You either have, or you don't have, taste.

I absolutely dread to see what many of your wardrobes and record collections are like.

Says the bloke who's wardrobe and record collection was probably last updated 1974.

My wardrobe is unremarkable. I do still have half a dozen waistcoats from the 70-80's hanging up in there, waiting for waistcoat rebirth, and of course there's the motorcycle gear. Apart from that, any jeans I own tend to be Wranglers 'cause Levis don't fit [there is a double meaning there], but I have pairs of trousers, trekkers pants, etc... tops, shirts, the usual, and the sailing gear, which I must take a look at to see if it's up to the mark for Saturday. I also have a few suits, one with the obligatory waistcoat and a black detective's overcoat with epaulettes, belt and all. I've even got the trilby.

Music wise I don't know where to start. I love a smattering of all, classical, jazz, folk, pop, etc.. though most of my vinyl [yes, it is predominantly that] does tend to be from 60's to present day blues rock. I'm in a bedroom at present and there are some albums overhead within touching distance. I've just taken three albums out at random and [thank goodness] I've taken one track from my chosen one of the three. It's Jimi Hendrix from Axis: Bold as Love - Little Wing. It's kind of appropriate too because this was written and performed on this album just a few months after I started supporting Saints. It really doesn't get better than this. Listen to the virtuosity [he plays lead and rhythm at the same time], the gut-bucket timing, and the sheer cool sounds he makes, with virtually no aids. The phased sounds are very 60's. People say it's too short. I always think it gives one an excuse to play it again.

I really don't fit St George's description - honest..! :)
 
Bit of an old Mod myself so I kind of know what CBK means. That said, style is personal; a combination of what suits and what you want or are able to spend.
 
So do we hate stripes now? I still really want that '84-esque one. And all the players will have to grow their hair like Keegan's was so that it looks just right.

I don't hate stripes, I just wouldn't be fussed if we didn't go back to them.
 
I think those Bilbao and Estudiantes kits look more like Sunderland than us.

I've spoken about it several times before, and that's the very kit I want to see back for a couple of seasons. The perms don't have to be a necessity, but it would be fun..!

I like stripes. However, I have never thought it should be the be all and end all of a Saints kit. There are some simply awful striped kits around and Saints don't automatically have to go in that direction. Besides, the Championship aap3 striped kit was one of the best ever, so almost any striped kit is going to look worse than that. Let a few seasons pass. Or we could really be traditional and have squares or halves.

It's not true "stripes". I do love that kit though. My son wears my one from 1982-4 ish
