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:

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 ;-)

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........

 

I'll get my bells...

 

Saints fans celebrate the launch of the new home kit...

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.

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?

 

 

"Paul is dead bless him" (obscure cultural reference for oldies about conspiracy hint theories)

 

It's been a long week

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.

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.

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

 

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.

Apart from the big red stripe across it, you mean ;)

 

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

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?

 

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

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: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.

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

 

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 ?

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

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?
