Enjoyed the article very much.
I like spotting fellow Saints fans from afar, and its easier with a unique kit design. I think its good to stand-out with our own "uniform"Therefore I am not particularly attached to red-and-white stripes. There are half-a-dozen teams we can be mistaken for.
Aside from that, I find it quite exciting seeing what the club can come up with. I liked the sash shirt a lot. I would have welcomed, say, an inversion of it, the quarters, or the Rank Xerox kit.
How important is it ? Not very important, I suppose. Its all about asthetics.
