It's strange that Under Armour, a North American company catering largely to North Americans while sponsoring an English club, does not sell the kit under license anywhere in North America. You'd think that it would make sense for both parties...UA wouldn't have to have a huge inventory, they'd just have to ship from their US facilities, and it'd both benefit them and the #brand they shelled out to market. But to get a shirt, I'd have to either buy it from the team store or some dodgy reseller.
That blue and black away shirt is going to be the first top I've bought myself since the 2003 Cup final. £50 quid for a scrap of tatty polyester it may be, but that kit is class. Well done Saints.
No we don't, but next season we won't be wearing stripes. I don't think the new shirt, which I saw up close and personal this morning, will clash with blue/black and white stripes. The ref might think otherwise. But then refs often see things differently to the fans.
Its funny, all Saints fans (so the ones who actually count) love it, everyone I've shown it to who isn't a Saints fan hates it. I'm undecided personally, I prefer the away out of the 2 so may get that.
Re: the home kit. The white is just an inch or two too wide, otherwise, cracking bit of toast, Gromit.
I guess non-Saints fans have no 'sentimental' attatchment to the home kit, as they probably don't remember the 1980s one as fondly.... I imagine Man Utd fans would have the same opinion on collared shirts, after the 1999 one
I really like the away strip as well. Am I right in saying that it is the same colours as the 80's away one?
Great job Saints and Under Armour, so refreshing creating a design, that's not the boring Adidas, Puma, Umbro etc template. Bravo!
Has anyone realised what the away kit would look like if it was put in negative? please log in to view this image
Thanks, I'll do likewise. Calculated price from the website, with shipping, is about $128 CAD. You lot mind tanking the pound for a few weeks?
Yeah I seem to remember Steve Moran in the 80s wearing a nice silky striped blue kit EDIT: Just found it - it was a nice silky blue kit, but exactly like the red, but in blue: please log in to view this image please log in to view this image
