Ohio Saint Posted 4 July, 2014 Share Posted 4 July, 2014 I love it. If Saints can manage do do as as well as last season, or even better, we will be the only red and white stripey team that anyone really notices! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpbury Posted 4 July, 2014 Share Posted 4 July, 2014 I promised my son a full kit from his Grandad's estate. To be honest, I am happy that the old kit wasn't available when we tried a couple of months back (though we did order a Junior Medium kit which fits a 7 year old, not a 10 year old). So I am chuffed to go the whole hog with this kit, yep Stoke Sunderland etc, but whenever I saw them in the last couple of years, I wished it was Saints playing in the stripes. Now we are!

Bearsy Posted 4 July, 2014 Share Posted 4 July, 2014 I did wonder, I stared at it for the longest time wondering if he meant something else. It seems extraordinary thing to say to a 10yo.

tpbury Posted 4 July, 2014 Share Posted 4 July, 2014 "don't worry jnr when grandad dies we will be able to afford full kit" that sad story gave me bad feels, tpbury Ah, you bastard! Think about it, the estate wouldn't have existed if the old bugger hadn't already shuffled off his mortal coil. I said it to my son (not in those terms) in order to make a lasting connection with him and his late grandad. In reality, the few grand left from my dad is the only opportunity to splash on this sort of stuff, so I think it is fitting. I'm not offended, mate, and the lad will treat the new kit with the reverence it deserves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearsy Posted 4 July, 2014 Share Posted 4 July, 2014 that makes more sense, tpbury. Possibly the more reverential black away kit would also have been an option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smirking_Saint Posted 4 July, 2014 Share Posted 4 July, 2014 Like it, I wont buy it, 50 quid for a footie shirt is a massive rip off, I tried to get the black away kit last year as a training top when it dropped in price but thats all I use them for in reality I did like last years kit, the kit before not so much, thats not necessarily cos I dislike stripes they just get a bit stale IMO. This kit for our home brand is excellent though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpbury Posted 4 July, 2014 Share Posted 4 July, 2014 Anyway, I and my Dad loved the stripes and hope it is decent quality, I suppose we'll find out in due course. I emailed a message in the All Saints game programme (vs Hull) - when I saw it, I realised I could've put lots more words and a photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 4 July, 2014 Share Posted 4 July, 2014 The only problem I see is that it's got solid red sleeves and we all know what happens to teams who wear stripped shirts with red sleeves???

CB Fry Posted 4 July, 2014 Share Posted 4 July, 2014 I like it but I think the club have made a massive misjudgement. We have now completely alienated the millions of SFC followers in China and across the far east who only became Saints fans because we had a plain red kit. How are we going to make up the shortfall in revenue now we have walked away from this? Clearly commercial suicide from our current leadership who lack the vision what the previous bloke had and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Fan CaM Posted 4 July, 2014 Share Posted 4 July, 2014 Pity there was no option for 'Like it, may buy it'. I'll reserve my judgement on whether I invest any more of my money when I see whether the club keeps it's promise to invest all the transfer fee money into new players. I'll not be holding my breath to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordswoodsaints Posted 4 July, 2014 Share Posted 4 July, 2014 I like it but im not a kit buyer though so not really bothered,i expect the kids will want it though.

Charlie Wayman Posted 4 July, 2014 Share Posted 4 July, 2014 Well at least next season's 'star' players won't be inclined to sneak off to a look-a-like club, can't see a queue forming to join Stoke or Sunderland. Maybe those red shirts gave the recent deserters all the wrong ideas. Going back to stripes epitomises what is wrong with this club and many of its fans, forever locked in the past and hating the idea of moving on into the 21st Century. If Stripes is the height of our ambition then a relegation struggle is almost a nailed-on certainty.... everything exactly like the 'good' old days!

Loving the shirt and shorts, not too sure about the socks!! What will they do with the number and what colour will it be? Also will it be just the number or the number on a white patch? Apologies if it's been answered already, not had a chance to read all the way through!! I have never owned a replica shirt, stick with Polo shirts myself.

LeBoyer Posted 4 July, 2014 Share Posted 4 July, 2014 Thought we'd turned a corner and things looked positive with the move away from red/white stripes to plain red shirts. Sadly not. I know I'm in the minority but I prefer plain colours and last season's kit, although fairly generic, was an improvement on the season's before. Unfortunately, we look like a Championship side again, or at worst, Sunderland or Stoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 4 July, 2014 Author Share Posted 4 July, 2014 £50, is that right? I can only go from what the OS page announcing the kit says. I have assumed the reason it's high is because we won't be receiving any money from adidas this season for the privilege of producing our kit and getting their logo all over the telly during our matches. I am not joking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
