Bloke top right looks a single tooth inbred.

And people think RH would get him to get his head down and adopt a work ethic.Just when this theory was gaining some support on here he does a 'Flintoff' and goes off on a jolly. Being polite the blokes a "loose canon" and can't be relied upon. I'll be surprised if we don't get shot of him.

This is a one off as a return to a 1970's shirt worn by York. Why would anyone think we'd have this ? Can't see us having this as a kit in a month of Sundays.

Is this part of the fyre sale some are predicting ?

You can add Spurs and Everton to that list for me.

I like Poch to a point, but the prospect of Levy lauding it is more sickening than Klopp. VD I grant you is equally galling but I have to (reluctantly and begrudgingly) acknowledge his outstanding talent as a player, even if he is a slimey devious f^cker for the way he conducted his exit. (Same could have been said for Poch five years ago though to be honest, perhaps time is the healer). Plus from a personal level the spurs fans I have worked with over the years have been a far gobbier bunch than Liverpool supporters (most of whom have no connection with that city it has to be said) many of whom have been quite warm to us, even before Reed became their fairy godfather in giving them first choice on our squad.

Better idea. If they are collecting Moroccan Norwegians we've got one they could add to complete the set. At a price of course.

There certainly seems to be a significant 'disconnect' between those running the club and any interest in what you might loosely term the club's heritage. Fitzhugh posted on here on some years ago that the sash came about after a discussion he'd had with Andy Oldknow who was briefly part of the management before Cortese dispensed with him. At least he was prepared to consider the background of the club etc. Not sure Gao or Nelly are remotely interested in this, and the current management too timid to bring it to their attention. Wasn't someone on here telling us last season how he'd been elected to the Supporters Talking Shop (whatever it was called). Perhaps this is an issue to bring up rather than talking about the availability of pre-match burgers.

Red and White quarters,a throwback to an early Southampton St Marys kit. Would have been a good choice in my view as it was just before we moved to the new stadium. Remember this. The Monaco kit was a bit of a reference to our manager at the time the vote was launced, Glenn Hoddle, who had played for Monaco. Obviously a good job we didn't choose this as GH had p!ssed off by the time we would have been wearing it at the start of the next season of course. The skates did have a campaign to rig the vote but I don't see that as a reason to disregard the vote now. Nearly 20 years later it would be quite easy to restrict the voting to ST holders & members, or those with a recorded purchase history over however many seasons or ticket purchases (ie other than those who only attend the Liverpool or Ut fixtures) to obtain a reasonable reflection of the supporters choice.

UA seem to have a few of them in their Design Dept over the last few years (Keegan style apart of course).

... throw in a plain back and it really adds up to a complete abortion of a football shirt.

I had assumed this was a Saint Lard mock up, but that's not the case. Where does this originate from ? The collar is absurd (not in keeping with the AZ Alkmaar kit others refer to as a template) and look to be a 70's throwback; the sleeves are presuambly borrowed from some Bournemouth offcuts. The logo and the Chinese graphics take it to an even further grade of crap though.

No doubt had the scousers been singing something similar about City or whoever it would have just been passed off, if not openly praised, as another fine example of cheeky scouse wit. As others said above, they weren't too concerned singing about the Munich air disaster years ago. No. As much as I dislike Liverpool, I still hope they beat the North London Yobbos.

Are you sure on that ? In the past we've known or been able to piece together a bit of a track record, whether Chairman of Secure Retirement listed on the Stock Exchange, a banker specialising in sports investments, or even Ralph Krueger's time in ice hockey, sports business etc. But what have either Toby Steele, or the Sellman character (can't remember full name) done to give confidence ?

Don't forget a flypast banner, and a protest involving throwing soft toy squirrels on to the pitch.As opposed to ducks in Lowe's day Perhaps we should campaign for Rupert's return, once he has personally solved the Brexit crisis, he'd probably be a better option that the current chancers.

Saints do not have an organised fanbase, like the running of the club it is completely disjointed. The Chapel couldn't even manage to pass round an unfurled flag overhead without making an embarrassing balls up of it on Sunday. I know that some of the 'higher profile' names wanting to become celebrities rendered it to eventual ridicule but something like the a re-born SISU would be a step in the right direction.

Worrying thing is that in recent years the club have come up with efforts that are worse than the mock ups on here.

Some true words here Prof although rather than support Saints some might also find a more local team to support, I've known a few Saints fans who feeling disengaged with things at SMS are now following Eastleigh

Close Heisenberg.

Yesterday was the typical end of season damp squib, made worse by Gunn's error. We stayed behind for the lap of appreciation (hardly call it lap of honour any more). As much as anything as a 'thanks' to Ralph rather than the players. This too was a bit low key compared to previous seasons (although probably better than Puel's year which I didn't attend). Surprised in some ways Ralph didn't lead the team in his customary way but probably too many 'other halves' and their kids there for that. If anything I thought RH looked a bit bored with the event, perhaps not as raucous as in Germany. Just hope he recharges his batteries,comes back, and spends some of Gao's millions in rebuilding the team.

Saw a post yesterday someone suggesting two stripes on the front but with a plain back again.

Should see the suggested £35m come tumbling down though.

I think the original question is raised regarding standards that we'd apply rather than ethics as Poundland or VS are likely to attract ridicule. As for the ethics of it best to avoid gambling, tobacco (already banned isn't it ?), money lending - Wonga type - sponsorship. Personally I would'nt want to see children parading those names around on the front of shirts. On a couple of other issues though, if Sir Jim Ratcliffe turned up at Staplewood with a few billion to spare (won't happen but if it did) would fans be prepared to accept the controversy surrounding having Ineos on our shirts if it lead to a few protesting every match ? If Ralph brought some investment from Austrian chums to set up Red Bull Southampton ? (I think this was discussed on here before Marcus got involved).

Don't forget Ty

Reminds me on the old Adkinsism about Puncheon getting on board and getting an oar in his hands...
