Laughably bad. The panel on the back is quite apt as it somehow makes it look even worse.

It’s a shame the shorts and socks are plain blue, as having that pattern run all the way through really would be quite something.

I reckon it’ll be quite popular with kids, if any adult thinks of getting it they need their head seeing to.

It's be an ok shirt for a goalkeeper.

GK or training top fine. 
 

But for me it simply isn’t a football shirt or a shirt to play professional football in

How many shirts on here have shown this is not the case ???

From what I've read, the basic rule is that the name and number need to be easily readable. 

If you have stripes, you either need a plain back or you stick a square on the back. 

The exception to this is if the two colours of your stripes are similar in the colour spectrum, and they have ways of measuring this. I think this is why Bournemouth wouldn't need a plain back, as the contrast between a dark red and black isn't too bad. Blue and black stripes would be the same.

 

Some clubs get round this by having a different kit for the players and supporters, but I suspect this gets quite complicated as a lot of fans want names and numbers on their shirts

I know the point you’re making but seems to me that black on red and white is quite prominent. And white on the away shirt shouldn’t need a plain back.

Sunderland and Sheff Weds are both shown on this thread as having striped backs, but we’ll have to see what they look like on taking to the pitch.

For me it’s quite straightforward, stripes on the shirt front and back. Or abandon stripes and go for the Rank Xerox, Halves and occasionally  the sash.

It's a weird one as different comps will have different rules.  Back when we were in the Europa League there was definitely a UEFA rule with a colour contrast formula.

More recently we're rigidly stuck to plain backs whilst others in the same league with similar stripes haven't always done the same.

Off the back of Parsons comments last night I had a very quick scan of the EFL handbook and couldn't see anything specific, but a google search through up this line from Stoke's kit launch this year:

"Supporters will notice that, in response to strong supporter feedback and to prepare for upcoming EFL regulation changes, merchandise shirts feature fully striped backs whereas players' shirts will comprise a plain panel, enhancing visibility of names and numbers for supporters, officials, and broadcasters on matchdays."

So looks like they're may be something more formal for the EFL coming.

Seems you're right, i think it's hideous Son says it beatiful 😂

I suspect as part of a complete kit with the plain shorts/socks and name/number the back won't look too bad, but as a plain shirt on it's own the back is absolutely honking.

If he believes that then he’s a bigger fucking tool than he’s credited as.Either that or he thinks it’s a clever answer (which isn’t the only one he gave last night by all accounts).

Zero shirts, because there is a clear rule.  If you are a cielab nerd, it comes down to the L difference between the stripe colours.  If it is a delta of 25 or more, you can't overlay the numbers onto the stripes. Basically, if we keep red, the contrasting stripe also needs to be a dark colour.  That's why Bournemouth, inter Milan etc can get away with it, but we cannot.

I don't think I've ever agreed with something on Saintsweb as hard as I agree with this statement.

If we win the league it’ll be everyone’s favourite away kit ever. 
 

Not sure why it needed a plain back though.

If they had made it yellow with some swirly blue stuff going on they may just have gotten away with it…….but this is fkin shambolic and I predict the sales of the third kit will dwarf the sales of this thing.

I’ve canvassed opinion of friends and family and everyone but the Wife thinks it is horrendous. 
I can’t think of a worse kit in my time supporting Saints, I disliked the Under Armour era but nothing beats this for me.

It’s just a terrible idea isn’t it.

Any idea when the Puma contract is up? Aside from the FA cup one last year, and the third this year..the kits have been mostly misses. 

 While it wouldn't necessarily bring as much money in from an initial deal perspective, I'd prefer us to go with the slightly lesser brands that seem to put more time and effort into the kits. The likes of Hummel, Macron, Joma, Kappa. Rather than the copy and paste kits that the big brands seem to do. 

Especially if they're going to charge £65 a pop.

I'm way too old to wear replica shirts...... would clash with my rattle and bobble hat 😉...   so don't really care about what the shirt looks like. But surely it's a mistake not to stick to a predominantly yellow away kit?  Some of the best away support we've had has been whilst shouting "yellows, yellows... " from the Cardiff cup final onwards.

Four year deal starting 24/25 season. So we've got them until the end of next season at least..

That Sunderland one is a retail version for the fans. The actual on-field shirt has the box too, saw this listing of a Xhaka matchworn and can see it there

I’m pretty sure in the late 60’s some Saints players would be wearing shirts with a white patch and number sewn onto the back. Others with just a number.

Used to wonder why. Perhaps that was the easiest way of sharing the shirts if needed in the squad as they were 1-11 and not sized to each individual

That sold out so fast, I was gutted not to be able to get one - I will never understand why they didn't make another run.
