The9 Posted 27 May, 2012 Share Posted 27 May, 2012 We are doing it the Southampton way, how many time FFS? They have all got it wrong, we have got it right. For future reference, my attitude to that is "so far doing it our way works regarding on-pitch activity, but not in every aspect of everything the club does off it, especially where fans are concerned".

The9 Posted 27 May, 2012 Share Posted 27 May, 2012 (edited) Oh, and wondering if the GK shirts seen on Soccer Aid might be next season's Umbro style, haven't seen them before. Seen the "Winchester" outfield shirts loads though, they're a couple of years old.

The9 Posted 27 May, 2012 Share Posted 27 May, 2012 Other new teamwear styles from Umbro : Classic and Aston - the former is the new Canada kit and the latter, last season's Blackburn away (and Saints away without the contrasting sleeve colour). But by definition these aren't going to be "new" shirts for the forthcoming season, they're now basically parks kits... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilchards Posted 27 May, 2012 Share Posted 27 May, 2012 My guess is it will be just like Man City's kit but in all red with faded white pins stripes Yuk and bloody boring.

Well, I would have thought that having a red kit and a white kit would be a problem when playing a team wearing red and white stripes (like, say, Sunderland or Stoke) might be the obvious answer...

The9 Posted 28 May, 2012 Share Posted 28 May, 2012 (edited) Presumably the theory is that Saints fans will buy something different because of what happened with the sash kit. I think they've misjudged the audience - the sash sold well because it looked like a polo shirt, and was quite plain, a historically classic and legitimately retro style, and could also be worn away from football reasonably enough. Plus it was a ONE-OFF, an exception ! This thing looks like one of loads of Saints red training tops I've seen so it's not unique (and a 1994-ish Forest kit), it has no historical basis, doesn't look "classic" and I think people will dump all over it. The shorts and socks might tone down the overall look, but at first glance, euw. Going to find a pic of that Forest shirt...

itchen_dan Posted 28 May, 2012 Share Posted 28 May, 2012 Why? It's nice. It's just not Saints. If it was white with red pinstripes I think it'd be better. Saints are actually White and Red (White Shirt with Red Stripes) rather than Red and White (Red shirt with White Stripes). If it is released, it won't be a big hit but I think after a couple of friendlies, it will grow on a lot of people and then go on to be a big hit like last years kit but I don't think it'll have the same initial impact.

I just can't understand why someone would spend £42 on a shirt, and then however much Prem number printing is at JJB (just checked, it's £10 usually), just to turn the shirt into something with no basis in reality. I can understand people putting their own name on a shirt (even their username!), or getting a slogan, or a tribute, but I just don't know why you'd go out of your way to make it look "wrong".

Colinjb Posted 28 May, 2012 Share Posted 28 May, 2012 Why? It's nice. As something on it's own..... ok, not a bad football shirt. But it's not a Saints home kit.... it's a Forest home kit, a Liverpool home kit.... A miscelaneous shirt for a team whose primary colour is red. That is not a Saints kit. Our primary colours are Red and White, evenly.... arguably with more bias to white. (The '76 home kit and Sash kit stick out as examples for this.... The Mid 80's Red with White/Black shoulder flashes is not a favourite of mine, again, it just doesn't look right.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are you judging popularity, as you're not talking about shirt sales ? Even allowing for the fledgling replica sales market back then, there are still loads more of the previous broad striped Patrick replicas (Rank Xerox usually) still popping up out there on eBay, whilst the "plain red" are only around in matchworns and are really rare. You'd have expected a "popular" shirt to get a big run like the previous shirt had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 28 May, 2012 Share Posted 28 May, 2012 that pin stripe shirt is hideous. Looks like a league 2 shirt. I never quite understand the link people make between footballing ability and shirt designers' ability. Some of the best shirts I've seen have come from smaller manufacturers, and some of the worst have been worn by huge teams. The new Man U home kit is one of the worst designs I have seen in some time, and even though it's probably well made, it looks like a crappy cheap tartan rug with some logos on it. And by all accounts, they're quite a good side. I generally don't like "screen printed" shirts, which look like cheap quality compared to some of the recent Umbro "Tailored By" range - I guess we'll have to see whether it looks cheap or decent.
