For the hell of it, the 2019/20 Kit Thread

Nobody is buying the kits anyway surely to not endorse this mysterious sponsor ?

 

Another three seasons of Underwhelming Armour, but to be frank i blame SFC retail for allowing such garbage as you never saw this ****e at Villa and Spurs.

Definitely. You have to wonder about the sort of inept cretin employed by the club to allow such an abomination.

So the women's team will continue to play with Virgin emblazoned on their chests ?

The launch video?

Love it! Really silly, stupid, fun. Like the Taylor contract extension and the others they've done. Just something fun and childish smile to at.

I like that my club does this.

Not convinced by the kits though!

Is there, by any chance, a picture of Gary Diaz in the new kit conducting one of his training sessions at the Academy?

Went to the store to have a closer look and am afraid they're even worse up close. The logo looks really cheap and tacky and like it's been ironed on in a rush. The buttons make it look like a failed retro attempt. All in all, a disaster

Yep me too even worse close up quality looks shocking. I liked the 3rd kit until I saw it in shop.

Its a football kit FFS.

 

Will make literally zero difference to i.) enjoyment of the season ii.) performance of the team

Amen. Grown men moaning about a footy blouse. Bless em.

Anyone like the Liverpool joke in the video?

We always seem to give them a dig or two and yet we sell them half our team?

not the end of the world....but it's a dreadful design. Makes me thinks of MK Dons or Bompey - it just looks bloody awful.

i can't believe they sat there and thought "yep, that's the one"

The home kit looks horrible.

The black and yellow away kit looks ok.

It's grey, not black?

Just been looking at the responses on twitter. I’d say 90% saying the home kit is awful, and some taunting from other fans agreeing, and saying it’s our relegation kit. So my question is this. If the club is aiming to sell lots of shirts to make some revenue, would it not be better to acknowledge the level of hatred for this pathetic piece of design and actually just bin it and do a simple change. You know, admit you’re wrong and produce a kit with an easy change, simply continuing those stripes up to the top? It would double sales.

We probably would of made more money finishing one place higher in the league than hoping fans buy the shirts.

We know they are ****e and whoever selected them in that department needs to have less input next season if we want to improve them.

Not mutually exclusive but take your point. Just hope it doesn’t show up a club that doesn’t listen.

When does this deal with UA as shirt suppliers end ?

Their Saints branded leisure and training wear is bloody expensive as well

Had a chat with the guys in the store. First thing they said was that the logo isnt the finished article. Rushed out for the new sponsor. The final product will be better. Apparently.

Maybe we're just too critical. Neutral BBC Sport seem to love it,

Congratulations, Southampton Football Club, you've outdone everybody.

Mind you they are talking about the video, they conveniently don't pass comment on the kit itself

Is the white kit definitely on sale? I really like it.

Amen. Grown men moaning about a footy blouse. Bless em.

This is what happens when you don’t have a manager to whinge about. Since Hughes, Reed and Krueger all left tensions have been building and the new kit has been a release valve. At least we don’t look like Liverpool! That was the only time I would have felt like frothing at the mouth over a kit. For all of the moaning on here and on Twitter, I bet plenty of people will buy it.

yeah, terrible sponsor logo apart, it looks OK in the pics to me (not seen them close up for real mind). If, as Pugwash suggests, that element will be improved on the final item, then so much the better. Always like a white away kit myself.

Still no excuse for the terrible black chest/shoulder plate on the home kit, even if you can see that they are trying to be `consistent' across the three kits.

So what are we supposed to say then we all love it? Isn’t this a forum to express views?

Where in the rules does it state you have to conform to all the Pr ******?

I don’t buy shirts but sometimes get them for walking footie when they come down to £15.

It looks crap close up apologies if that upsets your everything Saints is rosey .

After seeing this one don't feel so bad about ours!

This year they never came below £35, and even now the price is still £35.

I like the third away kit, the white version, but does it look a bit like and England shirt of old?

Yeah, that's a bad one.

Nice to see they're really trying to capture the spirit of Manchester with that kit. By which I mean the snake skin effect, 4 inch long, faux-leather skirt worn by a 55 year old, unemployed, chain-smoking, midday drinking Bingo player in Salford

Just saw this 'concept kit' design on Facebook. Slick and professional looking IMO compared to what we get dished up with most seasons. Without wishing to bang on about it (because, I know, "it's only a kit FFS" blah blah blah) why is it seemingly so difficult for Saints and their kit supplier to come up with something simple and elegant like this? Oh well, soon time for Eurovision... #huzzah

Looks nice plus this shirt but a better sponsor.

The fans always come up with better designs than these so called experts.

Surely the starting point should be to ask if a design would sell as a piece of clothing, before they put a badge on it. If the answer is no then you go back to the drawing board.

Shirt sales are insignificant in revenue to the club and mean nothing to UA, for UA It's all about exposure in the media/tv.

Shirt sales for the club is minimal revenue and UA are only interested in media/tv exposure!

Elegant? Just looks very bland to me.

Looks good to me.

Hardly a concept though, just a rehash of what we've seen for decades.

Horrible.

what do you suggest doing with red and white vertical stripes ? It is what it is, they are either wider or they are thinner but end of the day Southampton wear red and white stripes. You want to make them horizontal instead ?

So they should want it to look good. Also, that the fans love it. And the players. All that stuff matters.

Preferably on both the front and back.

well yeah absolutely

It's so obvious to you and I , and most supporters, but why is this lost on the f^ckwits who make the final selection ?

Indeed and why do they not put the kit design to this supporters panel thing they have set up - show them a few designs or get suggestions ? its not bloody difficult

You are missing my point. Yes, we are known for the red and white stripes, so that kit shown by Trousers is hardly a concept kit.

It doesn’t upset me at all mate. If you don’t like it, fine, I just don’t get the outpouring of grief over a football shirt. There seems to be a constant need amongst some to find fault with everything the club does. It is not difficult. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it. If you hate it that much, stop watching matches. If you think that whingeing on a football forum will make the slightest bit of difference, knock yourself out. But there is a big difference between posting that you don’t like a kit and the inference that somehow something is seriously wrong with the club just because you don’t like a kit or a sponsors logo. We are still in the Premiership and we have a decent manager, so yes, things are “rosey” as far as I am concerned. I’m sorry if you feel otherwise.

 

It is not difficult. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it. If you hate it that much, stop watching matches.

you are right, if you don't like people moaning on forums, don't go on a forum

The LD logo is cluttered and quite hideous.

Nice....

Why is LD in Pompey colours? Better not in black , but why blue? The chinese text also would be better not in black (or blue).
