Traditional Kit

[docker-p]

I except I lost the argument about the new gash, sorry slash, kit versus red and white stripes. Not for the first time I'm on the wrong side of popular opinion.

However, I would like to point out to all those, including the OS, who keep calling the sash kit our traditional kit, that it isn't. It's our original kit.

The red and white stripes is our traditional kit, and will remain so until we've played in the sash kit for 100 plus years.

For those who doubt me look up in the OED with definition of both words.

COYR (if we can still say that in a predominantly white kit)

It's just for a season and is a nice change.

hmmm

I much prefer the old slogan "Come on you Saints" to be honest, so playing in white with red sash is fine. Actually it's more than fine - it might be THE kit - the one that helps define a future that will see us more successful than ever before. Plus there are fewer teams across the top divisions playing in this style (how many in red & white stripes - 4 or 5?).

I agree I personally will be a bit sad if I the year we get promoted we aren't wearing the hallowed red and white striped shirt. Not that I want to wait until be get that strip back of course.

[SNSUN]

Simple, buy last year's home kit and next year's special sash kit, cut them in half, and sew the back side of last year's kit onto the front of next years. Sash at the front, stripes at the back, problem solved, except for the backlash you'll get on here for destroying two Saints kits, and the backlash from the missus for messing up her sewing kit.

[krissyboy31]

Personally, I couldn't care if we were playing in purple and aquamarine spots, as long as we get promoted.

[rocknrollman no2]

Agree with you Docker.The sooner we are back to red and white stripes,the better.

[theyin]

behave the lot of you, it's class. FFS it's one season only and offers a bit of kudos. You'll all be remembering it as 'that kit' that began the surge to the top in a few years time

[St Landrew]

Agree with you Docker.The sooner we are back to red and white stripes,the better.

 

After the sash, I wouldn't mind a go at the red & white squares.

Meh why not Triangles? - nobody else has tried that.

[alpine_saint]

Yawn.......

[Raging Bull]

Yawn.......

 

indeed

[bigchrisy]

It's just a football kit. Good god.

[harvey]

I agree!.........that got me thinking, I also think that we should go back to the days when someone had to walk infront of a motor vehicle waving a red flag to warn other road users.

Not in my book. The pun is the lowest form of wit, all day long.

you're right Ron, they are an invasive,non-native species....lovely to look at but cause a lot of problems......much like the Polish!..

 

thats a no on that idea then.......

[St Steve]

The new Sash kit is fine and a welcome change from the red and white strips. Next season we should bring back the best kit ever.

 

 

COYWARS

[opthomps]

...or at least the sleeves from that kit. Fantastic.

[dickyhale]

Who gives a F**k, you probably don't even buy the kits so stop moaning.

[Gordon Mockles]

zzzzzZZZZ People going on and on and ON about stripes is bad enough (we're red & white - doesn't have to be stripes!) Docker still harping on about his dislike for the sash. We get the point, we did 1st time you brought it up but we have the sash so get over it.

In other news, the away kit is due for release between now and saturday.

Got a feeling we'll see it tonight. Saints love releasing things about 11:15 on Thursday evenings for some reason

Where does that idea come from ?

[St.Patrik]

Any news about the goalie shirt ? Cant wait got get one for my oldest daughter.

"Saints can also reveal that details of the 10/11 Away Kit will be unveiled within the next couple of weeks. As ever, details will be announced first on the Club's official website."

 

That was posted on the day of the home kit release, and the steward in the shop said it would be in 2 weeks time.

Going by recent communications from the club, 'a couple of weeks' might mean a month. I'd expect it to be sometime in the next week.

[Saint Billy]

I personally remember many bad times seeing saints playing in the red and white stripes so not bothered about them really.

 

I would not shed a tear if I never saw the stripes again and I have been watching and supporting saints for 45 years.

 

As someone mentioned earlier, if they win promotion I dont care what kit they wear.

[Red and White Russ]

I hear Cortese is toying with the idea of using that as our away kit for next season.

Here is the home one.

 

 

Went on sale at the same time as when the outfield kit was launched.

Why not try circles ?

Then we could re-sign fabrice Fernandes !!
