    Fits the colour scheme but how will it stand out on a red and white stripe background, without a white square.
    That's assuming we will still be in stripes.

    One might say our marketing department is starting to fly.

    It would fit on this shirt very nicely:

    Or adjusted slightly to align with the crest. Better, or not so good.? :

    Prefer the first one. The crest has to be centred.

    Didn't they take the pitch up a few days ago? I suppose they've had more important things to be doing in the meantime....

    Maybe we're signing a new Pacey striker? (Spot Ronald's Jamaican cousin checking him out)

    When I first did them I preferred the second one. But I'm siding with you two now. The first one has grown on me. Shame they won't use any of them. ;)

    Could do a simple black outline separating the logo from the stripes. I do like variants on the 80s-era Air Florida kits, though.

    My school team used to play in what I think was a 1990 Saints third kit. Possibly this one:
    https://www.vintagefootballshirts.c...ges/1989-91-southampton-away-shirt-5693-1.jpg

    This was in 2008. After 8 million washes the foamy stuff inside the Draper logo had into a kind of heavy sausage across the middle (but still looked about right). And the left nipple patch wasn't great either. But it kind of held together and I bet it's the only complete numbered set in existence (if it still is).

    We weren't very good.
