I don’t hate blue away kits, but what I can’t stand is this monotone use of the badge. It looks naff with the detail scrubbed out.

When done well, it can work...

Confirmed, the actual shirt is on FootyHeadlines today

[Mozz]

If footy headlines are reporting it I have no doubt it’s the actual the shirt, but I’m 99% the images are the same as from the other leak, just cut out from the previous background.

Not belittling your efforts by any means, but if you can come up with these designs (even those copying earlier kits), why can’t the manufacturers, or the club adopt something better than the shit they’ve agreed ?

Agree. There's no reason not to use the full-colour logo on any kit, unless you're some smart-arse tone-deaf twat that thinks a monochrome logo is somehow cool or trendy. Does any other club engage in such self-indulgent stupidity?

Whilst that away kit design is a bit of harmless fun, the illegible monochromatic logo and shit-fest back-panel detract from what could be a decent quirky kit.

Aaaaand.... Relax....

All a matter of opinion but for me the mono colour crest is the least of my concerns. The design and the ridiculous back panel render discussion about the crest pointless.

the design is more important, after who will be wearing it of course. Get the team right and I don’t suppose we’ll care too much if the change kit is them playing in their underpants. 

(In answer to Trousers question I’m pretty sure others have done this with the badge it, but can’t recall who or when).

Chelsea? Think they do it pretty often. I think a lot of the clubs, certainly the top English clubs (Arsenal, City, Liverpool, United), have been using mono crests in recent years

Fucking hideous. Sees that awful wave effort from the Ralph/Jones/Selles relegation season and raises it. Third kit wants to be decent or it’s a no from me this year, won’t be buying the above or the 1 star boring home shirt.

That would have sold tens of thousands. Imagine the yellow version as the third kit. Genuinely baffled how the club fuck it up so much year after year.

The simple solution is to not buy it. But I remember similar disgust at the pink shirt before everyone decided they liked it after all and it still sold out. FWIW I loved last years kits, this season home is ok and that away is truly disgusting! (Also for full colour badge and stripes on the back)

This is where FAB should come into play and rattle a few at the club, if they have anything about them or serve any purpose.

But they probably won’t. Imagine they’re too inclined to just nod along to whatever they’re told, and be grateful the club listen to them on whether the concourse should stock Quavers and Wagon Wheels.

There were a few on display at the SF, looked really good. Put a lot of modern efforts to shame.

Even Rupert Lowe invited supporters input in the kit selection. Possibly a lot easier when it’s produced in house, but I doubt we’d end up with the crap we’re served up with if fans views are canvassed.

For me a feature on a striped shirt is ‘stripes on the back?’. If that’s not available then I’d sadly be inclined to scrap the stripes altogether.

Didn’t some bloke on here design our kits once?

Not sure, I recall Gecko did some badge designs. He might have been involved in the shirts at one point.

I feel seen. 🤣

And somewhat chastened, but I do still like the idea a colour block kit.

The red block on the back. Why o why do Saints do it? It looked absolutely shit at the back.

Pretty sure he designed the kits for the 06/07 season.

Ditto! Every season for the last 10 years or so  we get a plain back , every year that happens I don’t get a shirt, just my lil protest. I use my remake of the old rank xerox one that was reinvented. Now that’s the only kit that we should alternate from proper stripes  in my opinion, just to freshen things up now and then. Away kits , for me yellow and blue it’s just a colour that obviously has history for us but more importantly those colours could mean we just need two kits each season, design can be a bit inventive for that aslong as it’s something people wd want to buy.Not against a two year cycle either maybe change home and away alternatively aswell so fans aren’t having to fork too much each season.

Far too much I agree with, and common sense expressed here to register with those making decisions.

If we can’t have a full striped kit then I’d like the Rank Xerox to become the standard default kit. With the sash reserved for anniversaries!

Away kit - for me should be amber and black, but accept yellow and blue seems indelibly set for many. Don’t mind if that is varied with navy/yellow (as 2010/11) or stripes as last season. 
 

Third kit - I like the red and black, or sky/navy (again, Rank Xerox era)but should give some licence for the club to bugger about and vary it. Within reason. So no Japanese wallpaper designs or psychedelic ‘far out,man’ crap (2022/3 and this year). 

Two year cycle, good idea, but commercially the club and manufacturers probably wouldn’t suppory that.

When have we ever worn amber and black? I'm late 40s so to me this colour scheme means nothing in the context of SFC.
