BlakeySFC Posted 19 March, 2014 Share Posted 19 March, 2014 The diagonal pinstripes? Would probably look okay if we had black shorts/white socks. How do you know anyway? The shirt on the right is the one I'm on about: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvictaSaint Posted 19 March, 2014 Share Posted 19 March, 2014 The diagonal pinstripes? Would probably look okay if we had black shorts/white socks. How do you know anyway? Away shirt doesn't have the pinstripes; home shirt does (blue on yellow). Away shirt looks very dull. Awfully boring if true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pap Posted 19 March, 2014 Share Posted 19 March, 2014 What about this...? We had that style throughout the club's most successful period in League football from 1980 to 1985. Tweet the club, dude. I just have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I've got a couple of oldies that I still parade for 5 a side. But they now have so many clubs and churn out the same old monotonous sh*te for most of them. The same lazy template for almost every club. There are still some gems in amongst all that; Ajax 2013/14 home shirt is a beauty, for instance. But in the main they just go for a thoroughly lazy and generic approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing I've liked the least about our last two home kits (and there has been a lot) has been the red shorts, followed by the red socks. I'm not overly bothered about conventional stripes, as such, but it kind of stops being a proper Saints kit IMO when the shorts aren't black. Not overly keen on red socks either, it's white or black for me (best stripes kit was the late 80s Draper kit with black shorts black socks both with white trim).

The9 Posted 19 March, 2014 Author Share Posted 19 March, 2014 Anyone who says we didn't wear stripes in the 80s is a massive spud. The Air Florida/Rank Xerox etc Patrick kit was a broad white stripe, two narrower red stripes and two white stripes down the side. The next Patrick kit (Centenary shirt), yeah, that was red (with shiny red shadow stripes). The "Denmark" hummel kit was loads of red and white stripes in two shades to also create a halved effect overall. The next hummel kit was bona fide red and white stripes. Last year's kit, not stripes. I'm still not buying any of this "kit is signed off, can't change it" crap, it's March, we've not launched until August before. If they want to swap it, they can, just launch the yellow one first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlakeySFC Posted 21 March, 2014 Share Posted 21 March, 2014 Are we staying with Adidas for next year? We have a contract with adidas for next season, this doesn't mean however, that another manufacturer could theoretically come in and supersede our contract with adidas (Warrior just took over adidas' contract with Stoke City a few days ago). From everything I've heard though, I would say there's a very slim chance we'll be changing manufcaturer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
