The Rather Previous 2016/17 Saints Kit Thread

Someone on twitter has done a clearer version of the two leaked kits.

 

 

 

Look bloody fantastic in my view.

Like.

The white bra just looks weird... I don't understand why designers feel they need to make their mark by adding something totally unnecessary. Classic works. Would like to see a bit more black on the collar and perhaps lining the sponsor to make it stand out. The away kit doesn't look too bad, but not a patch on our dark blue muvi kit from a couple of years ago.

really i cant find 1 good thing to say about it!

Reminds me a little of the mid 80s, which isn't a bad thing.

I'm already bored with seeing that slightly inaccurate twitter rework, it's nice, but there are a few things wrong with both designs, most obviously the collars, the shape of the top panel and the away socks.

I'm more disturbed that people seem to think a bra is that high up? I mean, WTF?

They look like they are from the same source as when last years kits were leaked, I think it was the Premier League handbook or something.

 

Reposting it so I can compare the two

Home kit - doesn't look that great, but could have been a lot worse. Will probably grow on me, but just hope it is stripes on the back as well.

Away - poor colour combination. Black & yellow - fine, but grey ?

It doesn't to everyone, but 156,000 views of this thread suggest it does to many.

 

People like to see their team in a shirt that doesn't look ****.

155,000 of those was just one person though

Most the comments said a high up bra. Good effort though.

F**k off you whopper.

FWIW from what's out there already I'd say the home socks were the reverse of these 15/16 AZ ones

And the away socks are the style which also "coincidentally" happen to be the long socks the players have been training in already, and the socks the new scholars were mostly pictured wearing.

They do seem to be slightly different styles. The home is equal sized hoops with one thicker one, the away a thick hoop at the top then narrowing hoops in a gradation effect.

The Toluca home kit from last season has a very similar style, probably the same template, and yes I know it was also spuds away!

...and now the bra is red...

Presumably the home shorts...

And the away kit...

In which case, if the bra is red... (this is what I expected it to be...)

"Bra"?

Its a colour patch high up a football shirt and in no way resembles a bra. How could a bra do what it is supposed to do if it was that high up the chest?

I know it's not ACTUALLY a bra, MLG. Take a day off. It's Sunday.

I prefer the red shoulder bit, but they've already shown the actual white one whilst that's just a computer image.

I like that idea that MLG is handing out advice on ladies' underwear. This is the very definition of "know your limits".

A bluff?

A bluff?

There will be samples of both I suppose. Either way it's still a year old design.

I bet the red shouldered version will be for the Europa league

...and now the bra is red...

 

Why is WGS designing the kit ??

Seriously though not a fan of the iron on badge in that vid, even if that's just training ware the prices the charge

I would have thought it quite obvious that a bra would have to start below the chest rather than above it.

Hmmm, an interesting theory, plain red back as well?

I quite like the "added on but not actually embroidered" badge, it looks thicker than the guff Adidas gave everyone last season.

Just because that's how you wear yours.

In general I'm an advocate of more white on the kit, but I think red bra (just calling it that because everyone knows what it means), at least on the mock ups, looks a lot better.

In which case, if the bra is red... (this is what I expected it to be...)

 

That's the top

Think its possibly one of the worst kits in recent memory based on those mocks ups. Real shame.

And how hard was it for the collar and shirt trim to be the same colour? Terrible kit incoming.

I actually quite like that mock up.

It's difficult to vary stripes, this is distinctive.

Personally, if that is what the kit looks like, I will be over the moon. Last season's kit was as unimaginative as stripes can possibly be, I don't recall us ever having a kit that looked like this one and I think it's lovely.

I don't understand why the overwhelming fans choice (the Patrick kit), gets ignored year on year.

The supposed new kit looks absolute sh*t.

One thing is for sure whatever it looked we know you'll buy it. You even bought a shirt you started a protest about!

+1 For consistency.

I prefer the red yoke version too, will be interesting to see if that's the Prem shirt and if the white panel version pitches up (with a white panel back) for the Europa League.

I think the red version looks like a nice shirt full stop, the white one looks ok.

I'm sure we'll bust one out in the next season or two with the Prem coming around to the UEFA number patches regulations from next season - it's an ideal way of introducing it to fans slowly without annoying everyone immediately.

The third kit is a plain red back but won't be available and a smaller sponsor logo as per Europa regs.

Really like this, looks stylish and differs to most striped shirts.

No idea what you're talking about re: collar and shirt trim. The collar is the same colour as the shirt.

I think he means the collar should be black to match the rest of the black trim and to stand out from the red panel (at the moment it just blends in without definition)

Just had a bit of a google, 250cm squared for FA sanctioned competitions (see http://www.thefa.com/~/media/Files/PDF/the-fa-2012-13/fa-regulations/kit-and-advertising-regulations-2012-13.ashx for the 2013 rules) and 200cm squared for UEFA ones (according to page 30 of the 2012 UEFA Kit regulations: http://ffm.mk/media/files/UEFa-Kit-Regulations-Edition-2012_en.pdf). Sounds legit.

I will be annoyed if they decide not to sell it though.

So are there two versions of the striped shirts with different colour yokes as well as the striped and plain back - if so is the Prem shirt the white yoke/striped back and the red yoke the plain back?

Would be very happy with this. The red upper so much better than the white version. Away not too shabby at all either.

Well as the collar as illustrated in the HD pic isn't the collar on the shirt anyway I'm not sure how there's any complaint to be made.

Probably because the overwhelming fan choice has been to get back to stripes which got a positive response. It would be a brave board that moved away from stripes again.

The Patrick kit was one of my all time favourites too but I wouldn't want to see it replacing stripes now. Saints ARE stripes.

Now the bra bit is red then I approve. I like our kits to have more white than red usually but the white bra looked a bit rubbish.

Now, all good.

The Patrick kit was stripes and as long as any new version ensured it is still visibly stripey then I think the fans would love it.

Worth remembering that most of the objection to the two Cortese Premier League kits wasn't that they weren't stripes but was because they were both utter effing abortions and two of the worst kits worn by any team in world sporting history, including when Coventry City wore brown.

Most of the objection was that they weren't stripes. The fact they were also both sh01te certainly didn't help.
