St Jim Posted 15 March, 2015 Share Posted 15 March, 2015 Can someone explain why the Yanks insist on referring to our league as the BPL? Should we all start calling theirs the USMSL? It's THE Premier League mofo's.... Don't worry, here in Oz it's the EPL and it s***s me no end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alehouseboys Posted 15 March, 2015 Share Posted 15 March, 2015 [ATTACH=CONFIG]1614[/ATTACH] ???????? Clicking on the properties, that seems to be Nuremburg's current shirt, which is a 2014/15 template (Swindon are also wearing a similar style). And the other link took me to last year's kit thread. PS It doesn't like "https:" URLs. Works well imo. A few pages back...just a 'what it could look like' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redslo Posted 15 March, 2015 Share Posted 15 March, 2015 Can someone explain why the Yanks insist on referring to our league as the BPL? Should we all start calling theirs the USMSL? It's THE Premier League mofo's.... The B stands for Barclay's so I am not convinced that USMSL would be comparable to BPL. The network announcers here tend to follow the requirements of sponsorship and refer to the league by its officially sponsored name. I have been trying to change to calling it the Premier League or EPL--at least until Barclays starts paying me money to do otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doggface Posted 16 March, 2015 Share Posted 16 March, 2015 IMO it is all about acronyms. I do use BPL (barclays premier league) on social media. Premier League takes alot longer to type on any device than BPL. Just 'cos i'm lazy. People say EPL here in Canada. I have no problem with that. I always call it "The Premier League". It's better than multiple numpty's (including many pro's) calling it "The Premiership" when it hasnt been called that since 2007! Anyway.....any kit news?

once_bitterne Posted 16 March, 2015 Share Posted 16 March, 2015 (If any of this is true) I understand to a point a need to have a link up with a US team but don't really get why it needs to ruin our away kit. Those yank fans aren't going to start buying it or supporting us, and I'd suggest your average Saints fan doesn't really give a monkeys about that kind of US partnership, certainly not if it means being lumbered with a god awful second kit. So, basically, I'm out. Well I've read some ******** on here..... You do realise one of the main reasons Man U will get paid £75m every season for wearing Adidas shirts and £50m for having Chevrolet on the front of them is due to the strength of their support abroad? While we will never be anything like as big as Man U abroad it's moronic to think 'the yanks won't support us or buy our kits'. The US started a massive new tv deal with NBC this season bringing the sport to millions of viewers who had not watched the game before and who are looking for team to support and guess what.... we've been doing pretty well this season and those who want to be a bit different to just supporting Man U or Chelsea would see us as a good option. On another Saints forum I post on we have already had several new US fans find the place and start posting. Funnily one has already ordered both home and away kits from the website and took a trip over here to see us play for the 1st time against Swansea, QPR and West Ham. It's absurdly insular to think that this is 'our' game and that people from other countries won't become our fans. If we really want to compete with the big boys in these days of FFP then strengthening our foreign fanbase will be very important indeed...

If Coca Cola want to give us £20m over three seasons to promote their new Green Coke, fine. Change the away kit tomorrow. But some strategic partnership with a NASL should not see us changing our away kit. Them changing their kit, fine. Not the other way round. Much like the "them orientals love red they do so all them Chinese will support Saints if we have a red kit" horsesh it from a while back, what you are saying is just nonsense. Americans might start supporting us in huge numbers if we win stuff and get in the CL but mainly they'll support Man United, Chelsea and Barcelona. But of course we're picking up some NBC fans - we've been in the frigging top four all season, and clearly being a hipster/niche club to follow, much like we were last season too. Because American football fans will follow good teams. They're not the malleable saps you think they are. We finish top four and we'll gain fans, green kit or not.

The9 Posted 17 March, 2015 Author Share Posted 17 March, 2015 So much non-kit utter crap on this thread since the last time I looked. And yes, BPL starts with Barclays, just like EPL starts with English. Easy enough to abbreviate and perfectly reasonable to do so wherever you're from. Not convinced on the green for strategic partnership stuff, but it's a weird choice without. Though I do like it, even of it ends up only being green for New Forest and blue for the Solent. Or they could do the Solent Green thing again, and we can finally find out what they serve kids in the Academy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB Fry Posted 17 March, 2015 Share Posted 17 March, 2015 So if Microsoft want to give us money to promote Xbox, whose brand colour is green? Not sure I understand your question. My second line about Coke I think already answers what I think you're asking me. Fat wodge of cash = we change away kit. Strategic friendly partnership with MLS team? They change their away kit.

cellone Posted 17 March, 2015 Share Posted 17 March, 2015 I think linking our kit with one American club is limiting. I can see that the American team would hope to benefit from a bond with a team from the top half of the PL but if the supporters over there are at all similar to those in this country then we will be affiliated with rivals to most.

There's no logical reason why an American team link would necessitate a longer kit deal with adidas. In fact the only remotely relevant facts there are that MLS has an adidas kit deal for all its clubs (not done by the club itself). Saints are in a much stronger negotiating position as of now for the deal after it than they were even a year ago, never mind the 3 years since the last deal was agreed and it makes a lot of sense not to commit to a longer deal when the possibility of Europe is still there.

Well the leaked kits that are getting everyone excited do have a sash on the away shirt which as far as I am concerned correlates with what Turkish said - I don't think he stipulated it was the home shirt at all.

angelman Posted 29 April, 2015 Share Posted 29 April, 2015 I imagine that kits get leaked and then the manufacturers go to the fans forums to gauge opinion. If so, home shirt has red & white stripes so looks fine, and the away looks good. Away shirts should be where you monkey around and have a bit of fun.
