beatlesaint Posted 11 June, 2012 Share Posted 11 June, 2012 Is this another one season kit or have we got this one for 2 years ?

Pity - I really like the one for this past season. Every Umbro kit we've had under this contract (except the home one when we were in admin) has been one year, as announced 5 years ago. Seeing as it's the last year of the deal, there's every chance it may also be our last Umbro kit for a while. Which is a weird way to go out, brands usually go for something classic in their final year because they don't usually have to beat it the next season.

The9 Posted 12 June, 2012 Share Posted 12 June, 2012 [/img] New Umbro kit for huddersfield is incredibly bland That's because Huddersfield basically have a teamwear deal. They get their Umbro kits from a local sports goods supplier rather than Umbro direct. We get ours from Umbro directly. Having said that, when ours gets launched people will probably be pining for bland and striped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 12 June, 2012 Share Posted 12 June, 2012 (edited) Why, are you exaggerating its sh*teness then ? Not sure where you got that idea from. I don't even think it's a bad design, I just don't think it suits Saints. Also not sure how me saying "it's weird that Umbro haven't gone for a classic design" would make anyone more or less likely to buy the kit. In fact I'm at a loss to know why anyone would take someone else's opinion of it over their own, when they have the chance to see it and judge for themselves on June 30th and couldn't buy it even if they wanted to until after that.

Because you keep banging on about it, heavily-laced with innuendo that a lot of us wont like it (and in the process bring apparently much-needed attention on to yourself - try chucking wooden blocks about like my 2 year-old, much more guarantee of attention), its hardly suprising that some of us completely in the dark take your comments at face-value and react negatively.

I like to give people the benefit of the doubt usually, but you appear to have completely lost the plot. There is no "innuendo", a number of people have outright said "that's basically the kit", and it is pretty obvious that people won't like it, as it's not conventional stripes. I am assuming from your comments that you've only read page 16 onwards and haven't actually seen the numerous images, all very alike, of what the shirt is expected to look like.

Count to ten. One… Two… Three… I think his posts are based more on many people's comments on this thread. I don't really like where it seems to be going this season to be frank, but am willing to wait and see what the complete kit looks like on release before making a final judgement. I'm sure the club will be sh*tting themselves at the thought of you withholding your hard earned Euros. Fortunately I'd imagine that there will be plenty of fans willing to fork out for the new shirt if only to commemorate our return to the top league. I also believe that the club could be covering themselves with the possible white and red away shirt. If some people prefer that it'll still mean that the home fans are all decked out in red and white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 13 June, 2012 Share Posted 13 June, 2012 See Umbro have produced a really dull Man City shirt too. Least ours might be the most interesting of their efforts. Not too worried about being mainly red or mainly white. Loved the air florida shirt and the sash shirt so convention isn't exactly necessary. Think the red might look quite good with black shorts and stripey socks. The Sweden home kit has some socks which are mainly plain and massively thin stripey around the middle, we might get those. I'd be surprised if the shorts were anything other than plain black... or plain red... or plain white. Or all three over both kits. Umbro aren't doing much in the way of faffy shorts at the moment, though last season's shorts were plain black, so they might go for a different colour.

Our players are going to end up looking like Pippi Longstocking... Actually the Irish ones have more stripes - the Sweden ones only have about half that number and look much less "busy"... and their away socks are plain with a contrasting turnover like the current Saints home ones. Also worth pointing out that the Lille socks are plain with a broad band on them with gradated pattern like on the England GK collar (and their away collar). Speaking of collars... this is the only plain V-neck I've seen from Umbro so far this season (not including the massive V on the shirt which isn't part of the collar and we definitely don't have). As we don't even know what colour the socks are going to be, not much point worrying about one out of a few designs at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mulletsaint Posted 13 June, 2012 Share Posted 13 June, 2012 New Man City shirt is quite bland, their last season with Umbro too One man's bland is another man's refined. I like a lot of the simple shirts that companies are going with these days. Umbro are at the forefront of this with many more classic style shirts. Some of Adidas and Nike's are goddam awful and have been for years. The only Nike kit I'm reasonably keen on is the French one and that's because they've kept it simple. F**k me, this kit unveilling fills me with more dread with each passing day.... Christ mate, if this sort of thing fills you with dread then god help us if things get squeaky bum next season! Yep, so f**king bored with the stripes myself, thats why the 125th kit was a breath of fresh air. Its a real pity that the powers-that-be wont turn to our own club history for inspiration like some of the posters on here have. This I do agree with you on. Really thought the sash was a good opportunity to make a fresh and individual start. However, there ain't a great deal that you can do with a white shirt with a red sash, so the commercial people at the club and kit company would never have gone with it.

The Kraken Posted 13 June, 2012 Share Posted 13 June, 2012 (edited) Did anybody sit down and calculate how many teams play in R & W stripes ? I want Saints to have a unique and ubiquitous kit, based on the club history. Well I can't help thinking you'd be unhappy about any new design if that were the case. We've done the sash; great kit, best selling ever and will remain timeless as it had no sponsor and was such a simple design. After the sash we wore red and white quarters; we did that for the commerorative game at The Dell and it looked awful. We had red and white halves for a couple of years after that; not tried it but the mock-ups look extremely daft. We then had red and white stripes for 90 years. But apparently you're bored of those, so that's out. So really, based on "history", we're really only left with the Patrick Air Florida/Rank Xerox red and white, the Hummel Denmark kit, or the all red Patrick Draper Tools (with white/black shoulders). The mockups seen so far seem to be a cross of the Hummel and the all red, but apparently that's an abomination too. So I don't think there's anything there that could possibly meet your design brief, apart from the Patrick Air Florida as a starting point.
