Chez Posted 20 July, 2011 Share Posted 20 July, 2011 I like it. Much prefer it to last years. I like the red socks and the white long sleeves with red wrist bands look nice. The stripey socks of recent years have been terrible. Are the shorts black (they look it) or the navy we used to have? Would prefer the latter.

The9 Posted 20 July, 2011 Share Posted 20 July, 2011 £47 does seem a bit steep for a shirt! Long sleeved are always £5 more than the short sleeved. Stick a name and number on a long sleeved shirt (like I did last year for the wedding) and this year you're looking at £59. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 20 July, 2011 Share Posted 20 July, 2011 I said it would be just like Huddersfield so I will take all the money :-D I note with interest that you also implied there was something special on the back (was that a guess?) and that the away kit was the Chevron style, so I'm waiting with bated breath to see if you were winging it or not.

S-Clarke Posted 20 July, 2011 Share Posted 20 July, 2011 I think it's a nice kit. I fail to see what people wanted? I think a lot of complaining just cos they can. I can't see anything wrong with it either, a nice kit. Again - there isn't much you can do with red and white stripes is there? It's a bit of a change from the norm though and I like that. The people moaning are the same people that moan about everything else, so it's not much surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stripey socks of recent years have been terrible. Are the shorts black (they look it) or the navy we used to have? Would prefer the latter. The shorts are black, but as they are shiny and the photo studio was well lit they look sort of gunmetal or ultramarine in the photo. We need a few more pics to tell if the logos are yellow, gold or amber as well. Smart move using the red socks to offset the white sleeves. Kudos to gary r's succinct "wide stripes with white sleeves" from a week or two ago as well. Least convincing genuinely ITK post ever ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 20 July, 2011 Share Posted 20 July, 2011 Ta, absolutely plain black then, and a yellow, rather than gold, or amber logo. Away kit has to be yellow and black as rumoured now, I wonder if they'll put it out there with red shorts with a yellow logo to match the home kit so they can use the home and away shorts interchangeably ? Seems like a smart idea, and otherwise the yellow logos are completely incongruous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince Jazzbo Posted 20 July, 2011 Share Posted 20 July, 2011 To be honest I fail to see what all the excitement about the kit is. Saying we've got a nice kit is almost the same as Lowe saying we've got great catering at the time that we got relegated from the Premier League. Saints could play in string vests, y-fronts and hobnail boots as far as I'm concerned, its how they play not how they look. Having said all that, the shirts look alright to me.

The9 Posted 20 July, 2011 Share Posted 20 July, 2011 Moved this from t'other thread (R.I.P. even though there's loads of away kit speculation in there already...) slightly disappointed we have not gone back to the deep navy (that they look in the photo). I'm only just coming to terms with the yellow, give us a chance. I'm still not 100% sure that the double seam on the side of the shorts doesn't contain a sliver of another colour within, like the away shirt this season has a flash of red running up the side which is hidden inside a double seam. I can't believe people are still finding out it's a one year kit as well, the Ugly ran an article on this in JUNE 2011 - Saints and Umbro announced it in 2008 !

LostBoys Posted 20 July, 2011 Share Posted 20 July, 2011 If the away kit is the rumoured one based on the Sweden second kit with sash which I think is the best kit ever produced by Umbro, then this one might have to wait until Xmas as I will be queueing for the away one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe they'd have just preferred something else? I quite like it, but have to repeat something I said months ago. The sash and colours of last season's kit, set us apart from any other club in the English professional game (I think). It stood out. In red and white stripes we're one amongst many.

No, not good. A bit of an own goal by the club as they'll miss out on a fair bit of free publicity and marketing. But they seemingly don't want to go down this route (season tickets, match tickets etc) for some unknown reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that the Echo aren't allowed to use Saints logo in their publications or online, it's not beyond the boundaries of suspicion to wonder if they're blocked from showing the image of the new kit. It would certainly not be unlike Saints to retain all image rights so that the only place you can view the kit is on their website. We'll see.

BigShadow Posted 20 July, 2011 Share Posted 20 July, 2011 As of 2.30pm 94% of voters either love it or think its OK - that must be an unprecedented level of acceptance so I'd say the club have done a pretty good job with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SO16_Saint Posted 20 July, 2011 Share Posted 20 July, 2011 Having seen the kit first hand I can confirm that it is a lot nicer in the flesh than on a computer screen. There are black zig/zags within the red stripes that look really cool. The White stripe on the back of the shirt is no where near as bad as the picture makes out, and actually looks really good.

Saint Fan CaM Posted 20 July, 2011 Share Posted 20 July, 2011 Well I like it, but frankly would have been more than pleased to have retained the sash until we reach the Prem. Not sure if I will buy it - at £45 I'm not sure replica shirts offer great value for money in relation to the amount of wear they get to be honest. I might wait until we get into the Prem and celebrate with a new shirt then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smirking_Saint Posted 20 July, 2011 Share Posted 20 July, 2011 Missing the sash kit TBH. But then I would imagine the overall majority would have rathered the return of our traditional stripes, and yes MLG I do think our traditional colours are red and white stripes. This however is a pretty decent effort, it reminds me a little of athletico madrid, and I like that, although I won't be buying it (thinking about it I think I get a free one from this GSR thingy) Do we get our own kit individually styled by Umbro now ?? Or is it the same as any other teams ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
