The9 Posted 6 May, 2010 Share Posted 6 May, 2010 (edited) I wandered into the Saints Shop in West Quay about 7pm this evening. There were a significant number of completely empty rails and hangers near the window, with the current home shirts still on display near the tills. No away shirts anywhere, but If I was guessing, it looked like they were all set to fill those rails with a new range of kit. As the home kit was still there, I can only assume the club is ready to launch the away shirts imminently, maybe tomorrow or Saturday? No idea whether the rumours of the yellow kit are true or not, no clues at all. Edited 6 May, 2010 by The9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_clark Posted 6 May, 2010 Share Posted 6 May, 2010 There HAS to be something new being launched, they wouldn't have taken them off the racks with one game left and probably a big attendance to boot. You're probably right, one of the new kits will be announced (most likely away) with the old kits being chucked in a basket at a fiver each or something.

Mildly related - anyone got a date for the launch of our new home kit? (Usually Aug?) It's just my son (16) is owed one for his birthday from his Skate Godfather, my brother, and I want to make the c*** (my brother that is) go megastore asap!

doggface Posted 7 May, 2010 Share Posted 7 May, 2010 (edited) No no date for home launch offically, usually is announced in may & released mid June. However some clubs are launching early to cash in on the wc. I would be surprised if the away is to be launched imminently, it is usually the last kit to be announced & often not sold till July or even august.

doggface Posted 7 May, 2010 Share Posted 7 May, 2010 I would be surprised, saints have already announced we will play in red & White stripes in the preview on the os. It is the worst kept secret now that we will wear White shirts with red sash. Obviously we will not wear an away kit for a home league fixture. + all kits are unveiled first & given a launch date for the future for pre orders etc. That said I expect the unveiling of the home shirt imminently, possibly in the next couple of days.

The9 Posted 7 May, 2010 Author Share Posted 7 May, 2010 why would anyone go into the club shop and take a picture of it? Sad. I was already in the club shop, and when I saw the big gap I took a picture on my iPhone. It took about 3 seconds, having figured out that something was up and people on here might be interested (and want to see some evidence). Not so much sad as, let's say, "public spirited". I can't believe that anything other than a new away kit is getting launched - if it was the home kit they wouldn't still have the home kits out. As for "chuck the away kits in a basket for a fiver", they already don't have any left in any regular sizes, but they've completely taken all remaining stock off display. And we're definitely wearing stripes tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saturday Boy Posted 7 May, 2010 Share Posted 7 May, 2010 I can't believe that anything other than a new away kit is getting launched - if it was the home kit they wouldn't still have the home kits out. They are probably just putting a load of odds and ends on an end of season sale. Doesn't the megastore at the stadium normally have a few lines of racks with various crap that they can't shift?

Doesn't the megastore at the stadium normally have a few lines of racks with various crap that they can't shift? That's already been done for the last 2 months or so, all the away shirts have been 50% off for a while and they've sold almost all of them. This is what's happening after that. If it was just sale stuff they'd be trying to fill the rails up and spread them around the store so it still looks well-stocked, not clear them out. Home stuff is still there in bulk and reduced - so they won't be launching a home one while that lot is around and on show - so it has to be a new kit (we had a new Tailored By Umbro training range only month or so ago), and it is likely to be the away one. Wouldn't be surprised if it gets shown on the big screen or paraded around before, after or at half time. Because usually there's a launch and then a launch date, but I'm guessing this time it's a big bang, "here it is, buy it now" approach. I still haven't seen anyone who'd know ACTUALLY say the home shirt is a white/red sash anywhere though. Edited 7 May, 2010 by The9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian H. Cope Posted 7 May, 2010 Share Posted 7 May, 2010 I'm actually very friendly with the staff in the Saints store in West Quay. When I asked them about a new kit launch, they sort of shrugged their shoulders and said 'dunno'. I purchased a Saints pencil and a Keith Cassels commemorative ashtray.

Well, it's got a sash and a collar. But he wasn't ITK as far as I could tell. The Umbro "Vasco" teamwear shirt *I* posted would be more in line with the basic "Tailored By" approach anyway. That faffy collar isn't current, and as a "clue", well we kinda all think we already know that much. Edited 7 May, 2010 by The9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know mlt (well this one anyway), but I do know he is ITK regarding shirts due to his business & website, and know he has contacts within sfc & umbro so I trust what he says on this. The 5aside team I run plays in the 09/10 vasco kit you described. It's a really nice shirt but not "tailored by umbro" and sports the old logo. MLT vasco romario shirt picture was obviously an even older template around 10 years old. There will be a brand new 10-11 design for the new home kit. What we do know from the vasco romario picture is it virtually confirms it will be White with Red sash with a white collar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know its not Tailored, but then most of the second season Tailored shirts aren't anyway, they're just rebranded 2009 templates (plain V-neck like Sunderland or squares like Rangers). Though obviously Teamwear is teamwear, different animal. I'm still thinking of getting one of those myself just for the hell of it. I'd forgotten he was the Matchworn bloke. I suppose as a clue Vasco covers it nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City, England, Ireland, sweden, universitario are the only true tailored by examples I can think of. They all have the cotton&nylon mix material which is really comfortable & fitted. The teamwear kit is nice, the collar is large & quite loose though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only English clubs who have their own direct deal with adidas rather than their uk subsidary are chelsea & Liverpool who get new templates. We are not on their planet, and umbro give us a bespoke service. Plus they are English too, although now owned by the yanks at Nike.

Adidas (and Nike now) just give every team the same three templates in different colours - at least if you get Umbro they're bothered enough to switch the designs around a bit.
