But at least the Barbie kit was just that, a single colour of (“Barbie” if you like) pink not a psychedelic swirl of mismatching colours. What the fuck is it meant to be ? And who writes this guff about replicating the Solent ? Are they on something like the kit designers or just thinking we’re fucking idiots ?

Meanwhile, Tonda is probably sat at home and like the rest of us wondering why they cancelled Emmerdale and Coronation St to show this shit.

I’m pretty sure in the late 60’s some Saints players would be wearing shirts with a white patch and number sewn onto the back. Others with just a number. Used to wonder why. Perhaps that was the easiest way of sharing the shirts if needed in the squad as they were 1-11 and not sized to each individual

Long was essentially signed as third choice last season as I recall. Reading the Norwich fans reviews it seems he’s fine providing not called upon to play. He might be great as a training partner but if Petetz is injured or suspended then we could be buggered. Need an option we’re confident of playing if needed. Fully agree with later comments that we need to move Ramsdale and Bazunu on first though. Especially Ramsdale with the salary burden.

Depends on who and what we replace them with. A reliable back up GK would be useful too.

I know the point you’re making but seems to me that black on red and white is quite prominent. And white on the away shirt shouldn’t need a plain back. Sunderland and Sheff Weds are both shown on this thread as having striped backs, but we’ll have to see what they look like on taking to the pitch. For me it’s quite straightforward, stripes on the shirt front and back. Or abandon stripes and go for the Rank Xerox, Halves and occasionally the sash.

Hope those part timers involved in the away shirt kit design aren’t town planners in their real job. A new level of buffoonery is found.

Yes, but there is a difference between those that can’t find a way through to the first team at say Man City, and Chelsea (and that can be hit and miss) and being eased out of Bournemouth or Ipswich for example.

GK or training top fine. But for me it simply isn’t a football shirt or a shirt to play professional football in

Was it knocked up in an episode of Sewing Bee ? Either by some librarian looking women, or some mincey bloke on a sewing machine.

If he believes that then he’s a bigger fucking tool than he’s credited as.Either that or he thinks it’s a clever answer (which isn’t the only one he gave last night by all accounts). How many shirts on here have shown this is not the case ???

Each to their own. Perhaps it should have marmite as a sponsor

There are still some good ones to be found, Lavia, Charles and THB for example for us. Perhaps Middlesbrough have found a few this season as well. But need to avoid the Larios, Bazunus, and Gunns.

Looks like something designed from the old kids programme ‘Vision On’…. with the sign language enhancement saying “we regret we can not return your paintings”. The plain back makes it look even more amateurish.

I was thinking of seasickness and vomit on it, but not sure that would be pink (unless induced by strawberry milkshake and a rough channel crossing)

Actually he has a point. Let Parsons immerse himself in this development project and bring someone else in to run the club (without the fuck ups in PR and defending the club’s position in times of crisis)

Big mistake and shame Saints didn’t buy the gas site if they’ve any great intentions of expanding. All IMHO (as one poster would always say) of course.

There will be occasions when a third is needed though. Could we wear r/w stripes at Preston for example ? Personally I think we could but the rulings may prevent it.

Especially if they can offload their cast-offs on us.

Yes, probably edged that ridiculous thing we had 2022/23. But some saps will buy it no doubt.

Not doubting your explanation/excuse for this hideous design but since when did the colour pink appear in a seascape of swirling waves ?

The Friends Provident, that lasted well. At least Rupert had the sense to try and link witn Dell computers for sponsorship. Apart from that the possibilities are pretty shit. Although for most it will remain St Mary’s.

You’ve done some good research over the last few weeks finding some obscure names. Agree should be looking for better than Jebbison. Of those you’ve mentioned the more interesting names would be Ure or Bobcek . Harres seems to have lost his way. Vipotnik seems too expensive and obvious, Saints seldom go for the obvious. So Jebbison or another Downs MkII it is then.

True, but I thought it was reported as a ‘done deal’ or at least an expected to be done deal.

As it’s gathered a bit of interest on social media, yes he might. He also went into overdrive about Gakpo once upon a time as well if that helps.
