JCBSaint Posted Tuesday at 19:29 Posted Tuesday at 19:29 I bet and hope the shirt actually looks really nice when launched (from the front), if the so called rumours are true it’s just the back that lets it down if all white, if it’s anything like the knock off ones , they look awful quality then that’s a shame, fingers crossed I can cope with it.

goodymatt Posted 22 hours ago Posted 22 hours ago Happy new kit day, I wonder what it will look like…

Don't flame me if I'm wrong but he told me that it will be a close replica of the 1978 home kit. He also told me that P&O Cruises will be the new main sponsor, but didn't appear to realise that the news was made public earlier in the day. Still, I guess that proves that he is credible so let's watch this space... 1

I think maybe it’s a little crass, most probably disagree. Isn’t it wonderful to live in and of a world in which we are free to both express our views and practice an element of emotional autonomy.

Hatch Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago I like it , I think it means we will win the league now with this kit 1
Sunglasses Ron Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago £65! Wasn't going to buy it anyway but come on!

revolution saint Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago I still quite like it although the two different reds and not having stripes on the back let it down a bit. 1

RedArmy Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago Drove past St Mary’s this morning and the boards above the megastore were still the ones with last seasons kit. Seems a bit strange that they weren’t stripped before both our contract with rollbit ended (free advertisement) and our new kits being available to buy.
Saint86 Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago (edited) Not a fan on first viewing... P&O logo, the weird red shoulder triangles and stipes down the arms, and the two shades of red - all combine to make it pretty garish tbh. Stripes also the wrong width compared to the original. Maybe it will look a lot better as a full kit or I'll just generally warm to it. Either way, it's £65 so no loss really 😂 Edited 19 hours ago by Saint86
DT Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago Shocked to say I quite like it. Will look bad on fat fans though, surely?
ant Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago Bit my tongue to make sure the leaks were accurate, but it's an absolute dog. Not a particularly accurate take on the original kit, nor a decent modern reimagining. And what the hell are the two different reds all about?! The P&O sponsor has been done poorly; that black stroke around it is too thick - and it's unfortunately just not an aesthetically pleasing logo for the centre of a kit. Starling has tended to look much better on the women's kits, but of course they've given that the 'block of white' treatment. Can see it being a particularly unflattering shirt on overweight fantasist blokes, to boot. 2
ant Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago Was also going to 'sad face' comment about Stephens being so heavily included in the promo shots, but then JWP was for the 23-24 kit launch, so... 🤞
trousers Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago (edited) 37 minutes ago, CSA96 said: Positives: good to see such an iconic Saints kit get a reboot and good that the club badge is more in proportion than the one on the Chinese effort. Negatives: the black border around the logo is too thick, which makes it look a bit amateurish; having two different reds is totally bizarre: why would it even occur to someone that was an idea worthy of consideration, let alone implementation? And the triangles on the shoulder make the design as a whole look a tad higgledy-piggledy rather than slick. But... "It's only a kit" so doesn't really matter.... Edited 19 hours ago by trousers 1

Kenilworthy59 Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago It is rather amusing that they show it in front of a team photo from 1976 showing how the design was executed far better then
Midfield_General Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago (edited) 34 minutes ago, skintsaint said: So it was two different reds. Mad that anyone responsible for signing off the design could see that and think it was alright. The overall concept is great and with a tiny bit of thought it could have been a classic, but the whole design and execution of the sleeves is just so shit. I can't believe how hard they make it look to design a football kit every season. It's such a basic thing to be able to get right, half the people on here can do it perfectly well. Ah well. If we win in it no-one will care. But so near and yet so far. Edited 19 hours ago by Midfield_General

Polaroid Saint Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago I loves it. Ever the contrarian, I quite like the white back too. I liked the white slash kit and this has an air of that about it. 1
