I think the design is okay - with different colours it would be alright, it would get boring quickly though as it’s pretty basic, won’t have taken long to design. That colour combination is dreadful, though.
I wouldn't mind sticking with the same style for the home kit tbh, and a yellow and blue away version
Worryingly, this is red and white stripes. It's been spun that way before with the first Adidas app shirt. Cant stand the apron/bib look that the plain backs on striped shirts produce. I'd rather drop the trad stripes if it meant having a **** weird looking compromised kit. We should keep the current shirt and just do variations on it like Ajax.
Yeah, we're overthinking it a little. We have a nice kit! People like the nice kit! Keep the nice kit for another year. Make just enough changes that you can sell a 'new' version. And that definitely looks like a Cherries kit. Really don't like stripes that just kinda end...there's no border between the stripes and the solid colour shoulders, and that makes my brain twitch.
Let´s just pretend we are Real Madrid, start playing like them and ultimately usurp them in the fullness of time and play in all white. In all seriousness, I liked the kit in the Championship promotion season of 2011/12. I also loved the football of that era. Let´s get back to our strengths. A deep yellow shirt with black shorts and yellow socks would look really good as an away kit. I saw that when SFC played WBA in an FA Cup tie in 1968!!
A variation on the current home strip and an idententical style for the away kit only dark blue with a light blue wide stripe, a la the '84 Air Florida kit.
I think the whole thing with football shirts is one of the easiest "wins" for any owner of a football club. Tap into the "perceived traditions" and the fans will love it. However, the selection of a kit has no bearings on a team's fortunes. What I think was troubling about this season for fans of my generation was that the home kit worn in 2017/18 has massive connections with some of the best football teams Saints have fielded. Whenever I see Nathan Redman run down the wing, it is difficult not to think of Danny Wallace and to weigh up the differences between one of the greatest ever Saints teams and the dross that was served up this season. It is a long time since I have bought a current Saints kit but feel a lot of nostalgia for the Rank Xerox era kick as well as the combination of thick and thin stipes . For me, these kicks resonate with my childhood experiences as a teenaged fan. For this reason, I don't want to see a repetition of the fiasco this season and a "classic" kit tainted by a similar season of disappointment. I have to say that I am less precious about the second kit. I liked the hugely different away strip worn this season and it is unfortunate that the jersey is more memorable than so much of the football served up. I would prefer to see a more traditional red and white striped kit but and innovate variation on the same colours
Haven't bought a kit in years, since they were made in house. Haven't tried the under armour ones but are they fitted like under armour clothes or pretty baggy like normal football shirts?
I haven't bought one since the Sash but bought my nipper the last two. Hopefully we do get the yellow away and ill get that.
I like all Saints kits because the have the Saints badge on them. Except that God awful Pony kit. That can get in the sea.
2017/18 was a pretty bloody awful season, with a brilliant kit. So if that monstrosity is the kit for 2018/19, we should have a brilliant season
Worst kit ever. Arguably the best football Saints have ever played. |We also had a few abominations throughout LeTiss' career.
