The9 Posted 14 June, 2011 Posted 14 June, 2011 My money is on red whte version of this. Mine isn't, the South American templates are a rule unto themselves, like the Japanese ones, they have designs you never see anywhere else. Speaking of which, new Man City shirt is a bit... "hmmm". As far as design concepts go, "the dots reflect the pattern of a soundwave of fans singing Blue Moon" is a pretty tenuous link.
SFKA South Woodford Posted 14 June, 2011 Posted 14 June, 2011 Nike, no thanks, they've never made a decent kit, and deserve to go bust for their sweatshop working practices! Corporate profit giant yanks at their worst!
capitalsaint Posted 14 June, 2011 Posted 14 June, 2011 Nike, no thanks, they've never made a decent kit, and deserve to go bust for their sweatshop working practices! Corporate profit giant yanks at their worst! It is a design made by somebody on football shirt culture, not an actual kit...
Matthew Le God Posted 14 June, 2011 Posted 14 June, 2011 Nike, no thanks, they've never made a decent kit, and deserve to go bust for their sweatshop working practices! Corporate profit giant yanks at their worst! Nike own Umbro and thus made the very popular Saints sash shirt for 2010/11.
The9 Posted 14 June, 2011 Posted 14 June, 2011 Nike, no thanks, they've never made a decent kit, and deserve to go bust for their sweatshop working practices! Corporate profit giant yanks at their worst! Nike have made hundreds of awesome kits. Arsenal's 1995 kit that saw Bergkamp's debut for a start, and the PSG kit of the same era. Their World Cup shirts of 2002 for various teams are classics already. Anyway, we have an Umbro deal for another 2 seasons, corporate ownership aside.

I tend to always like Arsenals away kit.
theyin Posted 14 June, 2011 Posted 14 June, 2011 (edited) I wish... On third look I like the Monaco shirt. Anyone else notice the apparent mix of sash and 76 - 80 Admiral kit? Just noticed the detail on the cuffs as well. This This This. Not the biggest fan ok Nike, can't Umbro borrow it. Oh & just remembered I've already been told its stripes of the traditional kind Edited 14 June, 2011 by theyin

The9 Posted 14 June, 2011 Posted 14 June, 2011 Oh, and if anyone fancies a weird rumour from that bastion of truth football-rumours.co.uk, here's one for you : http://www.football-rumours.co.uk/southampton-rumours.php 14 Jun 2011 13:46:06 I was on a tour today of Umbro's Design Workshop in Manchester as part of my university course and I was fortunate enough to see a demo of Southampton's new kit (I know... a bit boring) - it looks practically identical to the new Sunderland kit. However, there was no badge sewn on. I read these forums a fair bit and I have noticed some stuff going around that they may be changing that hideous crest of theres. So this could mean that there may be some truth in the rumours that they are changing their badge for next season? That's a pile of assumptions right there. 1) saw a kit that looked like Sunderland's without a badge and therefore believed it to be Saints (when it could be Sunderlands!) 2) Inferred from that that the badge is changing, based on there not being a badge on the shirt and forums like this one making up stuff about the badge changing. 3) No mention of the Cosmos collar, which the Sunderland kit doesn't have, or the sponsor, or any other verifiable details to give credibility to the story. 4) If you're reading this, as you "read the Forums", feel free to add some meat to the bones !
Ken Tone Posted 14 June, 2011 Posted 14 June, 2011 does anyone know if mini-kits for babies are usually made available at shirt launch or do they follow later on? my boys birthday in october so hopefully be available before then. You know I intially read this as 'mini-kits for babes' . Amazing what difference a single letter can make to the mental image caused. ;-)
darren2 Posted 14 June, 2011 Posted 14 June, 2011 Oh, and if anyone fancies a weird rumour from that bastion of truth football-rumours.co.uk, here's one for you : http://www.football-rumours.co.uk/southampton-rumours.php Or someone has assumed that because we play in red and white stripes it must be our kit. I mean what fool could think that this on the left: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/683/sfcq.jpg/ Could look anything like this: http://www.footballshirtculture.com/11/12-kits/sunderland-11-12-umbro-home-kit.html And to assume that we are changing our badge is just plain stupid. As long as they don't do anything daft like replacing the 125 red nose with something daft like a football.....

I agree with the gist of what you're saying but when receiving the tour might this person not have been told it was Southampton's new kit rather than assuming it simply because it's red and white?

Cestrian Saint Posted 14 June, 2011 Posted 14 June, 2011 Since when did we play in orange? Look at one of those old patrick shirts in the flesh and you'll see that it was a much more orangie shade of red than the red we currently wear.
SuperMikey Posted 14 June, 2011 Posted 14 June, 2011 If that wasn't so horribly photoshopped then it would be okay. Take the number off the front, make the sponsor logo slightly smaller and change the colour to a darker shade of red and it's fine. Fairly sure we'll revert back to our normal stripe style though.
Windmill Arm 2 Posted 14 June, 2011 Posted 14 June, 2011 If our new strip is anything like that apparent rank xerox horrid mash up, I won't be buying one, it does the original zero justice.

Of course, but there's nothing in that statement that suggests it...
Liquidshokk Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 Really really really hoping it's not this.... :S Planes will try and land on that strip as it rolls over some of the larger guts that frequent matches.....
patred44 Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 25th April 2008. I'll put it in my diary. 25 hrs 04 mins and 8 secs and counting
23rdSaint Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 Where did you find that? Archive?! It wasn't even for us; the 'S' in 'SFC' is a different font to the rest.
Hatch Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 25 hrs 04 mins and 8 secs and counting 25 days 4 hours and 8 minutes
Nexstar Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 i can't see it at all on the os, is this a blag Yes, it is no longer 2008.
The9 Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 Where did you find that? Archive?! You obviously haven't noticed the p155-poor photoshop on the "S" of SFC... I'm guessing it's a Liverpool kit launch (from 2008 ).
The9 Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 Well, that was difficult. http://www.fanfootball.co.uk/images/liverpool-fc-new-home-kit-2009-countdown1.jpg The bit of the URL you can't see says "liverpool-fc-new-home-kit-2009".
Saints foreva Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 "Stars in Stripes? That is the question... but what is the answer??? Check out the official Saints site at 19:00 today!" A picture uploaded by the official Saints facebook page.
Saint_lambden Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 News on the kit on the site at 7pm according to the OfficialSaints Facebook page. Kit released on 20th July.
Colinjb Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 So, the kit is launched on the 20th July, It'll go on sale on the 21st July........ but we can pre-order from the 30th June. So, we can pre order it even if we don't know what it'll look like......
itchen_dan Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 So, the kit is launched on the 20th July, It'll go on sale on the 21st July........ but we can pre-order from the 30th June. So, we can pre order it even if we don't know what it'll look like...... I've got a feeling they mean launched on 20th June because I cant see many people preordering upto a month in advance without even seeing the design.
saintscottofthenortham Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 What a pointless article. I know, it doesn't even tell us when the new kit is going to be released FFS!!! Oh wait...
saint lard Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 (edited) New kit released on my birthday,how appropriate. Other clubs seem to have just launched their kit,whereas we seem to have to have everything shrouded in mystery,and the dropping of hints and drip feeding info. Edited 15 June, 2011 by saint lard
beatlesaint Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 What a pointless article. Exactly......why dont they just show us what the bloody thing will look like ? Surely they arent going to keep it a closely guarded secret up until 20 July, thats just crazy and begs the question what kit will they play pre season friendlies in that come before 20 July, ie in Switzerland ?
itchen_dan Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 A hint it will be thin stripes? Or a block of thin stripes possibly in the style of the sash?!
saint lard Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 Or thick stripes made up of lots of little thin stripes.....FFS,it is no clearer than before this titbit of info. Guess we will have to just be patient.
