Singapore Saint Posted 8 July, 2016 Share Posted 8 July, 2016 Even the posters on RAWK refer to it as a 'bra', so everyone else will. Can someone tell the club it looks like a bra? And that some players and fans will be embarrassed wearing it, before it's too late when performances on the pitch and sales dip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted 8 July, 2016 Share Posted 8 July, 2016 Likewise. Very simple but classic design. Have to say though that there is absolutely no consistency between the designs for the three Spurs shirts. It looks almost as though they are being used to advertise the different options available to Sunday league teams...now there's an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluto Posted 8 July, 2016 Share Posted 8 July, 2016 The simple clean design of the Spurs stuff and Villa, clearly shows how we have been dealt garbage.

The9 Posted 11 July, 2016 Author Share Posted 11 July, 2016 Most disappointed to see the shirt Hjobjerg is holding up and the fact the (printed red on white) stripes on the front are clearly a much lighter red than the (dyed) red sleeves and collar. Looks like a dodgy colour match at best and a jarring contrast at worst. It is an ongoing problem with mixing white shirts with red stripes printed on them with actual red material though - and it's not like you can print white on red shirts well is it? I'm still buying it. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much bothered either way but ours doesn't look any better when stacked against all the other offerings, in fact considering it's a 'new' offering from an established and usually decent manufacturer I'd say somebody, somewhere has dropped a huge bollock, it's shocking.

mrfahaji Posted 12 July, 2016 Share Posted 12 July, 2016 With the possible exception of Middlesbrough's home shirt, I think ours is the worst kit in the entire league. It's worse now than when I first saw it - the side panel isn't consistent with any other part and looks more like they've used some offcuts to fill the remaining space. The collar is atrocious. And obviously the show stopper for the wrong reasons is the ludicrous white panel. I quite like the shorts, but that's about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home AND away both look superb, with WBA away splitting them for my top 3. All the others just get a "meh".

Yep, even more incredible that the apparently newly savvy commercial dept at the club signed it off, or indeed chose it alongside other designs. It really was an easy early win for under armour, with a take on the Rank Xerox or sash likely to engage the fans immediately, or even a traditional slick red and white stripes effort. It's the same with a yellow and blue away kit (worn in all three of our major cup finals in living memory), which 'is Saints' and just looks so much better than the alternatives. Mind boggling...

Saint Garrett Posted 12 July, 2016 Share Posted 12 July, 2016 The more I look at ours the more I dislike it, and I actually quite liked it to begin with. What were they thinking with the white bit at the top? Should have just kept it simple, Sunderland's is a standard Adidas template but would say it's a nicer kit than ours. Shame.

Teenagers stuff. Apparently written by one as well... On the Bournemouth kit.

Saint86 Posted 12 July, 2016 Share Posted 12 July, 2016 I mean in any group this large plenty are going to have no taste, you only need to look around the crowd for that. Some will just buy it regardless and some will just refuse to see anything wrong with their own club's stuff. But that shirt is vile. Even if you're one of the strangely sighted people who can't see the sports bra, what is going on at the sides of the shirt? The mismatched red colours? And the thin stripes don't do the sponsor panel any favours, it's all too much! Any news on whether we get a different one for Europe? Agreed, the kit is appalling. Worst we've had since the first season back and the pinstripe. And worst "proper" striped kit I can remember. Very glad I got one last season if we're going to get this crap every year under UA. I suspect there will be a minority wearing the new one this year. I hope so at least. A strong message needs to be sent that it simply isn't good enough.

Thing is, they can produce anything they want for the "first UA Saints kit", because the new brand sells itself. They also have to come up with 7 years' worth of kits, changing it every season, so I'm not surprised they went with a year old design, because we'll probably end up with everything they've got over the course of the 7 years, and we haven't had one of that design yet (even if Toluca and Spurs did last season). The yellow kit thing is as simple as "all Saints fans already have a yellow kit and most of them won't buy another one". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A strong message needs to be sent that it simply isn't good enough. We sold enough of that awful all red thing to know that there's a base number who'll buy it no matter what (I bought that one for £10 in April of that season as opposed to most years on launch day at full price - minus ST discount). It's significantly better than the two red Cortese efforts, and will probably shift more as a result - though one of those had the benefit of the return to the Premier League bounce. It's still a little bit weird to me that we only got one striped shirt out of a supposedly 3 year adidas deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 13 July, 2016 Author Share Posted 13 July, 2016 That photo seems to show early options rather than the actual kit and is a little confusing. The socks are mainly white with red rather than red with white (I guess they could be alternates), and the training top (right) we're currently using doesn't look anything like that (there's no white lower sleeve on any of them, and the red training top has a black panel on the top of the red one and a narrow fluorescent line across the front). Quite like the keeper socks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
