LuckyNumber7 Posted 31 May, 2017 Share Posted 31 May, 2017 Don't like that at all, although still better than the all red Cortese gave us. Saints without stripes just doesn't look right. Probably fake anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miltonaggro Posted 31 May, 2017 Share Posted 31 May, 2017 Not sure if these have been posted on here yet Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Thanks for breaking the good news Wimborne! Both look superb, home provides a contemporary twist on the Patrick classic, and the black and turquoise / pacific blue (?) away number is also miles better than this year's awful effort.

The9 Posted 31 May, 2017 Author Share Posted 31 May, 2017 (edited) Eek! No away sock leak yet. Black would at least give it half a chance. I'm going to say "teal", but "Solent Green" might also work! Edited 31 May, 2017 by The9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton Saint Posted 31 May, 2017 Share Posted 31 May, 2017 My two-cents-worth: 1) I prefer the traditional red-and-white stripes. Always. 2) This change of kit every year is just an excuse to extract even more large sums of money (replica shirts) from the compliant fans. It's a strange custom, if you ask me!

Spoonman Posted 31 May, 2017 Share Posted 31 May, 2017 The original was my first Saints shirt as a nipper. Design classic all the way, the lads are going to look the mutts strutting around in this next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted 31 May, 2017 Share Posted 31 May, 2017 I wonder when they will become official. Historically they tend to go on sale around the first weekend of July. I only remember that because it usually coincides with the British Grand Prix and you do see the occasional F1 fan sporting our new shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted 31 May, 2017 Share Posted 31 May, 2017 (edited) Home kit is an improvement on last seasons, but then again how could it possibly have been worse? I don't understand why the thin stripes around the sleave cuffs, which hark back to the 80s kit nicely are not replicated around the collar and perhaps even between the colour panels. There doesn't seem to be any continuity of design. The fussy collar doesn't seem in keeping with the simplistic sleeve cuffs for example. One of the easiest kits to get right and UA still somehow manage to do a **** design job. The away shirt is just, well, pretty **** really. Why not replicate the home shirt, but in different colours? The two tone blue shirt of the 80s was great. Perhaps that is too boring and won't get the sales they want, but why move away from thin stripes for the home and then bring them back in strange colours for the away? No rhyme or reason. It just seems like another design bodge job with a lack of joined up thinking, although without knowing the full brief perhaps I am being too harsh on the work experience guy that gets asked to do the Saint kit each year. Having said all that, I reiterate that it matters not what they look like as I never buy one of these overpriced sweat sacks and don't understand why grown men do.

BlakeySFC Posted 31 May, 2017 Share Posted 31 May, 2017 I honestly don't know why it has taken this long for them to do a Rank Xerox remake, as long as I've been on this forum we've been asking for it every year and only now in 2017 to they oblige.

If they did that with the away shirt, I can guarantee some people would be complaining that it was the same design for both kits and calling it lazy and lacking creativity.

Personally I'm not looking for terribly creative, simple solid design works better for me. As you say, it's all about opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 1 June, 2017 Share Posted 1 June, 2017 My only complaint is the thin black stripes between the Red and White sections. A single black stripe or nothing would have been far better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lloydie Posted 1 June, 2017 Share Posted 1 June, 2017 2) This change of kit every year is just an excuse to extract even more large sums of money (replica shirts) from the compliant fans. It's a strange custom, if you ask me! I remember in my teens (early 00's) that shirts used to last two seasons. Them was the days... then if memory serves, Villa did a one year kit cycle with Nike which I thought was odd and then everyone else followed suit whilst we were in the Championship.

Patrick Bateman Posted 1 June, 2017 Share Posted 1 June, 2017 I'm sure I've said, but that kit is incredible - it'll sell by the bucketload and it'll be the only shirt I've ever bought apart from the sash shirt. Outstanding effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelman Posted 1 June, 2017 Share Posted 1 June, 2017 Out of interest, have the regs changed to have a solid(ish) panel at the back? I know UEFA had it in for their competitions, so wondering whether PL is now doing it? I understand why, as our shirts last year were a nightmare to read if you didn't know who it was - I heard a few commentators mentioning it.
