For the love of god, don't put it on a white background. Just use the logo, with a thin black outline to make it stand out if needs be. 

Corporate brand guidelines may put paid to that. There'll be dos and don'ts about exactly how the logo can be used. Pages and pages of it.

How it being stuck on an awful square is aesthetically better, I don't know. But it is what it is.

the best thing to is put aggregators like SaintsExtra on Mute.

feeds like them are the social media equivalent of picking through someone's vomit.

Are they doing anything different to Nixon, Crook et al ?

Nixon and Crook are likely second hand regurgitations

the likes of Saints Extra are likely third hand regurgitations.

Blue lettering, 🤔, sight for sore eyes on a Saints shirt. But if they’re paying enough and we go up* the league with it guess will have to live with it 

 

*carefully avoid temptation to say ‘sailing’ or ‘cruising’ up the league 

If it is P&O then blue lettering would be fine if we’re reverting back to our traditional blue shorts at long last. We had blue in our kit long before the “salmon pink” skates.

Don’t see the fascination some fans have of wearing blue shorts with our home kit - you’d have to be in your 80’s to have seen us wearing them .

Other then red and white we’ve no real tradition of out kit as we’ve messed around with the stripes since the 80’s . 

[JonnyOB]

I have done a couple of minor contracts with P&O through one of my businesses and although they did have some frameworks and templates for font/inks/colours etc etc for the branding , they were fairly relaxed once things were proposed to them, if they are on the shirt fronts, I wouldn't expect necessarily the logo is on a white block. For one, if the shirt has white on it already , then a bespoke shape around the logo image and scripting would make the advert easier to see , which is the whole point of shirt advertising in the first place.

For me variation. Brentford/Sunderland etc have black so at least we can be slightly different if we put out another striped shirt plus half of our history we had blue, so don't see why we couldn't bring them back in for a change. 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Pleased if that we’re losing the betting sponsor - somewhat contradictory in a way to what the club is about. P&O would be great given the City heritage etc. I’m not one to get too excited by shirt design, but hopeful that they get it right

[sockeye]

Shouldn't be a need for a big white block. If the P&O blue lettering clashes with the red, they can just stick a white outline around it.

Puma have recreated Port Vale's kit from the 1953/54 season for their 150 year anniversary. It is remaining sponsorless.

Saints have their 140 year anniversary next season. Would be nice if Puma could do similar for us! 

The 1965/66 kit might be a good option. Promotion from the 2nd tier 60 years ago.

 

That looks brilliant!

Great idea.

Players can line the halfway line pre kick off to rival a Haka in this kit. Lyrics:

“ Young man,there’s no need to feel down… etc “

We can really revolutionise the matchday experience to show inclusiveness. 

This followed by taking the knee. We may have been shit on the pitch over the last year but we’ll be out there on our own in woke signalling.

Hope Turkish and co approve.

After watching them this season, there's every reason to feel down. If they're just going to insult us, I'm going to listen to my Village People albums instead. 🙂

Stokes new kit is out ...wavy stripes.

 

This is just what Saints need it will stop the opposition keeping an eye on our players as they stream forward. I can't look at it too long with my varifocals.

No doubt will be Port Vale's best selling ever, hopefully they can produce something equally good for us

In SaintsExtra's case, pretty sure they also pick through saintsweb's "vomit" from time to time 😅😂

Wasn't the design they tried to influence a copy of the Monaco kit ? 

I have since found this article about the attempt to rig our kit choice.

Just seen P&O on front of the Saints Foundation staff tops, perhaps how it will look on the front of the new kits?

Decided to create some concept kits based on some of the 25/26 puma templates that have already been released

The first home shirt template is better than the 125th anniversary kit... and that was gorgeous.

First yellow template is also a beaut too.

We can just dream though

Any of the home kits you’ve created would be fine ( providing not a plain back) for a season. Probably all better than what we’ll end up with.

Not so keen on the aways, although fully understand the sentiment over the first yellow and blue.

I find them useful to just get a view of all the rumours and sources quickly. I don’t think they front as anything different.

As much as I love tuning in to see what some of the dickheads on here have been up to, SaintsExtra is ideal when time doesn’t allow.

Just shows, it's not that tricky to get it right.

So why is it so consistently got wrong?

Theyre just pretending to be something theyre not.

They could easily use the "retweet"/"repost" button to put a story on their timeline, they choose to type it out again.

It is so frustrated that designers with talent and a feeling for Saints can design brilliant kits that the fans would love and sell well. Yet the kit manufacturers employ utter dolts who can't even do collars and create heritage replicas of kits that never existed in the first place.

Not really because not everything they post has come from a social media post. They always state the source so not sure why there is an issue with it and usually the initial source is easy to find.

Their whole point - which is clear - is to aggregate Saints news so fans who follow them don't have to follow Swedish newspapers or every French football journalist.

If you don't want it then don't follow but IMO they do a good job of it.

Thanks for taking the time. Hate how puma put their logo on the shoulders looks tacky, desperate...terrible.

Agree, but so did Hummel to be fair, although it seemed to blend into the kit a bit more with them I felt.

But if Puma manage to get the front and the back of the shirt right I’ll tolerate their logo on the shoulder. Probably above another advertisers patch as well. Times we live in.

One account doing it is fine, but there are 4 or 5 all posting the same stuff. That’s what’s annoying

You may be joking, but you’ve only got to look at the state of some rugby teams now, how they take the field as a multi-billboard.

I’ve lost count of how many Gloucester have plastered on the front and back of shirts and shorts. Think it’s two on the front, and one on each sleeve, at least one in the back of the shirt. 
 

Some of the European football teams seem to have multiple on as well from time to time (taken from YouTube watches,nothing more scientific in the research).

Don't like the gold trim. Three colours should be the maximum for a football kit. And there is nothing for Saints to celebrate with gold at the moment

Very nice, not a fan of collars, but understand that a lot of people like them, so loved that you made both versions.

But... can I ask you to be a little more realistic?

We all know the sponsor is going to look like this:

So please make any future designs the correct way 😉

[Nolan]

I would be very surprised if we went with boring stripes two years on the bounce. 

Especially when it's always said stripes don't sell well for the club.

There wont be a big slab of white.

For the record, that's imo, so no need to shoot me down or request sources or a link (the latter i could do).

[Master Bates]

If this season is to be a homage to 50yrs of 1976 then I'd day this one, and I would buy this one.

I thought the same, but then realised the trim is the same colours as the P&O logo.

This is stunning i'd buy it.

Trouble is the dolts in the design department have no real interest in the history of the club, and affinity with it. They just churn out templates, and try and squeeze a design for the club into that. 

The concept of the sash I recall reading followed Fitzhugh’s conversation with the CEO at the time Andy Oldknow (I’m sure he’ll correct me if incorrect), and the Danish kit which I liked second time round came at Hummels instigation.

I suspect we’d have got more of a bespoke design with Hummel rather than Puma.

As a further thought, is there any chance Admiral own the design preventing anyone else turning it out ?

I like it but…. Dare I suggest that if we were looking to rerun the 1976 home shirt then it might be for the 2026/7 season?

We didn’t wear that until after we’d won the cup for the start of the following  season. (Charity Shield first game I saw it).

Classic👌. That with simple stripes, or even just a red sash would be superb.
