New Kit...

[John B]

Pretty over whelming support for the kit then! should fly off the shelves, could even be worn during the england games over the world cup lol

 

How much are they?

[waterlooville saint]

I think it looks great - I'm buying one as soon as I can

[Deano6]

I like it. I'm going to get a shirt with "Alpine Saint" on the back.

[Joesaint]

Love it, really looking forward to getting one on Saturday thinking about getting one for the daughter (bit under 3) but its alot of money. Saying that I really am tempted.

 

Love it COYS

[rocknrollman no2]

Sorry but i hate it and certainly wont be buying it.For me Saints should be red and white stripes.If people like it,then fair enough,but i will wait until we get a decent shirt again.

'On sale now' my arse!! The Megastore in West Quay arent getting them til Sunday!!

Cortese out ffs?

[Matthew Le God]

An 85% approval rating from a poll of 1077 people is very impressive!

 

With 7% indifferent and 7% against.

 

I doubt many kits from any team have ever had such high approval from a large sample of the fanbase.

 

Umbro and Cortese/Liebherr (who would have given it final approval) choose very well indeed.

Nothing to do with the People back in 1885 then who chose the original strip

 

It is the 125 Anniversary Season so the Shirt chosen was not a big surprise I would have thought

I'll give him one more chance. If it doesnt cost £125 he's out.

What a shock. The little gays along the coast who want a rivalry with us () don't like our new shirt. Bless.

4 pages of vitriol about a rival's new kit? Cortese will have a sly grin on his face. If the opposition don't like it then you can guarantee you've done a good job

[Cestrian Saint]

I'm suprised at how popular it is. I think it's boring and that it looks like something that a jockey would wear.

No thought has gone into it. It's a 125 year old design, so it's not as if the designers have had to do much work for their money. A new take on the original Saints shirt would have been far more exciting. Once again the forum users came up with better ideas than the designers at Umbro. We've ended up with an England shirt with a diagonal red stripe. Whooopee!

 

Whatever next? An away shirt that's basically a Sweden kit with a Saints badge. I wouldn't put it past them.

We should worry about what the Brighton fans think about our kit.

It is a new take on the original Saints shirt.....its a retro design, as you say 125 years worth.....what would you want to make it more exciting ?

 

It is only for one season, as a mark of the anniversary in the same way Arsenal went for the maroon shirt a few years back.....I really dont see what you expected tbh.

See, I told you that picture I showed you was the finished article. You said you thought it was nice when I showed you the pic. Or were you just being polite, hoping that it was a fake and that the actual shirt would be something completely different? Well sorry mate, It isn't. You've got 12 months of looking like a jockey or a Polo player

See you tomorrow.

[Kevtherev]

Really nice, but if this is accurate the sash is the wrong way :D

It's not a new take at all. It looks like it was made in 1885. The fact that you've used the word 'retro' to describe it says it all. They should have done this shirt as a limited release. Maybe worn it for one game only and charged more for it. They could have made it really special by only releasing 125 of them. That would have made them very collectable. Other clubs have done this type of thing and it's proved to be very popular.

As I said before, the designs that some of our own fans produced had far more thought put into them.

 

Sid. I won't be looking like a jockey or a polo player as I won't be buying it.

Well I love the kit, its unique really and I think it is the right decision. Going Saturday with the daughter to buy it and looking forward to it. COYS.

 

PS cheer up, suppose I have not been a saints fan for long as only 28 but I'm loving the positive feeling at the moment.

[SNSUN]

Is it just me or does Hammond, from some angles in that video, look like Beattie?

 

Encore une fois to be our new entry song...

[InvictaSaint]

Interesting to see the USA strip from the game where they beat England 1-0 - White shirt with what I think is a red sash, top left to bottom right as you look at it. Only difference was a v neck collar with a blue trim. On BBC 1 now....

You beat me to it - nearly identical, although it was in black and white. (The TV, not the strip - I assume the strip was the same colour.)

Anyway, is anyone else a little worried that Morgan and Lallana were not pictured in the new kit?

Were you expecting a squad photo?

 

Maybe they were on holiday.

 

Maybe they didn't need 20 1st team players for a photo shoot of 5 players. Some had to be left out.

[saintsforlife7]

Maybe Morgan is still on holiday after playing in U.21 tournament and not around, and maybe Lallana also is on holiday still? Hopefully people are just reading too much into it

It's ok. Surman or Neville or Kaka were in the background watching the photoshoot...

[harvey]

I like it, but it should be with white socks with a thick red stripe on the outside...not plain black.

If you are going to recreate a historic kit you shouldn't go halfway. The socks were black in 1885, so a recreation of the kit should have black socks.

Agree with extracts in bold.

 

Yes,I like it to a point but its a bit of a cop out in so far as it is 'England with a single sash on the front'. Should be front and back sash to be authentic.

 

As you say,some better designs on the forum.

 

The badge is ludicrous.

 

No please,not another yellow and blue away kit looking like Sweden.

But they are so pleased to have kept the bloke some of them at the back of the stand jokingly refer to, within their circle of friends, as 'Indigo Cardigan' (sn!gger,sn!gger..)

Infact if you look at it it like that, maybe be we should make all of the players ditch there BMW'S & AUDIS, and turn up for training and matches on Pennyfarthings.

Awful, just as I thought it would be. Won't be buying it.

[Dr Who?]

I have given it a few viewings and now think I can post a balanced view.

 

It is awesome.... will be buying it without a doubt.

 

How about some stripes on the away shirt for the people who seem like they are going to miss them..... for ONE season!!

Can't wait to see young Pulis donning the new kit.

 

 

Oh!!!

[SaintRobbie]

 

Looks great, I was expecting the stripe to run top right to bottom left as you look at it, but it looks much better this way. Well done Saints! 125 years of pride.

Are some of you genuinely happy/upset about the kit?

 

Sorry, unless you are a bird, that's a bit gay don't you think?

 

I think you are gay....infact I think you recieve sausage on a regular basis.

[Ludwig]

All pictured players are 'new', that could explain the absence of Adam and Morgan from the picture.

[Windmill Arm 2]

Im astonished 85% of you lot like it. I think it is awful. We dont look like Southampton anymore. It looks like a traning polo top. Bloody Awful.

 

Don't buy one then you tart!! FFS, I can't believe some people, we've had it on pretty good authority that the sash kit was coming for ages.....now they complain.
