Saint Charlie

Completely agree with this.

Yeah the Eng kits get knocked down very quickly.

They are 6.99 on the net.

One clue is that you can only buy the shirt in a Saints Megastore on or online via the website. Other clubs have shirts in every Sports store worldwide. As far as Adidas goes we are small time. We might sell 30k shirts. A few teams will sell millions worldwide - they might well have more time spent on them. Saying that, Chelsea and Swansea had the same template last year, and the year Chelsea won the CL they had the same shirt as Peterborough!

Will be interesting to see what develops though. Reckon we need another CB Peacey?

Fair enough. What decision is wrong? The price or the design? The price I agree is crazy, but is the going rate for kits and largely decided by Adidas Im sure.

Come on! Changing from red to blue is hardly comparable with reducing the amount of white in a red and white kit. A complete change like that is obviously ludicrous and rightly Cardiff fans don't like it. But look below, there are people who like our new kit and it is better than last years IMO.

I think we probably have asked his club how much they would want for him, now know his price and then will decide at some stage if we want to move ahead with it. Would expect that is generally how it works and how a lot of rumours get into the press. Enquiring if not the same as making an offer.

Good point. In all seriousness, thats the issue for me, not the stripes, but the fact so many of the kits today are generic. And that is mostly Adidas's fault surely? Look at all their kits and they are generic templates, not just ours. A shame really.

True. I will email Clotese.

Bit confusing though that the outrage is because of no stripes and then loads of people are saying a slightly edited version without stripes would be perfect. Even for the mboard, this is just odd. What is wrong with the kit? Is it stripes, is it gold, is it just because Cortese is at Saints or because most people would rather moan than just say it is ok.

I wouldn't say those wearing red and white at SMS for home games were doing so as a protest at the kit. They are our colours which is why people are wearing red and white. Just as this years full kit has both red and white. Ok, more red. But more white than last years and it still looks smart.

I'm confused. I thought that stripes were essential to the kit? Do people actually know why they hate it or just do because its en vogue?

Cool - take this note as my continued approval.

Ok. Good post (are you looking for my approval?)

Pretty sure people sent letters etc last year as well.

I wrote the above post to which you refer.

Speak for yourself but not others pal. Grotesquely arrogant to think you can send letters referencing what "most" supporters think. Otherwise fair enough for actually bothering to send something in

I honestly am not that bothered. Its just funny how much people can hate a kit. Its a kit, and it is clearly better than last year.

At least you can just order some more red smoke bombs for next season. Red and White would be more difficult to co-ordinate!

Agree - thats when the pre season really steps up. Initially it is about fitness and getting back into the swing of training.

Hope you get to a game. If you do, start a thread about how you found it!

Numbers will be white I would have thought.

Ironically, it would look better if they had not put the white on it and it was all red with the white stripes.

Wiltshire has been discussed apparantly.
