The9 Posted 14 July, 2016 Author Share Posted 14 July, 2016 it's just the lighting that makes the shorts look navy right?? shame, I think the navy looks great with our kit, and is what we used to have I think. More unique. Think they've done a good job with shorts and socks style though. anyone know the sort of sizing with shorts? usually medium with adidas and nike, is it just UA's tops that are really slim? It is just the lighting, yes. They are black. I quite like the idea of navy shorts too, very Chivas of us. UA's replicas are regular fit anyway, but as usual with this kind of thing, I'd be trying them on before buying. God only knows how many thousand of the "own-brand" 2014/15 shirts must have been returned from online purchases because they were labelled up two sizes too small.

igsey Posted 14 July, 2016 Share Posted 14 July, 2016 I quite like the kit. Nothing world-changing, certainly not the best we've had recently, but a heck of a lot better than the Cortese red one with the stupid white V on the collar. I'd rather have this one than Stoke's!

doggface Posted 14 July, 2016 Share Posted 14 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... That jacket is the Saints Under Armour Jacket, they may rename it as something else but it exists. There are a handful of training and leisurewear not revealed yet.

OttawaSaint Posted 14 July, 2016 Share Posted 14 July, 2016 Our players and fans are certainly going to get a lot of stick from oppostion fans for wearing a bra this season. I guess we'll just have to get used to it like Brighton fans have had to with the boyfriend songs. Four Four Two's take on the bra shirt: "giving the wearer the impression that they’ve donned a brassiere over their shirt" http://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/whos-got-best-and-worst-kits-premier-league-season-you-decide Some real horror shows in there. Spurs home and away, Liverpool home, S'land 3rd, Man U home, Boro home, Everton away, Swansea home, Chelsea home & away all look terrible to me. But that's just my taste, some others will love them. I like Saints' new shirts but don't love them. In my opinion, Man C has what looks like a dark bra under a light top. Deffo looks more like a bra than our "white panel".

I'll be surprised if it launches with the white sleeves though. Just read that FourFourTwo article, how in the hell can they describe the away as "less bra-like" than the home when the panel design and size is exactly the same?

niceandfriendly Posted 14 July, 2016 Share Posted 14 July, 2016 Far from a moan or being upset but our home kit really is disgusting. Especially so when put up against all the others in the league. On the plus side though means there's no temptation to buy it. Money money Savey savey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 14 July, 2016 Author Share Posted 14 July, 2016 I think it's alright, just a bit more of a mess than it needed to be. Not entertaining the whole "bra" nonsense, no-one said it about last season's Spurs away which is the exact same style just with a couple of hoops on it. Though the away is much plainer, and as a result pretty bloody boring. I'm waiting to see if there's a Europa shirt or 3rd kit sold to resolve the plain back and Bournemouth away kit matching issues.

I've never really liked any Joma kit though, except maybe the Valencia shirt from 2012 and their adidas shirt was miles better last season anyway. I'd even rate Macron above Joma.

mrfahaji Posted 15 July, 2016 Share Posted 15 July, 2016 Hmm, suppose so... Toluca then. I don't remember any Mexican bra-talk... The Toluca kit doesn't look very good, but it looks better than our home shirt because the rest of the shirt is one colour. Not only do the stripes look weird, but our collar looks a different shade of red, the side panel has thinner stripes and a weird chunk of red and the white yoke doesn't go as far back over the shoulders as the Toluca kit either (though that may just be an illusion). It's the same reason that while I don't like our away kit, it's not quite the abomination our home strip is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same reason that while I don't like our away kit, it's not quite the abomination our home strip is! On the home shirt the collar's the same red as the sleeves because it's pre-dyed red material, the stripes are printed red on white material, so it's not hugely surprising there's not a colour match. I imagine on the Toluca shirt the panel is white material (as it will be on the Saints shirt) and the main body is the same pre-dyed red as the sleeves and collar. Having said all that I'd rather it was slightly non-colour matched and striped than a perfect match and plain red. I do have some slight reservations about how the sponsor logo will feel, it's quite a large area of sponsor to have sat on the front of the shirt and it affects a wider overall area than the veho/muvi ads did as they were more linear. I prefer that it's an added transfer rather than printed into the design though. Overall though I think having the same colour panel as sleeves would have worked better - whether it was all red or all white. Then there's the option of having the white stripes wider rather than the red ones. Edited 15 July, 2016 by The9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashnats Posted 15 July, 2016 Share Posted 15 July, 2016 Hmm, suppose so... Toluca then. I don't remember any Mexican bra-talk... no straps. Ours has straps for the bra too, which make it even more bra-like. I'm going to wear some lacy white underwear over my jeans to go with it, instead of my previous idea for shorts - just to make it as obvious as possible. maybe we should have a bra and knickers day on opening match?

The plain red ones with the gold on where you couldn't read the sponsors name (their money down the toilet, cheers) or see the badge? Nothing "bad" about that design? Okay then. And the pin stripe Nottingham Forest 1992 throwback shirts where our genius chairman gave us an away kit we couldn't actually wear for any away matches and we ended up wearing it once?

Nothing "bad" about that design oh no. And, of course, both kits were utter dogsh it. We actually wore the white kit twice, because we nominated it as our home shirt for the FA Cup (FFS) and then got humped by Chelsea. The best bit about the whole situation for me was that we'd been selling off the yellow shirt the previous April to get rid of the Championship stock and then they ended up wearing it for about 10 matches when you couldn't buy it any more. A classic example of Cortese's shouting at people to make it happen in lieu of planning, one might think. And that red adidas shirt wasn't actively bad, though the badge and sponsor weren't particularly well thought out, but it was the least Saints-looking kit I've ever seen. As for the Sheff Weds kit, someone should hang for it. Their badge is just weird and they've been using it for a while now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 18 July, 2016 Author Share Posted 18 July, 2016 Incidentally, bit deal made about 7:30am opening for the shirt sales, the wife drove past the ground (and even stopped to have a look just in case) after 7:30am today and the place was still closed. Presumably it was only the West Quay store open - but that's not what all the tweets etc have said, including one at 6am today. Staffing problems? She didn't mention if there was a queue. I'll go down there today if I get a chance. As a rational consumer I'm going to want it as soon as possible because its usefulness is time limited. I'm intrigued about the circular card-looking Saints logo things on the socks I've seen in photos too... what are they, they're not on the sock itself and just seem to hang there?

I'm an XL in the shirt and a L in the training top this year, the shirt is fitted (as it says inside), and I REALLY don't like the way it sits on my shoulders or around my only mildly fat gut. Think own brand Adidas hiatus kit with maybe half an inch more flexibility. I love the neon/lime green training top though. Will be wearing that a lot more than the shirt. No women's sizes in the away shirt for anyone wondering. May upload some pics of random stuff, and that jacket with the white sleeves does indeed have white sleeves AND it's £90.

Think own brand Adidas hiatus kit with maybe half an inch more flexibility. Glad I went to the store rather than order online as the line at the bottom of the OS stories stating "The new Under Amour kits are a standard fit. For a full size guide, please click here" is inaccurate given the word "fitted" is printed on the shirts themselves. Best fit for me was between 2-3 sizes up on the Adidas Climacool shirts. At least going up in size on this one doesn't bring with it the crazily long length and arms of the own brand effort! Also, noticed a couple of differences between player shirt and replicas with the badge embroidered on the replicas and the solid red panel under the arm missing.
