niceandfriendly Posted 27 June, 2013 Share Posted 27 June, 2013 I agree that the colours are nice on the away one, I just can't stand that big white bit on the armpit. Really ugly. yep, really not sure what the designers were thinking with those white blocks on the sleeves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 27 June, 2013 Share Posted 27 June, 2013 Not a massive fan of the new shirt, if indeed that is the new shirt. If another primarily all red shirt and maybe shorts is correct, it would nice to know why we've moved away from our more traditional stripes. Cardiff made a more drastic change but at least they explained why! Also, weren't there rumours of a new signing perhaps showing off the new kit, I wonder if this is true although technically Lovren is a new signing and could be used for this function...

orchardsaint Posted 27 June, 2013 Share Posted 27 June, 2013 i am torn. i don't like the fact we are not in stripes, we are stripes after all, but then again, i liked the 100 year anniversary kit, the bacon rasher of colin clarke et al, and the 125 year kit! there were some boring stripey versions recently, (flybe with black thick stripes down arm, for one), so i am holding out until i see it on. probably on my son as he will want one. anyway, look at nigel adkins. no one wanted him gone, but everyone has dealt with it. the king is dead, long live the king. stripes will return!

SnailOB Posted 27 June, 2013 Share Posted 27 June, 2013 Not bothered Forgetting the design for a moment - 4th shirt in 4 years, and with change of sponsor expected next season, most likely 5 in 5. Wasn't that long ago fans moaned about this sort of thing, now its a social media frenzy because we 'might' have seen something a day early.

berkshiresaint Posted 27 June, 2013 Share Posted 27 June, 2013 Is it just me that finds the idea of a premier league team playing in an Adidas stock kit whilst all the other Adidas equipped teams in the PL seem to have their own type of kit hard to believe? That kit looks like something we would train in and not a match kit which would be in effect an advert for Adidas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eurosaint Posted 27 June, 2013 Share Posted 27 June, 2013 FWIW I think that it is pretty crap, seems to me that Adidas are pulling the strings and have emphasised their '3 stripe' shoulder for their own benefit (it is just one of their regular warm up tops with our badge and sponsor on it!) rather than promoting any Saints tradition ! If we also have red shorts and socks then it's Liverpool mark 2, yet again ! No imagination, not Saints, not for me.... Grrrr... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordy Posted 27 June, 2013 Share Posted 27 June, 2013 I voted "I don't like it, but will buy it anyways" This is purely down to the last shirt I brought was the 'sash' and have worn it to games every season since. Its now pretty old and is needing a replacement unfortunately I may see if there's any retro shirts in the store for this season and get one of those instead. This, and the last seasons shirt have been awful imo. If it's also over £45 they can stick it. One season rotation at those prices is a rip off, especially if its not an entirely unique design to us. I'm sure they'll sell *we get told by the marketing dept* record breaking numbers, and I'll probably be one of them unless i can find an alternative. Could just buy a plain red t-shirt tbh... Would be practically the same thing ffs. In fact can i change my answer to "i don't like it, and i not buying one. I'm going to get a red t-shirt for £3 at primark" Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastleighSoulBoy Posted 27 June, 2013 Share Posted 27 June, 2013 IF this is the actual shirt, then am I the only one who thinks the sleeves look a bloody mess? Caveat: If this is the real thing. I agree Phil, the sleeves look very poor. I note the nice and subtle changes to the club emblem but please NOT in gold. The shirt, generally, reminds me of Arsenal so I'm not impressed in that respect. We do need a general style which says Southampton but that does negate the full on stripes which we are all used to (e.g. Stoke, Sunderland). Last season's home shirt grew on me but I can't see this one doing so. I know I'm being critical and sadly I have no real alternative to offer.

Dr Who? Posted 27 June, 2013 Share Posted 27 June, 2013 I will not buy this, if it turns out to be the shirt. Gold... No I will not do it. Wrong crest, but looks like the one that has been on the program's for a while, so looks like the club are modernising the crest. The crest is crocked! It is terrible.

Professor Posted 27 June, 2013 Share Posted 27 June, 2013 sale of replica shirts has become a common rip-off across football but fans must blame themselves for falling for it. The cynical marketing ploy is that each year's shirt has to be noticeably different or fans will carry on using an old shirt. So that's what fans should do. If you want stripes wear stripes, regardless of what shirt is being used on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
