We can't have nice things, can we?

I think the manufacturers run the standard design choice past the club and then say, but if you want it to be even more innovative we can…

At this point people who know what they are doing will say fuck off, hence the reason we end up with all this bollocks.

Missed an open goal there with the plain back, I don’t get it. That said, I reckon

white looks better than red.
Shame as it’s a nice shirt from the front

The person that chooses the kit is probably the same useless c*nt that signs players.

Even Rupert gave fans a choice from time to time.

Just a thought, but would a plain back be cheaper to manufacture than stripes ?

Obviously doesn’t worry  Brentford, and others.

Why is the football not the one in our badge?

My guess is that it is a "call back" as they say now, to the original shirt design from 76 when the badge featured that particular ball

And just for a moment I was gonna get a new saints top, first time in years , then they ruin it as per with a plain back! Some  people don’t care, they just don’t get tradition and just the fact it looks better with a black number in red and white (in my humble opinion). 
we have this knack of just getting it wrong every year, why is it so difficult and who keeps making it so????!

obviously its not confirmed and am hoping it is stripes at the back, just have to wait and see but if these leaks are true then it just feels like another opportunity missed to sell a huge amount of nice shirts as it looks great from the front , just leaves a bit of a sour taste or that three walls of a room have been painted and the 4th wall just left as it was!

Guys, it’s only the back of a football shirt.

Never ceases to amaze how many fully grown adults get so worked up about the finer detail of a football kit.

Because if they make a really nice shirt with a historically and aesthetically pleasing design then lots of people will buy it creating more revenue for OUR club as without the fans there ceases to be a club. If you design something that is crap or at best a half finished mish mash then people won’t! 
Tradition actually means something to a lot of people. 
Nobody is wetting themselves and there’s nothing wrong with voicing an opinion , from what I have read on here most people are just annoyed as a nice design seems to have been ruined once again, if you like the shirt with a plain back then that’s up to you but don’t criticise those who don’t.

Most fans will have a strong view on the kit their teams trots out in, mostly based on ‘tradition’ and maintaining that.

I’d like to see a more traditional kit, and if it is going to pay homage to the 1976/7 shirt then should do so fully. That said I wouldn’t look to wear it myself, though understand many others  do.

Looks good, get a name and number on that, it passes

This I don’t follow, as to why a grown adult wants to have a number and someone else’s name on the back of it.
 

It’s an age thing I’m sure but I see plenty who I’d put in the ‘old enough to know better camp’ doing it, sometimes older than me.
