goodymatt Posted July 17 Posted July 17 (edited) Ignoring my issues with non striped backs, both our new kits are lovely. Also liking the leaked 3rd black kit. Overall a great set of kits for hopefully a season to remember! Edited July 17 by goodymatt 2 1
Saint Fan CaM Posted July 17 Posted July 17 Gotta say - 2nd kit looks great. And modelled by Fernandes so he must be staying right? 🤞🙏🏼 2

With black they may as well have just gone striped back like the original. At least the black trim on collar, sleeves and pin stripes makes black not a random colour. Black numbers on the original kit too. 100% agree looks better with full stripes on the back though.
Monk Posted July 17 Posted July 17 I'm a big fucking fan of that. Proper Le Tiss and Ostenstad vibes. 2
hypochondriac Posted July 17 Posted July 17 I have to say I really am a fan of the kits this year. Much better than the generic slop we usually ship out. Nothing perfect but then it never is.

CheshireSaint Posted July 17 Posted July 17 I would give this years kits (third to follow), a 7/10. Pretty good. Perhaps a poll by someone who knows their @rse from their elbow, might be an idea.

Saint86 Posted July 17 Posted July 17 (edited) Absolute bloody shambles from the club I'm afraid... They've had all this time to release the kit, they get a yellow controller for Fernandes (good move)... And then they don't also go and get a blue controller for the 2nd one. Schoolboy stuff, amateur hour 🤦🤣. Nice kit otherwise 😍 Edited July 17 by Saint86 4 1
The Kraken Posted July 17 Posted July 17 Fairly sure the controller on the left is for a PlayStation and the controller on the right is for a Nintendo. 1 2

Those are both PlayStation ones? Shit job cropping the wires as well. All this time to announce a kit leak ages ago and this is the slop we get from the marketing team. Heads should roll IMHO...

Draino76 Posted July 17 Posted July 17 That kit is revolting. I was gonna go to many away games this year, but I'll only go when we're not wearing that kit. 1 3

Mr Brightside Posted July 17 Posted July 17 Think they’ve nailed the kits this year, expect the only problem will be for my lads to decide which one they want. Though I guess all 3 are an option via DHGate. Anyone know if the hooky ones are true to size?
beatlesaint Posted July 17 Posted July 17 4 minutes ago, hypochondriac said: The fakes are pretty good I reckon! Did you get the same size you’d normally get from the Saints store or do they need bigger/smaller size selected?

CSA96 Posted July 17 Posted July 17 (edited) 24 minutes ago, hypochondriac said: The fakes are pretty good I reckon! Not the worst effort but not the best either, I'd say A few things I noticed: the shoulders and stripes are different shades, the collar and the stripes are different shades too, the red is running through the back of the sponsor print and making it look pink and the bottom of the shirt is a different design to the official one. Looks like a flat, straight line hem on that one. Not sure if it's just because of the way I'm looking at the photo but the club crest and the P&O print both look like they've been put on wonky too?

Not sure it's wonky but the other stuff is probably true.

I did wonder if it was just my eyes/it being laid down that made me think the club crest was off to be fair. Although, it does look like the P&O logo has not been well done, it's over to one side of the white more than the other, then the second 'spikes' or whatever they are, one touches the red and the other covers the red. But I'm nit picking to say that. Considering the price difference I can see why it's easy enough to make peace with the details if you don't really care to ever look that closely Edited July 17 by CSA96

I'll probably end up buying the away kit when it's discounted later in the year. Like you say it does the job I'm just surprised Chinese stores bother to stock them.

Must be to serve all of the Chinese demand generated from Cortese's genius move to put us in all red after getting into the PL 1
S-Clarke Posted July 17 Posted July 17 I really like the kits this year, the away one is my fav - the yellow and blue always brings back good memories. 1
pimpin4rizeal Posted July 17 Posted July 17 Second kit is a bit of a vile colour combination for stripes . Didn’t like the original much and this looks more shiny and plasticky and the collar is worse 1

pimpin4rizeal Posted July 17 Posted July 17 Is there no long sleeved variant with the home this year ? I always prefer the sleeves myself

Stripey McStripe Shirt Posted July 17 Posted July 17 Agreed. Vividly remember defeating Psycho Mantis on Metal Gear Solid with a coloured dual shock controller. Life was better back then. 2

It arrived without the sponsorship though which actually I don't mind. The sizes are always right for me. Same as the official shirt. Nowadays chinese fakes dont seem to come up small like they used to. I think I'll wait until the black 3rd kit gets announced and then get that on Dhgate
Willo of Whiteley Posted July 18 Posted July 18 The home kit has grown on me in recent days, but not massively. You’d have to put these sets alongside the ones of the 22-23 season - and they were poor.
SaintsLoyal Posted July 18 Posted July 18 If Huddesfield and stoke can have full front and back striped kits, why dont we ? 1
Stripey McStripe Shirt Posted July 18 Posted July 18 I wish we were more like Huddersfield and Stoke. 3
