Chin Strain Posted 29 June, 2012 Share Posted 29 June, 2012 Step awaaaaaaaay from the endless pedantic nitpicking argument you're about to get drawn into. The broad point that we usually play in stripes is completely relevant. I know, I know....what was I thinking? It's been a long week and I have a beer in hand...must do better in future!

Colinjb Posted 29 June, 2012 Share Posted 29 June, 2012 It's fine, but it's change, which is why people will react. It's human nature, no one likes change, but it happens to all of us. There was some negative reaction to the Sash, but not this much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sussexsaint Posted 29 June, 2012 Share Posted 29 June, 2012 (edited) Have we "done a Cardiff"? Although as we were a red and white team anyway, a change to all red isn't quite as dramatic.

buctootim Posted 29 June, 2012 Share Posted 29 June, 2012 So what do we think of Trouser's carpet then? Too much Blue? bad fitting? This is the real Story and one that we shoudl be focussing pour attention on. Man up the the real issue boys and girls. I'm pretty distressed that his skirting board appears to be made of white tiles and both the picture and wall light are out of scale with the room. Kind face though.

Chin Strain Posted 29 June, 2012 Share Posted 29 June, 2012 (edited) The carpet is a bit of a shocker....and it looks like someone could do with getting a paintbrush on the skirting boards TBH Edited 29 June, 2012 by Chin Strain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leslie Charteris Posted 29 June, 2012 Share Posted 29 June, 2012 Now here's a proper home kit... ...but I guess, as has been pointed out, the club is looking for a new image for a new era. There are media pressures, too. How many times last season did you hear a TV commentator say something like "Oh, those names are almost impossible to read against the stripes." If next season is successful, I don't expect the kit will be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grown men throwing their toys out of the pram over the wrong type of stripes and the wrong colour shorts. You need to get a life So if we don't like the shorts changing colour we should keep it to ourselves? I think its a far more important issue than many, many things that have been discussed to death on here. Should certainly not be dismissed out of hand as you suggest.

dune Posted 29 June, 2012 Share Posted 29 June, 2012 I think this might be a cunning plan by Nicky. Give a brief to design the worst kit ever and then a whole new kit can be brought out in 12 months and everyone will say how much better it is and buy it.

It certainly rivals the mid 80's 'Steve Zodiac' and the Pony tick, although to be fair to Pony at least they attempted something akin to stripes.

Saint J 77 Posted 29 June, 2012 Share Posted 29 June, 2012 Ok I voted "Is this really all we have to talk about?" but I was kind of prepared for this kit because of the ITK posters on here. Now I've seen it on the players, especially the shot of Tandari Lee I think it looks ok and that I will grow to like it. The main problem with the design (apart from not being red and white stripes ) for me is the heavy white outline on the aap3 logo. If it was a little less heavy outline stroke it would look better I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chin Strain Posted 29 June, 2012 Share Posted 29 June, 2012 just watch the clip on saintsTV. we have had the sash, full red kit, stripes (more so) a half and half type of kit.... this is just another slightly different kit to the non stripe design According to this http://www.the-football-club.com/southampton-kits.html we have had what can only be described as red and white stripes in the 116 years since 1896, with the possible exception of 1985-1989 and maybe 81-83 (and clearly 2010/11) - 107 years of red and white stripes. Since 1950 we've had black shorts in all but 2010/11. 61 years out of 62. That's why I say it's ok, but not quite Saints. That's it really.

This one is just awful and not a Saints shirt. It's just like a forest shirt and even the old Liverpool shirts (the crown paints ones) from the 80's (spit).
