New Home Shirt - do you like it?

Meh.

The away kit could have done with an iron before the photoshoot, look at the puckering on the V on Yoshi and Gaston's shirts, tch!

Poor show; it's one thing the club not being able to press the shirts in time, but surely they could have photoshopped them out when adding the sponsor logo?

He's in the video too...

Yeah, noticed that after, so must have been done back in May. Surprised then that it really only leaked out yesterday.

It's fookin shoite

'Come on you blacks' is not right in many ways

What an absolute pile of sh!te. I was wrong yesterday, I saw the leaked photo. Assumed it was a poor photoshop, and was happy then. This morning just heightens that shock. What absolute rubbish. Bring back the stripes.

Both shirts are nice but they're just not Saints for me.

Would have helped a lot if the home kit was the one with white shorts

the poll results are interesting nearly 59% don't like it or intend to buy it, good number of voters as a sample as well.

no doubt the club PR machine will claim its a record again like the attendance they made up.

So, when will we wear the away kit?

6 games I reckon.

Like I said a couple of posts back, if you look at the FIFA game they are playing its the new kit but with white shorts, wonder if that was the plan for a while ?

Yeah they're rubbish and would have done a rubbish template striped kit too no doubt but it's the club that dictate stripes etc. It's not a mistake as it won't impact performance and will probably sell well regardless, but there's no doubt Adidas are lazy in their designs. Same for countless clubs but we shouldn't be surprised it's all money over anything unique.

I a mate of mine works at Umbro and he says that firstly they hardly make any money out of supplying clubs with kits; secondly, unless we have the potential to sell as many kits as the likes of United, we get to choose from a few templates; thirdly the clubs say what design they want. Umbro have stepped back from football kits this season and i would imagine Adidas have been inundated by clubs to supply kits.

not much wrong with the new one as a kit but it's just a bit dull and once again way too similar the mid 80's liverpool efforts - although if we replicate their success i won't mind too much.

So, when will we wear the away kit?

 

6 games I reckon.

Arsenal, Villa?, Sunderland, Stoke, West Ham? Liverpool, Crystal Palace?, Man Utd

Could always opt to wear it in more I think.

And Cardiff.

Looked back at the mock ups from yesterday and prefer the smaller white collar on the black shirt, plus we would have looked more like vicars , so a tentative saints link at least

'Come on you blacks' is not right in many ways

Said similar on other thread, we may get into some trouble at away games this season.

Now we will look like a Danish National Team this season.

Forget save our stripes, I want save our black shorts.

As far as the #saveourstripes group is concerned, that's part of the deal.

Yeah, noticed that after, so must have been done back in May. Surprised then that it really only leaked out yesterday.

The shirts the players are wearing in the video do NOT have a sponsor.

The reason it hasn't leaked until yesterday (disregarding the fact we have pretty much known it would look like this for weeks) is down to the whole nonsense with the sponsor.

All a bit weird really, why do the photoshoot with no sponsor, why photoshop the official release photos?

Maybe we will just photoshop everything from now on? Last minute equaliser against us? Just photoshop Borucs arm a bit to make it even longer and, look, he saved it. Lallana injured for six weeks? No worries, just photoshop him back into the starting line up. And so on.

Now we will look like a Danish National Team this season.

As we did with the Hummel shirts for a while.

It's alright, the home one

Really like the away one

£50 seems a bit steep

Ghastly. We should wear stripes (or have the sash again) for the home kit. The away shirt looks like a rugby league jersey.

It's similar design to Spain's shirt

And Cardiff.

Ha - yes. Silly one to forget.

My whelmed has been well and truly undered.

Total Dog Turd.

Those sleeves on the home kit are just so totally amateurish looking that it is embarrassing.

Gold Monochrome Club Badge - absolutely awlful. Christ knows what the backs will look like with presumably Gold numbers and players names.

It actually makes last years p!ss poor effort look nearly passable.

This.

Really like the away kit. Very nice!

Home kit looks better on.

It's only for a season guys, calm down. If you don't like it you don't have to buy it.

I prefer it to last year, at least there is more to it than plain with pinstripes. Still not Saints tho.

I notice all the kits on display are short sleeved - will there be a long sleeved version?

That really would like a right horror show with that weird white thing on the sleeve..... probably charge an extra tenner for the extra material as well.

I'm indifferent to the home but dislike the away shirts neckline.

My nipper text me at 9am to say he loves the home shirt so that's one sale at least!

Right, so if we want something less generic and more Saints-like next season, some of you need to be less sheep-like and NOT BUY IT.

Too many bit the bullet last season and bought the red kit, imo. Otherwise it wouldnt be so similar this season.

But we have to watch our players wear it all season.

it just doesn't feel like watching Southampton FC.

Think I'd have preferred the home to match the away (if it's got to be all red):

****, Cortese strikes again.

if course, as we score the winner against liverpool, united and chelseas of the league. that will be in the front of your mind. That you dont feel like you are cheering a saints win?

I want to know what bellend designed it and is responsible for it passing as a football kit? Who allowed this at Southampton Football Club? They should be out the door el ****ing pronto.

The £50 price tag is a result of dealing with an international sports brand, their mission is to offer design, development, style, innovation and more sales outlets !

In this case they are taking advantage by using a basic template and adding our own badge and main sponsor, thereby cutting their costs !

TBF, we will probably sell more because of the 'brand awareness' and wider exposure but those who buy it are paying a premium price for a product that is no better than most standard high street items !

Also, don't be fooled by the 'moisture control' attributes etc.. they have mesh panels but basically it is a 100% polyester knitted fabric which makes you sweat in hot weather, however it is easy to wash and wear !

All in my (formerly professional) opinion of course !

so £40 for gold writing and logo!!!

This is the big thing that annoys me, and I seem to be mentioning it all the time but hey ho - why pay money to someone to design a kit for us if they're just going to give us a template? Cut out the middle man and produce them yourselves ffs.

Really..?

why is it now an issue. football tops have been horredously over priced for years.

Of course not .... but every time we let in a goal or lose a game, the bloody shirts are going to get the blame

I thought the red kit was dull and I really didn't like the black one, mainly because of the neck, but then again, I never by replica shirts and during matches I'm watching the play, not how nice the players look, so it makes little difference to me.

****, Cortese strikes again.

lol

Of course not .... but every time we let in a goal or lose a game, the bloody shirts are going to get the blame

thats more like the moaning saints we all know and love

when do you think the kit will first get the blame?

It's bloody awful. Truly bloody awful.

Always prefer the away kit. Love this away kit. Home kit is a let down but I really do not care in all honesty. Its a shirt ffs.

For years people complained about us bot having branded kits. Then we get one, are given templates to choose from, and then people complain.

We were never going to get a kit designed just for us by Adidas. That's the crux of it.

Just summoned the courage to watch the vid. Those white arm flashes are truly bizarre from behind.

No especially at £50 and the away kit is ruined by the White Vneck at least saints and adidas won't be getting any money put of me for either!

alpine going over the top as normal
