Dr Who? Posted 16 April, 2013 Share Posted 16 April, 2013 Stripes please, anything, but has to be stripes... they can rank zerox next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 16 April, 2013 Author Share Posted 16 April, 2013 Agree with both of above comments. But would still like a return to the KK era kit, if not conventional stripes. The Portland Timbers kit looks the favourite option to date. Out of interest does this have a contrast panel on the reverse as well, or is it a plain back ? Plain backs on both kits : Got to say I REALLY like the socks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlakeySFC Posted 16 April, 2013 Share Posted 16 April, 2013 Probably not even worth putting on here to be honest... But some guy on twitter earlier was saying that he asked the staff in the Megastore about kits next season and was told it would be Nike... Don't believe it myself as can't see why general staff would know but just passing on this info/rumour/speculation just in case anyone cares.

Going for Euro action via the fair play league might possibly have an effect on shirt design Yes, you can't have numbers on a striped back in Europe, it has to be a plain panel. However, that won't have any effect given that the deal and shirt choice were probably in the bag about 3 months ago if not before, we'd just bring out a Euro shirt with a plain back if we needed to.

Don't believe it myself as can't see why general staff would know but just passing on this info/rumour/speculation just in case anyone cares. The staff do occasionally get a sniff, I found out we were keeping the yellow shirt via a friend of a member of staff in the summer after a Facebook discussion about us playing a preseason friendly in yellow with otherwise strangely redundant blue Premier League numbers on the back. But I haven't heard ANYTHING about this kit, though the online rumour is adidas, and the Nike rumour as just as likely to be from a random person assuming we'll move to Nike from Umbro like England and Man City, when our Umbro contract will have ended so there's nothing to "convert to Nike", and Nike don't own Umbro any more anyway. Still waiting to hear or see anything tangible, and as ever slightly bewildered as to why the club doesn't at least announce the new supplier to kick off a bit of buzz, which plenty of other sides have done when still under contract to other manufacturers.

Not "officially", but I have heard minor things from people I know know, via other people. Where's the adidas news coming from then ? They and Nike are notoriously bad at stopping leaked pics and I'm surprised we haven't seen one yet if it's either of those.

FSC, which has gone downhill in the past 2 years, football-shirts.co.uk, which was good in 2012 but has also gone a bit to seed, and recently Todos Camisetas, once it became clear that all the former two were doing for a while was nicking all of their leaks. I occasionally pop into Design Football, SoccerBible, Historical Football kits, and Classic Kits too, amongst others. Don't bother with the forums though, I'm not interested in fantasy kits, just actual designs and anything on those pitches up on the main pages soon enough. Bit of a palaver with the 2 different leaked Chelsea kits this season ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 17 April, 2013 Share Posted 17 April, 2013 I've just read something that said black was ditched from Saints current kits at the request of chairman NC. He wanted Red and White (colours of the Swiss flag) as a tribute to ML. It went on to say that all future kits will be Red & White but don't be surprised to see green appear on the shirts instead of black. I think this may have been a tongue-in-cheek comment in relation to NC being a bit of a control freak and him wanting the team to play in the colours of the Italian flag... I wouldn't put it past him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit overexposed but it's only a mock-up. The "Swiss colours" thing has been in the back of my mind for a couple of years, but I think it's cobblers.

SaintJackoInHurworth Posted 18 April, 2013 Share Posted 18 April, 2013 Here's one I submitted last summer: I would possibly add a bit more black trim and would definitely combine it with black shorts. It may also need a bit more red and a bit less white. Nevertheless, hopefully you get the idea! (PS I appreciate that clubs aren't as free as this to create their own designs and have to go with variations based upon manufacturers designs, but that's a shame in my opinion!)

100%Red&White Posted 19 April, 2013 Share Posted 19 April, 2013 I've just read something that said black was ditched from Saints current kits at the request of chairman NC Black doesn't seem that out of favour, they've not long given the St Mary's stadium reception area a makeover and it's predominantly black. I wouldn't think too many would be surprised to see our second kit next season black maybe with silver badge and trim like the SMS decor, who knows they might even do a 'Cardiff' on us and do it as the home one!

Maybe when I'm bored. Just seen the new Valerenga shirt, I'd love to see this in a silver/black or yellow/blue. Like the socks and they'd look good in red/white too, though I prefer the diagonal 3 stripe flash socks some of the MLS sides have.

doggface Posted 23 April, 2013 Share Posted 23 April, 2013 Wow love that shirt. Adidas have the mls tied up here, they may well be designed directly in the states as their ranges have a lot more variety and colour combos. Compare to the frankly dull stoke, Sunderland and west brom offerings. Like those socks too, have they been seen outside mls? Don't think so.

Not yet, but then there aren't many "official" releases, MLS is one of the few leagues that has started with the 2013/14 kits already, and you don't often see the socks until launch or online sales.

Tbh most of the adidas kits are one of 3 styles, the MLS shirts have a variety of faffy prints on the front but they're basically the same styles aside from the daft print.

doubleonothing Posted 1 May, 2013 Share Posted 1 May, 2013 @SaintsfcViews: informed by a sources from St Mary's next year the kit will likely be from Addidas, and a major colour change as Cortese Hayes red+white @gossipsfc: @SaintsfcViews despite being chairman it's like making city be red or united blue! Just can't see it mate! Maybe different away kit tho @saintbillb: @gossipsfc @saintsfcviews he's got rid of the red and white carrier bags and the programme is black - could we be the black army? #saintsfc @SaintsfcViews: @gossipsfc I'd hate to see it as well. We have always been Red and White Army, but we know what Cortese is like.. @SaintsfcViews: @saintbillb @gossipsfc Mu source has hinted towards a kit colour of Black and gold, I think this could look nice, but love red and white @simongurney: @SaintsfcViews @gossipsfc we do know.
