2019/20 Next Season's Kit

Edit. Wrong thread

 

The reason the kit is delayed is because the strands of material holding it together were incorrect.

Edit: Wrong thread.

 

You just won the internet!

 

Thought someone would cotton on to that joke earlier

 

It's a good yarn don't you think?

 

Yep, but i thought the joke was a bit synthetic to be honest

 

Said it on the pre-season thread, but should've probably said it here...

Also, the kit actually looks nice when watching on a broadcast. Just a shame about that awful black block at the top of the shirt itself.

As a kit, it looks good. Always a fan of Saints in hooped socks.

 

*stands up*

 

Either way. It's a stitch up!

 

I thought it would have been all sewn up by now.

 

Found this on Facebook....... Someone from the club said kit delays are manufacturing issues with colour leakage from shirt to the badge.

 

When I was chatting with Martin Semmens in Macau I asked him when the new kit would be available. He said he was going to Baltimore next week (week before last) to try and sort it out, and hopefully it wouldn’t be too long. It seemed rude to ask him to elaborate...

 

I saw earlier that the reason for the delay in the kits is because Under Armour refused to produce them because at the time LD Sports wasn’t a valid company. Not sure whether there’s any truth to this, would have thought they’d have managed to solve the issue by now though.

Edit - hence why UA are selling the kit sponsor-less on their site.

 

Why would Under Armour care whats printed on them? Maybe if they were worried they wouldn't get paid or something.

 

Daily Mail have a story here (if I can work out how to link it!)

Club needs to knock the price down. The shirts are only 'in' for 12 months as it is. Three months late should mean a 25% discount.

 

At least it won't look anything like this ...

Another update: https://www.southamptonfc.com/news/...-football-club-new-kit-update-9th-august-2019

Briefly, the third and GK kits will be available to purchase from tomorrow. The home and away won't be ready in time for the new season, the aim is for 31st August.

The problem is because of 'logo embellishment' which presumably means getting the logo onto the kits. I always said the LD logo was dreadful

 

Looks like Espanyol will be dropping their kit sponsor and replacing it with LD sports. LD sports website has been updated with lots of Espanyol stuff too.
