Mr X Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~1743204,00.html I'm undecided at the moment quite like the Midnight blue and yellow color scheme but something about how the patch of yellow on the top of the chest looks just wrong, like its been plonked there with little thought behind it... thoughts?
Smirking_Saint Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 Not too bad, probably couldn't have picked a better model then Wotton, seeing as he usually stands just short of the half way line like a manaquin.
The Kraken Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 Terrible design. Umbro really should just pack it in and hand over the reigns fully to Nike.
Mr X Posted 6 August, 2009 Author Posted 6 August, 2009 just realised the top yellow bit is a weird shape too, looks a bit like they're wearing a sports bra!
ralph_wiggum Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 Its better than the grey... I mean flint kit!
Miltonaggro Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 Looks like a poor man's Wimbledon kit from the late eighties. Which takes some doing...
Saint Martini Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 Meh, don't think its ugly but its not nice either.
Ponty Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 Oh thank God. I didn't realise we got to vote on it! No, btw. Looks bad - in the pics at least.
RedAndWhite91 Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 After seeing it up close in the megastore I don't mind it.
The9 Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 I'll be buying it when I get the time and/or spare cash, though as I now have 5 flint shirts, 2 home shirts and a pair of fluorescent pink Shamrock Rovers Umbro away socks from last season that may not be much of a recommendation. :smt107 I think it would look better in yellow with blue, but meh, there are some abominations from Umbro this season (Sunderland away and all of their new goalkeepers' shirts for a start) and we've missed the worst styles.
surrey1saint Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 My son and I have just got ours...and they are really nice,much better than the photos.

Arizona Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 Think it looks carp if I'm honnest. I think with the same home kit, we've got the worst combination of kits in living memory. Who the fook is drawing these things and thinking, "yeah, that looks good." The only stuff I like the look of from our new range is the training jumpers, but I've already got the grey one from last year and really have no need for another. https://ssl.saintsfc.co.uk/dept.asp?subgroup=9600&hotlinkid=200&sessionid=226917581&shopperid=
BlakeySFC Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 Got mine through the post yesterday, really good quality well made shirt with some nice touches like the old school Saints logo from yester-year on the collar. I personally am bored with the usual colour away kits we've gone for, i know we won the FA Cup in yellow and blue but i personally have got really bored with that particular colour scheme (mainly yellow with bits of blue) and are glad we have a quality kit manufacturer like Umbro on board that don't mind shaking things up a bit and ruffling a few feathers...the flint away shirt last year is one of the best ever away shirts Saints have ever had IMHO, and the new 09/10 away shirt follows in the same vein. A quality well made kit by a proper kit manufacturer...i challenge anyone to put on the 07/08 yellow/white away shirts made by (S) and then put on the 08/09 home/away shirt or 09/10 away shirt made by Umbro and tell me that the (S) is better quality. The last years of the (S) regime were a joke, absolutely disgusting shirts made by appalling kit designers. Umbro are here until 2013 so you better get used to there well made kits, we could be a HELL of a lot worse off trust me(Joma anyone?)

Mr X Posted 6 August, 2009 Author Posted 6 August, 2009 I think something like this a much more simple classy design would have been better, you could wear it out with jeans too
Saint_clark Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 Horrible tacky, typical lower league kit. Many kit designers should be sacked. You clearly haven't looked at the majority of other lower league teams new kits then.
red&white56 Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 If we win lots of away games wearing this kit then I will love it and will even buy one - otherwise I'm not a big fan !
Arizona Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 I think something like this a much more simple classy design would have been better, you could wear it out with jeans too Is it just me or does Wotton look like a human trafficer called Sergei?
IamLeGod Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 Horrible tacky, typical lower league kit. Many kit designers should be sacked. If I'm not mistaken, Birmingham's home kit is the same design only light blue and white? So I think the League 1 thing is of little relevance. That said, I'm not a fan
Stoozer Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 Nay. Wrong shade of blue and not enough yellow for my liking.
MOSaint. Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 Not for me either the blue is too dark, and it might look better with blue socks
St.Jeweller Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 First impressions? Reminds me of this: Apart from the fact the shorts these days are about three times the length
barney Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 Think im in the minority but just bought 1 for my nipper and i think it looks smart. Definite wimbledon links aside,thumbs up from me.
Snowballs2 Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 Its the results that matter not the kit guys, they can play in pink as fars as I am concerned if the win the games
surrey1saint Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 Think im in the minority but just bought 1 for my nipper and i think it looks smart. Definite wimbledon links aside,thumbs up from me. I'm with you they look very good on me and my son.
St Marco Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 Bought mine today and am loving it. Much better then previous away kits we have had, actually looks smart ish.
St Marco Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 Also another thing is it me or does the shirt actually not looklike the shirt Wotten and James are wearing? I did not see the one Wotten has on in there at all, it is like it has been computer generated or something? The one James is wearing misses out the crest from 1885 with the new crest over it (at least i can't see it!).
dune Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 The cheapest looking, most tacky design i've ever seen. A truely horrible strip.
eurosaint Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 Relax, it could have been much worse.... He looks like a stick of (northern) rock
Mr X Posted 6 August, 2009 Author Posted 6 August, 2009 Also another thing is it me or does the shirt actually not looklike the shirt Wotten and James are wearing?

The one James is wearing misses out the crest from 1885 with the new crest over it (at least i can't see it!). Not sure if ya talkin about the example picture on here that I photoshoped or the one on the OS?
St Marco Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 Not sure if ya talkin about the example picture on here that I photoshoped or the one on the OS? I mean the one Wotten is wearing in the photo a few posts above, the long sleave shirt. I did not see a shirt looking like that in the store. And James' one looks way too light as you can see the stripes clearly running down it where as on the one i have it is much darker and have to be up very close to see the stripes. If you look at the pics on the Saints photos vs Ajax you can see what i mean http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~1726966,00.html Very dark.
krissyboy31 Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 looks like vomit That's usually a beige or ecru type colour with flecks of green, yellow and orange in it, IIRC.
saintwarwick Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 Its better than the grey... I mean flint kit! I disagree, this latest one is horrible compared to the grey, sorry flint one. That said I shall still buy it.
saint_stevo Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 That's usually a beige or ecru type colour with flecks of green, yellow and orange in it, IIRC. mine isn't
ponto1963 Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 Not the best I've seen, Must admit my favourite away was the Red and Black we had a couple of years back.
Minsk Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 I mean the one Wotten is wearing in the photo a few posts above, the long sleave shirt. I did not see a shirt looking like that in the store. And James' one looks way too light as you can see the stripes clearly running down it where as on the one i have it is much darker and have to be up very close to see the stripes. If you look at the pics on the Saints photos vs Ajax you can see what i mean http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~1726966,00.html Very dark. The one above (Wotton long sleeved) is photo shopped. I didn't like the kit when I first saw it, and still don't on the OS pics advertising it, but I thought it looked quite good on the pics from the Ajax game. Maybe I am getting used to it? Anyway, Mrs Minsk likes it so I might ask Santa to bring it to me for Xmas.
Iowsaintsfan Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 Dont like it much i have to admit though will prob end up with 1, i wish we could go back to that great black and red one of a few seasons ago!
