Colinjb Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 Thin stripes just reminds me of this: Never did like that shirt. Really wish we could have worn it a bit more though.
gjphilsaint Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 Thin stripes just reminds me of this: Never did like that shirt. Really wish we could have worn it a bit more though. Awful shirt.. not our style at all... really hoping that it isnt thin stripes!
Tac-tics Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 why oh ****in why do we do this, just release the kit now, its an extra months revenue, its boring now.
SO16_Saint Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 why oh ****in why do we do this, just release the kit now, its an extra months revenue, its boring now. Buy it now, or buy it in a months time, you still buy it. It's a great ploy, IMO.
Colinjb Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 Buy it now, or buy it in a months time, you still buy it. It's a great ploy, IMO. Sadly, in terms of marketting sense it makes sense.... it drives us mad, we feel frustrated and used.... but it'll just make people want it more.
LGTL Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 why oh ****in why do we do this, just release the kit now, its an extra months revenue, its boring now. And the club miss out on free advertising on our 18 pager...
beatlesaint Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 Sadly, in terms of marketting sense it makes sense.... it drives us mad, we feel frustrated and used.... but it'll just make people want it more. You would want it even more if they showed you what the bloody thing will look like.......I cant believe they will start taking orders and still not have shown customers what the design is. That is just crazy.....its a football shirt FFS not a secret blue print for a nuclear war submarine !
krissyboy31 Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 why oh ****in why do we do this, just release the kit now, its an extra months revenue, its boring now. Blimey, I remember the days when the replica kits weren't launched until a couple of months into the season. Mind you, they used to last 3 or 4 seasons then.
Saint-Armstrong Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 Stars in Stripes. Maybe the launch date allows for some "stars" to arrive to push the new "stripes" kit. I'm reading into it too much.
bender Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 What a f*king joke. The one thing to keep the boredom away during the summer of no football (especially with no Euros or world cup) is the buying of the new shirt and possibly wearing it while on holiday. Why the hell are we waiting until just before the season starts.
saint lard Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 Stars in Stripes. Maybe the launch date allows for some "stars" to arrive to push the new "stripes" kit. I'm reading into it too much. If we have not secured the signing of someone capable of performing in the NPC by 20th july i will begin to wonder what the hell they are playing at.
Saint-Armstrong Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 If we have not secured the signing of someone capable of performing in the NPC by 20th july i will begin to wonder what the hell they are playing at. I should think/hope we won't be in that situation, pretty sure NA said he wanted 3 or 4 "quality" players, could these be the new "Stars in Stripes" ?

Why the hell are we waiting until just before the season starts. With a pair of reebok classics?
Colinjb Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 With a pair of reebok classics? Now you're talking!!!!
Right sider Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 I'm thinking single 'stripe' made up of lots of thin ones down the centre of the shirt.
Smirking_Saint Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 Buy it now, or buy it in a months time, you still buy it. It's a great ploy, IMO. This Calm down poppets Its only a shirt FFS I hope we wear the sash again though.
SuperMikey Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 We've got 35 days until the kit is launched then... can't help but feel that they're leaving it a wee bit late but never mind!
Hatch Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 right from the olympic 2012 book of sales, gives us your money now and we will tell you in a month what you getting. its ******.
benjii Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 What a f*king joke. The one thing to keep the boredom away during the summer of no football (especially with no Euros or world cup) is the buying of the new shirt and possibly wearing it while on holiday. Why the hell are we waiting until just before the season starts. Yeah, mush. I really love looking like a bell-end on my hols too!! Lolzz!!11 It's the one thing that sustains me through the desolate summer months.
Smirking_Saint Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 We've got 35 days until the kit is launched then... can't help but feel that they're leaving it a wee bit late but never mind! Bit late for what ?? The 1st week in Sept will be too late, I suppose with no me time at the stadium you have more time to worry about what the new kit would look like.
Smirking_Saint Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 Yeah, mush. I really love looking like a bell-end on my hols too!! Lolzz!!11 It's the one thing that sustains me through the desolate summer months. well, look at the name
SuperMikey Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 Bit late for what ?? The 1st week in Sept will be too late, I suppose with no me time at the stadium you have more time to worry about what the new kit would look like. Bit tetchy... Most other clubs have launched their kits already, or will in the next few weeks. We've got almost another 5 weeks until our launch. Just sayin'...
bender Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 The point is its a f*cking t shirt. You wear them during the summer. So why let half the summer get away before releasing it. Most other clubs know what their shirt will be.
Smirking_Saint Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 Bit tetchy... Most other clubs have launched their kits already, or will in the next few weeks. We've got almost another 5 weeks until our launch. Just sayin'... But it makes no real difference, I mean whats it too late for ?? We are not the only club that has not released it yet, we probably won't be the last. FFS the only reason clubs change the kit every year is to get £40 quid out of the fans for one. £40 f*cking quid for a football shirt ? I'd consider buying one for 5 a sides etc if they were cheaper, TBF I never buy the kits anyways, I may have bought this years if it wasn't expensive.
beatlesaint Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 So with the home shirt being unveiled 2 weeks before the season starts when the hell are they releasing the away shirt ?
patred44 Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 tried searching on the umbro website and got this for Southampton http://www.umbro.com/#/search/?keyword=southampton&locale=en_GB
S-Clarke Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 I've had it with this club, this, coupled with them not letting me know what players they want to sign has finished me off.
Smirking_Saint Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 I've had it with this club, this, coupled with them not letting me know what players they want to sign has finished me off. cortese finished you off ??
EBS1980 Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 Possibly a largely white shirt with a band of thin red stripes down the middle?
itchen_dan Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 Possibly a largely white shirt with a band of thin red stripes down the middle? And possibly the badge in the middle like the uefa cup kit from 2003? Either way, I'm sticking with the sash
SO16_Saint Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 Possibly a largely white shirt with a band of thin red stripes down the middle? A stripey sash?
doggface Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 Looks like the cosmos neck line is unlikely. Seems from the silhouette that the shirt almost certainly has a collar.
Pilchards Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 The sash launch was a success as the club took record sales over the weekend, why should they not do it again? I enjoyed it last year as it was not just a shirt journey but some entertainment in the concourse laid on by the club. Same again please!
Cestrian Saint Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 All this teasing with dates is pathetic. Who in their right mind would pre-order a shirt without seeing it? The people at the club who are behind this are idiots. Just release the bloody shirt. We are approaching holiday season, by releasing it at the end of July they're missing a huge opportunity to sell shirts to people who maybe want to be seen in their clubs latest colours on their summer holiday.

St. Neil Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 Looks like the silhouette is having a cheeky slash (not sash) against some red railings.
benjii Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 Yeah, the club are clueless... just look at their track record when it comes to shirt sales!
itchen_dan Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 Looks like the cosmos neck line is unlikely. Seems from the silhouette that the shirt almost certainly has a collar. Im pretty sure that the silhouette is just Lambert from this seasons sash launch poster

We are approaching holiday season, by releasing it at the end of July they're missing a huge opportunity to sell shirts to people who maybe want to be seen in their clubs latest colours on their summer holiday. Hundreds if not thousands will pre-order. They will do this because they love wearing their clubs colours/a gift for someone, plenty of reasons. You buy a ticket to the game before you know the result don't you! hey, a few may even buy a season ticket
sfc4prem Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 I reckon it's in the same style as the sash shirt but with normal red & white stripes.
SW11_Saint Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 A hint it will be thin stripes? let's hope not - they look horrific. Memories of that awful (two game) European kit Lowe tried to fleece people with.
SW11_Saint Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 Re Huddersfield kit - me too. That in red and White would be perfect.
Nexstar Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 Can't understand why they are releasing it 6 weeks later than they did last year.
Liquidshokk Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 Im pretty sure that the silhouette is just Lambert from this seasons sash launch poster Good spot. Without a doubt.
Cestrian Saint Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 Hundreds if not thousands will pre-order.

You buy a ticket to the game before you know the result don't you! hey, a few may even buy a season ticket Buying a ticket is completely different to spending £40 on an item of clothing that you've never seen. All you know is that it will be Red & White. What if it looks like an absolute dogs dinner? What if it's like a tight fitting cycle shirt and you part with your hard earned cash only to end up looking like a Michelin man who's had a fight with a bottle of Tomato ketchup? (I await the mock-up images of that) ;-)
Cestrian Saint Posted 15 June, 2011 Posted 15 June, 2011 (edited) Here's a thought. Think back to that old Man Ure shirt that had past players names all over it. What if 'Stars In Stripes' is a clue. Maybe the new shirt will have the names of former Saints 'Stars' in the stripes??? You heard it here first folks. ;-) Edited 15 June, 2011 by Cestrian Saint
