New Kit...

[Glasgow_Saint]

Undecided until I see what it's made from Will buy myself one though and get the two kids one.

 

Bit of free advice....spend the extra money and get the kids one each. They will only fight over it otherwise.

 

PM me for more parental advise.

[Durleyfos]

Hopefully I'll get that for Fathers Day.

 

If not, they're going up for adoption!

[Nexstar]

Simple and smart, I expect St. Mary's will be pretty busy tomorrow.

[dubai_phil]

I will mail you the original then Phil!!!! Only a small mark up lol

 

Oh thanks, in fact I would not charge you the normal commission for working with such a global sporting legend. If I wasn't collecting mine on 11th July I'd actually pay you your costs rather than charging you my usual 30% Image Rights.

 

Annoyingly my lad who lives in Frankfurt is back home this weekend so he'll get his before me.

 

Oh and by collecting mine in July I would beat the local postal system by something like 3 months. :cool:

[Toomer]

Yep I like that, if you read this daughter don't forget fathers day.

[alpine_saint]

Looks like a polo shirt, come to think of it..

[Daren W]

I don't just like it, I genuinely love it.

 

Pretty much exactly what I said when I first saw it this morning, for the life of me I cannot see how people can't love it?

[doggface]

Some people have no taste Daren.

 

I knew it would be quality, lets face facts - Cortese may be a bit of a Tyrant, however he dresses well & is one smooth mutha****a!

 

I'll get me lip gloss........

[Chez]

it looks cack.

[Ken Tone]

Shirt in itself is ok but not with white shorts. Looks like school PE kit, as naff as the current England kit.

 

With black shorts it would have been much better IMO.

 

Still, shirt will look ok over a beer belly with jeans I suppose ;-)

[saint_stevo]

looking at it again, wouldn't look amiss on a Jockey....

[ottery st mary]

Good....But why is Messi not in the photo?

Lol. That explains the black socks then

[anothersaintinsouthsea]

love it. living round here I don't normally boter buying a shirt but will this time.

I disagree, I think kits always look better when the shorts and shirt matches - I can remember a couple of seasons ago we occasionally wore red shorts with our home kit and it looked amazing.

[dubai_phil]

Who's this Morris we're signing?

 

His goal celebration looks a bit ghey

[SoccerMom]

"A kit from yesterday for the team of tomorrow"

Love the kit, but sweet Jesus, that strapline...

[Give it to Ron]

My Mrs will love the black socks...she hates trying to get the mud out of the white ones ;-)

[Ken Tone]

Btw, if you hold the cursor over the picture on the OS, the name 'Norman' comes up for all players. Obviously a hint to our next signing?

Can you mock that up as a BS cover please ?

That made us look like Stoke. Ugh.

 

My only question now is whether the sash is also on the back.

 

There are a few decent shots on the video with more detail (badge looks ok on, btw), not sure you can tell from that.

 

PS, My zillions of quid bet about the "little triangle" at the bottom on the side of the shirt was right, it has a gold umbro logo in it.

If it's down to a dance off, I think we've got them...

[funkymojo44]

86% approval rating, well i don't recall that much positive reaction from any of our other kits.

 

Can we presume that the away kit will be similar only yellow and blue?

[docker-p]

It looks pants. Tradition? Nobody who has seen us play in the last 100 years would recognise that as a Saints shirt. None of the great players who have ever played for us wore anything like it. So One Nil to the marketeers over the traditionalist.

Nothing to be done about it now but grin and bear it.

Hope so.

[saintbenny]

sexy very sexy

[The9]

Doesn't look dissimilar to the white / white / red away kit of 3 seasons back actually.

Apart from the big red stripe across it, you mean

Shock as person who decided he wanted stripes months ago complains about it not being stripes.

 

As for the kits great players wore, what's that got to do with anything ?

 

Matt Le Tiss would have worn 20-30 different Saints kits, including non-stripes in the mid/late 80s, a load of non-striped away kits, and had some of his best moments in a really REALLY ugly home kit with a massive ugly Pony tick on the front which barely resembled stripes itself.

 

It's a one off commemorative shirt for a season, it looks great.

[The9]

Well yeah, but the shorts are very very similar (apart from the piping and light grey bit on the side, I know...)

Just as long as it's not blue and yellow, ie a yellow sash on a blue shirt/short.

[AndyNorthernSaints]

Are you all on drugs?

 

It's ****ing dreadful.

 

For once in my life i agree with Stanley. Looks like the Primark style England polo top with a sash.

Both Peru and River Plate's "sashes" run from the opposite shoulder.

well it was always going to be our original kit, so i'm not sure why people are moaning about it?

 

it's not like they've tweaked and updaetd the old design - they have litterally gone back to the first kit with a nice retro look. I cannot see the big deal as we all expected this anyway.

 

I believe the people that dislike it are in the complete minority.

:D:D You didn't disappoint Docker! I have been eagerly awaiting your response! Yep, you are right, there is no tradition at all in playing for one season in the club's initial colours!

 

None of the great players have worn anything like it? Well, Keegan, Channon, Ball and the rest all played in a kit that wasn't stripes.

 

The arguement has been done to death, but to summarise:

 

Stripes are Newcastle

Red and White is Southampton.

You mean the classically style polo-esque England shirt which is widely regarded as one of the simplest pieces of excellent design of recent years ?

 

I bet you love that frigging disgusting flame kit and the rubbish Pony Tick one, don't you ?

[The9]

You don't have to believe it, there's a poll !

[alpine_saint]

I liked the Pony tick kit.

I hated the flame kit.

 

I am curious about one thing. Did we have an away kit 125 years ago ? I think not.

[The9]

Haven't yet looked at it too closely, but anyone know if the sash is also on the back ? I'm assuming not, for purposes of number verification, but it never stopped us sticking red with white and slapping numbers you can't see over the top before.

 

(Except the 2003/4 UEFA Cup kit).

Everyone loved the flame kit.

Wasn't the 2003/4 Euro kit like that because of UEFA rules, which were about to come into play in the PL, but then scrapped?

[stevegrant]

You appear to have made a rather obvious faux pas there, Daren
