The9 Posted 5 February, 2010 Share Posted 5 February, 2010 (edited) but the 3 stripes might just breach trade mark regulations. They're pretty snotty about anything with 3 stripes down at Ad.... They don't appear to have complained about numerous previous striped designs with three white and/or red stripes on the main body part ? But I know what you mean... FWIW I like the plain sash kit, or a nice straightforward equal striped kit, preferably "Tailored By" Umbro. Either way I want to see a 125 anniversary badge in the style of the FA Cup Winners logo from 1976/7 - with the full black circle, the black/yellow curved part of which remains as the "Southampton FC" at the bottom of the current badge.

Dr Who? Posted 5 February, 2010 Share Posted 5 February, 2010 Love the single sash, and like the idea of going back the the first badge we had, and see if it sticks, if not re-design a new one. Even though the badge was designed in the year I was born, I would be happy to see it go! Looks so dated now and we are moving into the new age of the great rish Saints!!

Andy_Porter Posted 5 February, 2010 Share Posted 5 February, 2010 A sash would be immense, hopefully Umbro do our kits in their tailored range like City and England. So bored of stripes, a sash would be fairly unique imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saints foreva Posted 5 February, 2010 Share Posted 5 February, 2010 From 1885 to 1974 saints did NOT have white socks. From 1885 to 1938 Saints did NOT have black shorts. From 1885 to 1896 and 1980 to 1989 Saints did NOT have red and white stripes. From 1885 to 1974 Saints did NOT have this badge... That is 89 years out of the clubs 125 years WITHOUT that fan designed 1970's badge. Time for a badge redesign Mr Cortese. Those that think the badge has historically always been part of the club need to think again. 36 years out of 125 years is not alot! Leave the badge alone. I am a massive fan of the way our badge looks and I personally think it is one of the best in football. (Not bias) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSaint75 Posted 5 February, 2010 Share Posted 5 February, 2010 I like the sash design, not worried at all by moving away from vertical stripes for a season. I have the old Rank Xerox 100 year centenary shirt which wasn't a special design but had the badge changed slightly.....strangley that wasn't stripes either so this long history of stripes goes back a wapping 25 years. If the badge was to be re-designed as well as the shirt i think it would need to be very similar, else in years to come on TV replays etc. we wouldn't be identifiable as saints at all. IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Mockles Posted 5 February, 2010 Share Posted 5 February, 2010 Whilst I'm not that keen on the sash, I can understand the reasoning. People need to get a sense of perspective. It's a fooball shirt, for a limited run, which will likely revert to the more popular vertical stripes (or some derivation of) when the subsequent kit is launched!

Joesaint Posted 5 February, 2010 Share Posted 5 February, 2010 Yes, clubs evolve. But the identity of the club is widely accepted, right now, as being that fan designed Logo and red and white stripes, black shorts and white socks (with black and red trim). A one of special shirt for our 125 anniversary is a wonderful idea, but overall I would expect most fans to want us to remain with the colour schemes and shield we already possess. A fascinating debate all the same though! Thanks for the logo, I love it only being 27 its the one thing that relates to saints I love it, plus it is the best badge in the world. Love us to get that old sash strip. PS. What is the chance of some of the team growing 'proper man moustaches' like the old days, and then for the team photo instead of being all formal being in that old school kinda f**k you I'm better look!!! ha ha I know some teams have been known to do silly stuff for team bonding and any player that did.... would be nice ha ha:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Rabbit Posted 5 February, 2010 Share Posted 5 February, 2010 I could not resist...nothing innovative or that hasn't been shown on this thread already, but thought it added a bit more of a realistic feel to a possible design for the shirt.

rocknrollman no2 Posted 5 February, 2010 Share Posted 5 February, 2010 Can we still keep the red and white stripes please,because thats is what Saints have been associated with since i was a kid and i happen to think thats our best kit. Also i would like our present badge to stay the same,because not only do i have that badge tattooed on my back,i also think its the best one we have had for a long time.

B Rabbit Posted 5 February, 2010 Share Posted 5 February, 2010 ^^ The whole point of this commemorative shirt is it is a ONE off..for ONE season...to celebrate our history..it is supposed to be different in a way that it is remembered as THE shirt to celebrate this landmark date with. I've got an idea..lets just do a one off red and white stripe shirt..like every other couple of years, plonker. The clubs history is alot deeper and more important than your child hood to present day memories of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocknrollman no2 Posted 5 February, 2010 Share Posted 5 February, 2010 So B Rabbit you liked the club badge we had when we won the FA Cup in 76?To me it looked like half of it was missing,but hey,its our history so we should bring it back.Saints used to play in shorts that looked like "bloomers",should we bring them back because its in our history? Like it or not,we are known for playing in red and white stripes.Why change a popular formula? If the club wants to bring out a special shirt,why not do a one off like the FA Cup one that was produced to celebrate 30 years? Also please dont patronise me about the clubs history and dont post in orange because it makes you look like a plonker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteleySaint30 Posted 5 February, 2010 Share Posted 5 February, 2010 Someone send the sash one to the club. I think it looks *ucking great. I know they will already be considering the design but our new owners are very keen to take on board ideas and liaise with the 'lunatic fringe' (sorry couldnt resist a dig at the old duck). Jesus, how times have changed. Im in love with saints again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StDunko Posted 5 February, 2010 Share Posted 5 February, 2010 I think the sash shirt would be a great idea. A nod to those that founded our club, without them none of us would be posting our opinions here today. If a red sash was good enough for them it's sure good enough for me. Back to stripes for the following season though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigersaint Posted 5 February, 2010 Share Posted 5 February, 2010 How about this version of those above - I like the idea of using the sash but integrating the stripes? :smt045 There’s a lot of great thoughts on here as to how we could envisage our commemorative shirt and I would like to see a combination of ideas mentioned on this thread that is chronological of a “From and To” of our history. Such as the Sash representing our early years, the stripes representative in the sash through our years and our current badge representing our modern years. I think the design standing out to cover our history of these times is the one posted by Saint Fan CaM. I think a shirt like this would be worthy of our history and would look very nice in keeping with our past to present day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 5 February, 2010 Share Posted 5 February, 2010 (edited) thats is what Saints have been associated with since i was a kid Were you not alive in the 1980's? No red and white stripes between 1980 and 1989(Saints most successful decade). Anyway this red sash kit is for ONE YEAR 2010/11 season. So why does it matter? Back to stripes in 2011. i would like our present badge to stay the same,because not only do i have that badge tattooed on my back,i also think its the best one we have had for a long time. That badge has only existed for 36 years out of 125 years. So hardly traditional. It was designed by a fan in a competition the club ran in 1974 and it shows in its style and cartoony look.

The9 Posted 6 February, 2010 Share Posted 6 February, 2010 The article suggest that we will be using a sash design shirt, as per our first kit Mm, good point, amazing how soon I assimilate information nowadays, forgot that it hadn't actually been confirmed... I hate those sash/stripe compromises and the ugly 3 sash thing is almost as bad as the early 90s Chelsea away kit it looks horribly like. Plain sash or plain stripes is fine by me. And anyone who thinks that classic plain England shirt is "pikey" is missing the point. It's a beautiful, classic design, Umbro aren't responsible for the mongs who want to wear it with their trackies and hats... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 6 February, 2010 Share Posted 6 February, 2010 That looks ace, not sure I'm happy about Mr. Griffin being our number nine....

St Landrew Posted 6 February, 2010 Share Posted 6 February, 2010 I quite like the red sash. Although Saints have played in red and white stripes from most of their existence, they first played in white with a red sash. That firmly makes a point of those original years. Of course, we could always play in red and white quarters, which I believe we did for a time. I'm happy with the white, with red sash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB Saint Posted 6 February, 2010 Share Posted 6 February, 2010 I like this sash idea. If umbro do it in the England tailored style and in a half decent fabric (Not the usual rayon / nylon affair as, let's face it, most footie shirts are of crap quality) it will be a classic.
