Frank's cousin Posted 29 June, 2012 Share Posted 29 June, 2012 I love it. The comments on this thread that is. Who would've known some coloured fabric could arouse such emotions. I quite like both kits too btw, not that it matters. Well you know that some onlt get 'aroused' when they have an opportunity to moan about something...

COMEONYOUREDS Posted 29 June, 2012 Share Posted 29 June, 2012 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. Err, that's not at all what I said. Are you paranoid I was referring to you?

aintforever Posted 29 June, 2012 Share Posted 29 June, 2012 It reminds me of when I had to get a kit for my local youth club team. Had a range of bog standard designs to choose from and shoved a sponsor on the front. No doubt the club just found the cheapest design and ordered a container full. It's all about the margin, they know the mugs will buy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chin Strain Posted 29 June, 2012 Share Posted 29 June, 2012 no one said this 2 years ago They probably did to be fair...because it would have been true. Anyway, 2 years ago was a one off to celebrate 125 years and was the same as our original kit. As I said, I don't mind the kit, but it's not a typical Saints kit.

cleaver Posted 29 June, 2012 Share Posted 29 June, 2012 sorry, not liking the home kit at all, that is not us, umbro going out with a statement? who knows. I hoped all this ITK boll ix was just a smokescreen and that the club had deliberately leaked false information to smoke out the moles, but obviously i was wrong. I think they could have swapped the shorts over between kits to make it a bit less liverpool though! I suppose we've got a cracking close season next year to debate what the NEW kit manufacturer will do with STRIPES, Hopefully!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypochondriac Posted 29 June, 2012 Share Posted 29 June, 2012 Seems the kit is pretty unpopular, on here at least.

Frank's cousin Posted 29 June, 2012 Share Posted 29 June, 2012 Seriously, you heard it here first... ssssh, keep this to yourself, but its... a conspiracy... a cunning plan by NC to finally rid the club of thsoe who he displeases - those that harbour some deep seated resentment for some inexplicable reason... by introducng the Liverppol kit form the 80s, he hopes they will finally go and support Portsmouth and let the club alone to build the new era of glory. Come on you REDs - or he took that literally Or he took one look at the imposter in Trousers's house messing with his carpet, and thought to himself that 'someonze musta introdusa some style to zees Eenglisha fanz' just lika Tukish and Duney = I aska them as Gay men alwaysa gotta style' I tell you its all true as I am ITK on this.

lordswoodsaints Posted 29 June, 2012 Share Posted 29 June, 2012 I don't like it but as I hardly ever buy kits I don't give a monkeys. Whoever approved it obviously wanted to move away from tradition or is unaware of tradition,perhaps there is some unknown reason to go with it,maybe it's for televisual pleasure or to please the sponsors?...who knows? It's cheap and tacky looking and that's exactly what you will look like if you wear it but at the end of the day I don't really give a **** what the players wear as long as they win enough games to stay in the prem.
