forever a red and white Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 Heard from someone well connected with Umbro that one of the designs for next season's shirt would be that we would keep the sash and have the sponsor underneath the badge, much like they have when the 'Saints Foundation' has appeared on shirts. Nothing for certain.
doddisalegend Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 I think I'd like to go back to red and white stripes if I'm honest. This years kit was a nice change for the 125 year but somehow saints not in red and white stripes seems wrong IMO.

dune Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 Stripes and a collar please. The shirt in my avatar was the best design we've ever had. Just remake that. Simples.
hughieslastminutegoal Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 "...one of the designs..." How many designs were/are on the table? All those except the one "in the bag".

alpine_saint Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 Dont see why we MUST go back to stripes. I quite like the idea in the orginal post, but would definitely change the colour of the shorts to red and socks to white.
Wes Tender Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 IMO the current sash kit is the best we've ever had.. Apart from Man City copying it for their away kit, we're different and original. Too many teams are indistinguishable with the red and white stripes.
Son of Bob Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 I'd like a white shirt with a red sash and some black detailing, black shorts and white socks with red and black detailing.

Too many teams are indistinguishable with the red and white stripes. Yep, but I also like the red-and-white quarters as well. If you dont change a winning team, why change a lucky kit ?
Legod Third Coming Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 There is way too much interest in fashion exhibited by our fans. No wonder you don't sing during games...
Legod Third Coming Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 Yep, but I also like the red-and-white quarters as well. If you dont change a winning team, why change a lucky kit ? All your years of bleating about poor management and unfit/unmotivated players and it was only the kit that stopped us winning...
hamster Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 A nice broderie anglais panel would be nice. How about the names of all forum members embroidered into the fabric too? Full members only of course. Stripes all the way for me, quite a few sash shirts are starting to fade, the Northam is looking a bit grey/pink in parts.
John B Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 Man U and Liverpool play in Red Chelsea Pompey in Blue Stoke Sunderland Southampton play in Red and White Stripes

scott_saints Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 I reckon Cortese will like the idea of us being the only team with a certain type of kit (home kit, anyway).
Spudders Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 "...one of the designs..." How many designs were/are on the table? According to our chairman, the kit was sorted back in November!
hughieslastminutegoal Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 There's always an empty seat next to me Hughie Why's that, Hampster?

Nothing for certain. would be happy with that. Good kit, associated with positive times
forever a red and white Posted 6 April, 2011 Author Posted 6 April, 2011 Of course it is probably one of many designs. Cortese has previously said that the design of the new shirt was almost complete early in the season, which makes me think we are either inclined to stay with the sash as a ready made desgin or follow the Sunderland kit which has been released rather early as well.
St Chalet Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 *Posts Deleted* Please keep on topic and non-personal. It's a kit rumour ffs.
alpine_saint Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 *Posts Deleted* Please keep on topic and non-personal. It's a kit rumour ffs. I know, that's why I found dune's post completely outrageous.

Saint_clark Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 If this is done from a marketing view point, it's a big mistake - no-one's going to buy the sash shirt with a sponsor on it when they can get the plain one a few weeks before. But if they're doing it just because it looks fantastic and they want it to be "the" shirt of the new Saints era, then fair play. The only reason i'm not happy with keeping the sash is because we can't seem to get away from the come on you reds chant.
Under Weststand Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 I liked the sash shirt and thought it was a good idea for the 125th anniversary, but I wouldn't like to see it kept on past this season. I hope we return to the red & white stripes, but that could well prove a problem with the new sponsor, probably have to have a white panel on the front and looks tacky? Maybe we should go back to the Keegan era with the large white stripe down the middle Rank Xerox/Air Florida type, would probably be the best compromise.

MadDogMatt Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 I agree the COYR chant is engrained We even sing it when we play a team in red ffs like both Charlton games I have grown to like the sash but would prefer to be back in stripes most important though ditch the black away and revert to Yellows Whoever heard anyone sing come on you blacks

SaintBobby Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 Am pretty sure we'll be abck in stripes for the home kit. Possibility of sash and yellow/blue colours for away kit, perhaps?
alpine_saint Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 Am pretty sure we'll be abck in stripes for the home kit. With what probability ? What are the bookies offering ?
Barry the Badger Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 I agree the COYR chant is engrained We even sing it when we play a team in red ffs like both Charlton games If we did stick with the sash I reckon it should be with red shorts and socks so other teams can't come to St Mary's and play in red.

Nothing for certain. Stripes are returning and away shirt is yellow with blue trim in a Brazil style. Home shirt available May, Away shirt July. Sponsors logo makes shirt looks naff allgedly, better without but what shirt doesn't? Current home shirt best selling Saints shirt of all time, again unsurprising. At last I am finally ITK on something
Toadhall Saint Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 Sash has been nice but for me its got to be stripes - plain and simple!
Crab Lungs Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 (edited) Pah, even though it doesn't matter, I'm going to start mocking up some kits anyway! Any requests.. Edited 6 April, 2011 by Crab Lungs
Smirking_Saint Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 Yeah, lets have one with red and white circles, eminating from the badge Just for a laugh Crabbie. FWIW i really like our current kit and think its the best we have ever had.
Hopkins Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 Pah, even though it doesn't matter, I'm going to start mocking up some kits anyway! Any requests.. I request you not to do it. Not only are the majority of the guff, but none of them will actually be right either. This then leads to the one of two that might actually be alright to be deemed better than the one that they do actually come up with which only results in people getting all annoyed and depressed when the one they wanted doesn't get made.
Smirking_Saint Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 And then do one with a red and white penis on it. Or a pair of boobies
Viking Warrior Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 I do like the sash shirt so a variation on that will be ok with me
alpine_saint Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 Pah, even though it doesn't matter, I'm going to start mocking up some kits anyway! Any requests.. How about the present one with the sponsor logo under the badge, as Son of Bob proposed ?
sadoldgit Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 Dont see why we MUST go back to stripes. I quite like the idea in the orginal post, but would definitely change the colour of the shorts to red and socks to white. Because it just ain't Sants without the stripes and black shorts Alps. And the sash is pants. And there is nothing "lucky" about the kit. The results are down to the players and management, not the shirts.
Matthew Le God Posted 6 April, 2011 Posted 6 April, 2011 Because it just ain't Sants without the stripes and black shorts Alps. So were Saints, not Saints before 1950? They didn't wear black shorts until 1950. That is 65 years out of 125 years - over 50% of the clubs history without black shorts.
