Spades Posted 15 May, 2009 Share Posted 15 May, 2009 as flybe are staying put, i would imagine we will continue with the plan to continue our home kit for next season However our away kit is due to change this summer. Does anyone have any snippet of what colour or design it may be? Some teams display their new kits for the next season on their last games of the season, i thought perhaps we may do this agianst Forest as we are now Umbro and not the 'S' logo. IMO it has to be back to yellow. Iv always liked the idea of a yellow and blue reverse of the home kit, but this has never happened, probably for a reason. But i definately think we need to get past experimenting with new colours and stick to the yellow away kit... if wedecide not to though, i always really liked the black shirt from the play-off season.

Saints foreva Posted 15 May, 2009 Share Posted 15 May, 2009 Shame tbh, that grey kit is one of the best away shirts we have had. I would like to go back to yellow but all we ever sing when we're away is 'yellows, yellows'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 15 May, 2009 Share Posted 15 May, 2009 (edited) No clue, on account of the fact that anyone involved with the decision is probably on their bike by now, and we don't have any money to pay for kit up front, or necessarily a club to kit out. We will, if we exist, be getting a new away kit if the original Umbro agreement stands. Though most of the new Umbro kits for next season are frankly boring, very plain in line with England's new effort. Sweden have a nice new kit in yellow and blue though. I'll stick some pics of new Umbro styles up soon. New West Ham away (leaked) : Blackburn away : Sunderland : From which you can identify the short and socks styles, anyway. Quite like this though, even if it is a 2008/9 template: Interesting (almost) that all these shirts have the same Umbro logo as Saints' current kits, not the new, rounder-edged Umbro logo that the new England kit has.

Give it to Ron Posted 15 May, 2009 Share Posted 15 May, 2009 I would like to keep the grey kit but realise that IF we get new owners they will get loads of revenue from a new kit that will help pay staff, wages, loans taken out to secure our future.

We are meant to be replacing the grey kit anyway - in fact as fans we got lucky that the club decided to keep the home kit for two seasons, because that was meant to be changing every year as well. Though as they ran out of hooped socks months ago and all the teams except the first team have been wearing plain red socks with a white band since about February it'll be interesting to see if we have any socks to start the season with (if we get that far) ! I actually think Saints should launch the red shorts and socks they've been using with the flint kit for most of the season, you've never been able to buy them in the Megastore and we should probably get an away kit that goes with the red/white trim on those. For those thinking I'm being a bit precious about us having kit, Luton started the season 08/09 wearing 1988-replica adidas retro shirts that had been worn in a pre-season fundraising Charity match because after Admin, relegation, takeover, etc they didn't have any kit come the start of the season last August. http://www.lutontown.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10372~1308673,00.html http://www.lutontown.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10372~1372290,00.html Edited 15 May, 2009 by The9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spades Posted 15 May, 2009 Author Share Posted 15 May, 2009 I quite like that Blackburn away kit, make it all yellow with the trim being just blue instead of red and blue and think that could look quite good. On the other hand, whilst the sunderland kit looks ok, that badge thing they have going is discusting... please dont follow that saints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 15 May, 2009 Share Posted 15 May, 2009 Shame there's been a "cease and desist" on the new Umbro Man City kits, a couple of those were leaked and the white one with a black/red diagonal looked quite plain but pretty nice, something like that in yellow and blue/white would be interesting.

Sheff Saint Posted 15 May, 2009 Share Posted 15 May, 2009 The grey kit looked nice as a leisure shirt. It was horrible horrible horrible as an away kit. I hated it.

lee_saint Posted 15 May, 2009 Share Posted 15 May, 2009 It has to be yellow, I agree, but it will interesting to see when it does get released and whether it's been designed at all.

The9 Posted 15 May, 2009 Share Posted 15 May, 2009 I seem to recall a forum member who was once involved in the Saints kit process telling me that whilst yellow kits are the most popular, they also don't sell very well - presumably this is because pretty much anyone who is a Saints fan has at least one yellow kit already, and not many people are as completely obsessive about this kind of thing as I am. FWIW I hate the pointless woven pattern on the back of the "flint" kit, and I don't like the colour, though the style is quite nice, but I have grown to like it in the last... ooh, 8 days or so... Lee's point about the kit purchasing and numbers is borne out by our Forum match, home team wearing the 2006-8 kit with the broad black stripe on the sleeve and BLUE names and numbers from the last yellow kit, away team in current half price BOGOF flint kit with white numbers not the usual red ones. It was like a merchandising dumping ground ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Saint Posted 15 May, 2009 Share Posted 15 May, 2009 have never liked yellow as a kit colour on general...just always looks a bit flaky...the black one was sound and can easily swap red/black shorts/socks combos for away fixtures or colour clashes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krissyboy31 Posted 15 May, 2009 Share Posted 15 May, 2009 I would like a kit to commemorate our 125th anniversary (if we get that far), that ties in with our origins. Old Gold/Amber and Black halves or quarters (similar to the red and white one we had for the last Dell game), in the colours of the old Hampshire Regiment. Could be based on the Blackburn template.

rallyboy Posted 15 May, 2009 Share Posted 15 May, 2009 There is the club on the brink and we are mulling over whether we should go for grey or yellow next season.

dubai_phil Posted 16 May, 2009 Share Posted 16 May, 2009 Here's a nasty idea... Nobody knows who is behind the bids at the club due to NDA's So phone up Umbro on Monday, say you are part of the background team working on the takeover and trying to get a feel for what new away kit the club could have so you can build it into your cash flow plans and ask them to send a salesman down to you with samples pdq.. Then pick a few favourites post them up here and bingo Oops sorry that was an evil thought... they may not be very happy when they find out forget I ever mentioned it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
