2014/15 Kit Revealed - #TheStripesAreBack

[The9]

It'll be a couple of these 2014/15 Adidas designs :

 

Condivo 14

 

Tabe 14

 

Regista 14

 

Entrada 14

 

Plus this season's styles will remain in use (we've had 2 of these already) :

Campeon :

Tiro :

Squadra :

Autheno :

Estro :

 

So there we go, unless we're deluded into thinking we'll have stripes again for some reason, or are that bothered about who the new sponsors will be, the kit discussion is done and dusted and a good 8 months before the end of this season.

[The9]

GK and shorts here too :

 

 

Info came from here : http://www.footyheadlines.com/2013/08/adidas-14-15-2014-15-teamwear-kits.html

I'm guessing it won't be any of the bottom row.

[The9]

Oh, and they've also got a calendar of boot styles/colours and releases up until May 2014, so none of that needs to be a surprise either :

I should hope not, Brentford have the reverse of the white/red one this season, we'd look like right mugs, like Pompey do this season with their "bespoke" Sondico home shirt, which is the same design as last year's Dagenham and Redbridge Vandanel away shirt.

[Shandy_Top_89]

Campeon in red would have been a much better home kit, although that may be due to me being all OCD about home and away kit patterns matching.

 

Calling red entrada with white shorts and yellow entrada with black shorts for next season.

[Fan The Flames]

I too think the home and away should come from the same line. I would be happy with a red Autheno with red shorts and light blue/dark blue Autheno with light blue shorts for next season.

Campeon in red is what Aberdeen are wearing. It's not difficult to see that adidas didn't allocate our current home kit style in red and white stripes to anyone else though, both Stoke and Sunderland have other styles and West Brom have two striped shirts in that style, white/navy and red/black.

[The9]

I too think the home and away should come from the same line. I would be happy with a red Autheno with red shorts and light blue/dark blue Autheno with light blue shorts for next season.

 

I'd be gutted, the Autheno was what Bristol City wore in 2012/13 (with black on the shoulders), it's bad enough wearing an almost identical shirt to them this season, to wear a two year old version of their previous kit would be a massive p155take.

[diggers]

I recon the Squadra red is the best of a boring bunch, slightly more retro Saints.

[KelvinsRightGlove]

Is it just me that really isn't that bothered about the kit?

[Badger]

Bottom left from that lot , anything else "ain't saintly".

 

BUT: I bet Ajax won't be selecting from that range. Just depends if Cortese - Mr Big in the transfer world - is prepared to negotiate for something special, or will just roll over and be palmed off with third rate rubbish AGAIN.

[Cascadia Saint]

Just trying to save you from having to trawl 50 pages again.

 

You're going to tell us there's no Santa or Easter Bunny next.

 

Man needs hope to survive, dammit!

[Saint_clark]

Tabe 14, Estro or Autheno are the only decent ones there, the rest are so boring. Any idea how long we're tied into this contract?

[Fan The Flames]

Who would know and who would care.

[Stoozer]

Well, if we're not going for stripes again (my preferred choice) then I'd lump with Autheno or Entrada 14. Although I think our Premier League kits since our return have not been worth buying.

[doggface]

Not necessarily. All of west spams kits, Sunderlands kits and stoke home off the top of my head are not 2013 teamwear templates.

Also all teamwear designs can be altered ie west brom's tiro has stripes, our home has no wings or seam and a different colour.

 

World cup kits are worth keeping an eye on for clues.

[Brave Sir Robin]

As this year, It'll no doubt be whichever is cheapest for the club, so as to maximise the amount we can afford to spend on players (presumably).

 

As for the colour scheme, it wouldn't surprise me at all if we were open to wearing whatever colours our sponsors prefer, F1 style.

 

And frankly, as long as we're still in the prem, I personally don't give a flying one!

[Matthew Le Tissier]

I hate to break more bad news to you. But next year we will be blessed with the return of the "saints" own brand kit.

 

Thanks to none other than mr cortese

OK I'll bite. What do you base that on? What's your source?

 

I only ask as when we announced the Addidas deal it was stated as being "long term"

Thanks for info mate

 

[Matthew Le Tissier]

Cortese had one of his many disputes with Adidas I believe. Unless the damage can be undone we will be our own brand I'm afraid

Did he upset Nike, Puma, Warrior or every other sporting goods manufacturer as well then?

New hand at the tiller, new rules I would say. 'Long term' contracts have a habit of working themselves out, better that then severance fees.

[Matthew Le Tissier]

Save the thread and come back with your pathetic comments at the start of next season when your moaning about your new shirt falling apart

[Matthew Le Tissier]

On the plus side. I think it may be stripes lol

Well, Katharina did use the word tradition so we live in hope!

Sticking to the adidas thing, they really need to do something about the durability of the sponsor logos, my black shirt is ruined by the aap3 logo not being able to withstand a few washes. (Before anyone asks, on 40 C synthetic setting.)

Ah well. If true hopefully it will be the last year.

[Dig Dig]

The fall out with Addidas was because NC had designed a bespoke striped shirt which was supposed to be free for all season ticket holders but Addidas messed up the order and sent 1000's of the template ones instead.

[Griffo]

Hope we get our stripes back. I'd even buy one if we did. Not that I'd wear it apart from when playing football.

1 year in on a long term deal...can't see it somehow pal.

You're a very unusual individual.

[paulwantsapint]

Don't see a problem with saints manufacturing their own kit if it's done to a high standard NC/KL have the money to do it properly unlike 15 years ago when Lowe tried to do it on the cheap

[DT]

It constantly amazes me that a great company like Adidas, with its whole aesthetic based on stripes, cannot seize the opportunity of a club, whose whole aesthetic is based on stripes. And do a good kit that marries both. Bad news we're going back to a gumby home-knitted design.

[Saint Garrett]

Hope our kit isn't a standard "off the shelf" design.

Made in China, presumably

[Saint86]

The last 2 in table 14 for me. Prefer this years kit to stripes tbh. Makes a nice change, and we look like red and white wasps the way we press and hassle the opposition. Suits the new southampton tbh.

[once_bitterne]

REALLY hope we don't play in stripes ever again. As we all know stripes are for losers (and deck chairs)

 

Getting the sash back would be the preferable option. Give the club it's own unique look and not just another mirror of Stoke and Sunderland.

 

Failing that a return to the 'Xerox' era kit would be a nice nod to 'tradition'.

[Bananaman]

if I were adviser to KL I would say "talk a lot about tradition and give 'em stripes next season, they'll think youre ****ing great"

[Hatch]

I just hope we get to choose our own style, instead of having it chosen for us by some suit sat in his office in Bavaria browsing through a catalogue.

[LuckyNumber7]

Am I the only one who would be happy with this? I thought it was cool how we had our own brand, and they can't be any worse than the Adidas kits. Most important though, I really hope we get our stripes back.

[Smirking_Saint]

Meh, liked the last few incarnations and actually like our current kit, was getting so bored of stripes, theres not a lot of variation you can do TBH

[Barry Sanchez]

The Estro is the best, awesome kit.

[Barry Sanchez]

Fck stripes. The red/white squadra shirt with black shorts and white socks would look good.

 

Rather we have one specifically designed for us though.

 

So you disgaree with the owners about respecting our history?
