The9 Posted 5 July, 2016 Author Share Posted 5 July, 2016 New PL numbers and typography - absolutely vile... [ATTACH=CONFIG]2088[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]2089[/ATTACH] That's interesting - not until next season though presumably - they've left it too late for this season, some clubs have had their 2016/17 shirts on sale for months already? And yeesh, ridiculous number design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diggers Posted 5 July, 2016 Share Posted 5 July, 2016 Not the best design, but I still prefer it to a plain shirt. Question, does the Saints crest look larger than normal? Maybe an optical illusion because of the bib but the crest size makes it look a bit Fisher Price to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_Ash Posted 5 July, 2016 Share Posted 5 July, 2016 Looks worse than i thought this time. I'm fine with not liking a kit just for patterns, style etc., but I didn't expect a sports bra. Shown a few non saints and non football fans, and they all saw the bra pretty quickly. bizarre design choice. ditch the bra and just have the stripes with a black collar and you'd have a simple but stylish shirt anyway. Means we're not looking like Stoke, Sunderland and any other red and white striped team though. It will grow when we see Saints winning in the strip.

The9 Posted 5 July, 2016 Author Share Posted 5 July, 2016 Obviously we saw this a few days ago. I think it's about a 7.5/10. The white yoke looks a bit weird and I don't like that it's an old template, but it looks alright. Good to see the sponsor looks quite decent, we shall see what it's made of, and whether it's a sweat magnet on the front of the home shirt. And the online shop confirms the back is indeed striped - for the last time. The red yoke mockup version is better than the white one (but it was fairly obvious seeing the sail and the early video that it was going to be the white one). Having said that, they'd better be selling the red-backed one in the store rather than just making it player stock, irrespective of whether it also has the red yoke on it or not. Also, having just seen the new Prem numbers, I'm REALLY hoping they're not using them until next season (and hopefully redesign them entirely). Just pointlessly over-produced.

Maybe an optical illusion because of the bib but the crest size makes it look a bit Fisher Price to me. The badge looks bigger because there's a large black border as well as it possibly being larger anyway as well (some of the other pics seemed to show a white border not black?) - the UA logo seems pretty big too, so maybe they've just shown smaller shirts?

The9 Posted 5 July, 2016 Author Share Posted 5 July, 2016 Oh and FWIW I think the away kit is incredibly uninspired and outright boring - the green thing from last season looks like an iconic masterpiece in comparison. Heard interesting stuff about it being "different", but sheesh, it's just bland (and it also looks like one of the recent Liverpool aways, which is a bit silly).

suewhistle Posted 5 July, 2016 Share Posted 5 July, 2016 Not sure why some of you have an issue with sports bras. :-) I've got a couple of shirts for training (not a wearer to games) but as I wait until I can get something in the sales it'll probably have grown on me by then. A few wins will help. I'm popping into M&S at Hedge End this evening, you've reminded me I could do with a new high impact bra, particularly if Rallyboy is playing 5-a-side tonight: his style is a bit Boris Johnson..

doggface Posted 5 July, 2016 Share Posted 5 July, 2016 I think they are pretty **** tbh. Let's not be pedantic about how high it is, it still looks like a ****ing sports bra. On the plus side, I think the Virgin Media logo looks great and I like what they have done with the stripes. But the bra kills it for me, Red would have looked better imo. Dissapointed they are using a year old template - hardly cutting edge. Not a fan of the stuck on badges on the training kit and the kits themselves - looks tacky. However both the home and away kit's do have an embroidered badge on the online club shop which looks much better imo (odd!?) #braraised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meatball Posted 5 July, 2016 Share Posted 5 July, 2016 So, to summarise, we lost one of the best managers in the league, the our best midfielder, then our best attacking player, we will probably lose our big striker, our new manager took far too long to be announced, and when he was, no one knew who he was and everyone wanted someone else. We've had to wait too long for the kit release and endured too much hype around it. No it has been release it is "vomit inducing" and "terrible" and looks like ladies undercrackers. I might go and browse the Aston Villa and Newcastle forum to cheer myself up! Miserable hits. I like the kit by the way.

The9 Posted 5 July, 2016 Author Share Posted 5 July, 2016 What amuses me is the wild veering between "it's only a kit" and "it's the worst thing ever", often with some people claiming the groupthink is the latter when all the evidence is the former.

Singapore Saint Posted 5 July, 2016 Share Posted 5 July, 2016 It's definitely an under armer. You'd think that somone would have pointed out that it looks like they've raised the bra. At least it doesn't have a small, white triangle at the bottom. We should be grateful for small mercies. Terrific comment, Nordic, made me laugh. 'Raised bra' hits the nail on the head. 'Triangle at the bottom' LOL My first impression of the shirt is it's hideous. But the Virgin Media logo is rather nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't please everyone though, we've got 1.4 million odd that follow our Facebook page, 579k that follow us on twitter, if it's safe to assume this is the rough estimate of our fan base you aren't going to please them all, its impossible. The general consensus on here is negative but there's only 1000 replies which is a very small fraction of our fan base, on twitter the reaction has been much more positive. If you consulted with fans on a kit you'd be there all day, there would be countless arguments and they'd miss their manufacturing deadlines. A good idea in theory, but not practice.
