said I expect the unveiling of the home shirt imminently, possibly in the next couple of days.

No no date for home launch offically, usually is announced in may & released mid June. However some clubs are launching early to cash in on the wc. I would be surprised if the away is to be launched imminently, it is usually the last kit to be announced & often not sold till July or even august.

ML wealth is between 2.3-2.8 billion pounds if you believe what's written in the press. This would obviously put him miles in front in league 1 and in the top 3-4 of the premier league. He is a fiercely private man by all accounts, hence there is not that much on him on the interweb, I like his style. Hopefully markus will be around for a long time, does he have any children to continue the legacy here? He is no spring chicken. I have been impressed by cortese as well, but would hope he will make more friends than enemies next season.

I am ITK on this one, we pulled out of the Xavi deal as he was considered too small by pards. We have switched our attention to Dawn French who will run our midfield next season. "Think BIG"

Badger, that is just a "clue". It will no way be that exact template and collar as it is 10 years old. Yes it will be a sash and yes it will have a collar:D

Thanks mlt, there you have it then as thought the striped are off on holiday for a year. Any chance of a reply to the pm?

Not seen that Bilbao one. Really interesting design. Not to keen on the names on the black side though.

The universitario shirts are stunning (especially up close), and a true example of the tailored by umbro concept. Why umbro feel the need to brand new shirts as "tailored by" which are clearly 2009/2010 templates but with the new logo (virtually the same as our current away kit) is anyones guess and actually cheapens a fantasic concept.

Well that went down like a lead baloon didn't it?

I'm sure it won't be then you will look like a gullable **** for thinking we may be turning out like arsenal reserves at home next season.

Honestly Tdd, if they released a red shirt with White sleeves there woul be boycotts & outrage galore!

Seeing as though the whole point is to celebrate our herritage & history over the last 125 years I would say so! Breaking news.... Head steward has just drawn me a picture of the new away which is royal blue with a moon on it's back like it has had one too many.:trans:

What we do know, new home & away kit. Usually unveiled in early may, usually launched early mid\June (though many clubs are launching early to cash in on the WC, however unlikely for us) home replica sponsor free, away tba though not flybe. Strongly rumoured to be White shirt, red sash, White shorts, red socks. Highly likely to be tailored by umbro. No strong rumours on away colours.

A new contract on improved terms surely?

I think most have been aware of White along time, however without wanting to write him off, his development has some what stalled over the past couple of years I would say. Does he have a future here?, good hatrick the other week however Salisbury Reserves is hardly Leeds Utd.

Cortese has said ultimately "a Barca model" of a squad with a high percentage of home grown players is our goal. I know the club are re-structuring the academy in a number of ways right now, but it will take time for the "conveyor belt" to get back to it's best. Question is other than Oxlade-Chamberlain, is anyone else close to the 1st team sqaud NOW? Will we see some youth blooded next week if we are out of the playoff race at 5pm today?

what id the most likely outcome here? surely no one is gonna come in and bail them out? Surely it would not make sense financially. Is liquidation a distrinct possibility?

1 Lambert 2 Lallana 3 Harding

Ms is a good player, no doubt he was missed last night. We are very short in centre mid & I would expect 2 new players in this area in the summer. I have seen little speculation linking him elsewhere and I know he is happy here so expect him to stay. I'm more worried about RL & lallana, both seem happy hear but a big offer from a west brom or Newcastle for example I'm sure both would find tempting

May I be the 1st to say "pardew out", right now you can start another thread SOG!
