capitalsaint Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 Having seen buctootim's post on another thread, thought I'd pluck up the courage to say that I want to keep the sash. I think it's brilliant, and it is unique for our country. No more sunderland/stoke/sheffield utd clones. Maybe we could have a poll? Cue abuse.
niceandfriendly Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 It's so god damn sexy. But stripes will and should return for next season.
Scudamore Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 I'd be happy enough to alternate between the two... So add it to the poll and i'll vote...
SuperMikey Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 It is unique, and I love the kit, but we are Saints and we are red and white stripes. That is our history.
StDunko Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 I love it for this special year. But i'm also looking forward to the return of stripes next season. Plus we do look a bit like palarse (and Man City have a sash too).
ottery st mary Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 (edited) You have fallen for who?...Sash... Is the Sash that boy who plays the banjo in that little Irish group U2? Keep stripes as main kit and the sash for other days out... Edited 12 January, 2011 by ottery st mary
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 I voted no but I love the kit this season. Just wouldn't want to see it replace the stripes permanantly.
niceandfriendly Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 Blimey, the mods are going poll crazy now! Not sure how to answer it, because I love the kit but I want the stripes back for next season.
CWD Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 Blimey, the mods are going poll crazy now! Not sure how to answer it, because I love the kit but I want the stripes back for next season. This. The sash will be remembered fondly but stripes is us - at least until it is brought back for our 150th!
South Londoner Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 Loving the Sash, but back to Stripes next season, please.
Macey_J2 Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 I've voted yes, but next years kit has already been finalised and i dont think its got the sash
Jones91 Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 Back to the stripes, it will make the Sash shirt worth more then. Maybe bring it back when we are in Europe... __________________________________________________ Other news: Shakira is now single!
kelkel31 Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 its probably right to say we should go back the the red and white strips but maybe some version of the sash could be used for the away kit in future years, yellow with a blue sash maybe.
niceandfriendly Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 Other news: Shakira is now single! Ooh, I'm recently single too. This can't just be a coincidence.
South City Si Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 (edited) Love the sash for this year as others have said but expect and want stripes back. Unoriginal or not it has been the main (consistant) kit for most of our heritage. Maybe yellow away shirt with a blue sash? Edited 12 January, 2011 by South City Si
saints-cris Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 I like the sash, but I wouldn't want it for good. I like the stripes too much.
Mister Neil Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 ..... it is unique for our country. As a main kit maybe, but Palace and Man City both have a sash on their second kit
Liquidshokk Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 Took a while to decide between yes and dont know but went for yes... now im thinking dont know... or maybe no as it will make this kit more special being a one season kit style... As long as the next stripes kit is as classy and as good quality and not just a boring t shirt with red and white stripes on it i'd be happy to have the stripes back. Really wasnt impressed with the away kit design/quality this season so hope its not like that...
Northant Saint Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 just about to say the above, I think that would look very good.
Northant Saint Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 just about to say the above, I think that would look very good. The yellow with blue sash that is.
Bailey Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 I love the sash, but I also like the fact that it represents our 125th year. It'd be fantastic to look back in a few years time and say , "I remember when we had the sash kit! Was our 125th year and the season we won the league!" If we were to keep it, then it'd take some of the significance away IMO. Return to the famous red and white stripes next season please.
buctootim Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 Its great to have a strip which is instantly identifiable as Saints. The stripes are too generic.
Gingeletiss Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 It is unique, and I love the kit, but we are Saints and we are red and white stripes. That is our history. Exactly, hence the sash!
trousers Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 its probably right to say we should go back the the red and white strips but maybe some version of the sash could be used for the away kit in future years, yellow with a blue sash maybe. + 1

Return to the famous red and white stripes next season please. i see what you mean, but the red and white stripes are famous as being the strip of lots of teams. they aren't actually the famous red and white of southampton any more than stoke et al. the sash on the other hand...
Petersfield Saint Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 I think Docker-P should have the casting vote
trousers Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 In fact....let's have it as a permanent 3rd kit.....never changing the design over the coming years......the Markus Liebherr memorial kit....

So folklore has it, maybe Duncan can expand on the rumour, that we in fact took the stripes idea from Stoke!
thefunkygibbons Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 Looking forward to playing in the Championship in the stripes
Danish Saint Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 Love the stripes, keep a yellow away kit and the white with red sash as third kit.
Jimmy_D Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 I love the sash kit, but I think a big part of that is the fact there's no sponsor on there. I don't know if it'd have the same impact with one.
Colinjb Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 I love the Sash but it is only a one off, it must only be a one off. It is special for that reason. I look forward to the stripes returning next year.
Liquidshokk Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 Im already dreading the gap between this and next season more than usual. Waiting for the new kit and the new season to start. Especially as we will be in the championship next season ;-)
dronskisaint Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 Stripes for me...love the sash & that it does commemorate our 125th & hopefully will be fondly remembered as the kit we won L1 in our anniversary year but we are a red & white stripes club. Happy for any combination though...particularly if we keep playing like this:D
Colinjb Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 Lets keep it as an away kit. White Shirt (+ Red Sash), White Shorts, Black Socks. No real clash with The Stripes, Black shorts and White socks.
Matthew Le God Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 (edited) From 1885 to 1950 Saints didn't have black shorts. They were blue. From 1885 to 1950 Saints didn't have red/white or white socks. They were blue. From 1885 to 1974 Saints didn't have the current fan designed in a competition club badge. From 1885 to 1896 and from 1980 to 1989 Saints didn't wear red and white stripes. Teams can change their kit style many have in the past. Leeds United everywhere are thought of as all white, but didn't wear white until the 1960's. A red sash makes Saints unique in English football and differentiates the kit from Sunderland, Sheff Utd, Stoke etc etc. and isn't a complete change as it links back to the club's roots. When everyone thinks of red sash let them think Saints (and Peru) . Docker-P would have had a nightmare if he were a fan in the 1950's when Saints started wearing black shorts and white/red socks for the first time after 65 years of blue socks. I think we should stick with the sash. Edited 12 January, 2011 by Matthew Le God
dan17 Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 In fact....let's have it as a permanent 3rd kit.....never changing the design over the coming years......the Markus Liebherr memorial kit.... ooooh like that idea
holepuncture Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 weve never looked so good! I voted yes, but id still like some Air Florida style kits. Still, the Sash = best kit ive ever owned!
Toomer Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 I voted no it is OK for one season but we need to go back to our traditional kit next season and YELLOWS for away.
capitalsaint Posted 12 January, 2011 Author Posted 12 January, 2011 if it weren't for the poll i'd assume the consensus is to go back to stripes, the sash lovers are clearly far less vocal.
dune Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 No. I think it's a terrible strip and I can't wait for us to get back to our proper stripes.
Saint_clark Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 I love it, but only for a season. Back to stripes next season please.
Gingeletiss Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 If we go up in the 'sash', then we should keep it, as it will be deemed to be lucky!
Matthew Le God Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 I voted no it is OK for one season but we need to go back to our traditional kit next season and YELLOWS for away. What is the traditional kit though? - For 52% of the club's history it had blue shorts and blue socks. - For 71% of the clubs history it didn't have the current badge style. - The % of the club's history where it had a yellow away kit is tiny. They should have stuck with the first kit in 1885. It is unique in England and looks good.
Ken Tone Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 It is unique, and I love the kit, but we are Saints and we are red and white stripes. That is our history. Never seen Palace or Man City ? Hardly unique
capitalsaint Posted 12 January, 2011 Author Posted 12 January, 2011 Never seen Palace or Man City ? Hardly unique neither of those have the same coloured sash, whereas loads of teams have exactly the same colour and style strip as our old kit. what about if he had said: it is a unique HOME kit, unlike the stripes?
Colinjb Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 Quite surprised at the percentages to be fair. I wonder how many people thought this back in September?
