Liquidshokk Posted 8 July, 2011 Posted 8 July, 2011 Someone just mailed me this link saying its the new kit http://yfrog.com/z/kjq3rfaj Not believing that at all, but thought I should share. I really really really hate that design.. the collar doesnt match the rest of the shirt and the uneven white strip just looks wrong. If this is the shirt then my pre-order will be going back.
trousers Posted 8 July, 2011 Posted 8 July, 2011 It is a crudely drawn photoshop effort. Look closely at it (particularly around the badge) and you can see it isn't real. There's only ever "real" images of a kit that Umbro design for/with a club? And there was me thinking there would be a series of drawing-board type designs that get produced during the design process....not that those type of crude drawings would ever get leaked of course.... ;-)
sammysaint Posted 8 July, 2011 Posted 8 July, 2011 Interesting also as none of the Umbro templates other than the Bilbao / Livingston / Ireland away style even have a significant contrast colour (or third colour, assuming it's predominantly red and white) on the sleeve, so I'm not sure how that would work. The new Rangers home has a contrast flash up near the shoulder at the seam with the arm, but it's not really like the Burley / Bale flybe kit which had a large chunk of black all the way down the sleeve. Aside from the piping on the Hearts away / Ireland home mock up directly above, there's not much third colour anywhere and a lot of the styles don't even have a second colour... Black collar seems likely then, but the away being "like Brazil" just means "yellow" to me, I'm not expecting a big pointless green bar on it ! Did a few mock ups of Umbro styles similar to older Brazil kits earlier in the thread. Well he didn't play for us but played against us so i showed him a picture and he said similar but it was hard to explain without him showing me the shirt, which he didnt have a photo of tho some lads did take photos of the shirt, so theres bound to be someone whos seen it other then marketing players and coaching staff etc.. but to be fair he said the shirt he likes the most is the away and apparently a few of the lads do because its not similar to any other shirt in the leagues plus the sports science team had a input on the away top so players kinda had a input on the fabric and stuff.
sammysaint Posted 8 July, 2011 Posted 8 July, 2011 I think thats worse.... from what got described to me this is the most likely one but with slightly less black..
Mozz Posted 8 July, 2011 Posted 8 July, 2011 One thing that did spring to mind (although incredibly unlikely) is some sort of reversible home shirt with a black and red effort underneath. The black and red "stars in stripes" advert has really got me scratching my head as if the chosen colours of the adverts have significance then it presents a different two colour scheme to the red/white & white/red adverts. The thought of a black/red away shirt comes to mind but would seem to be removed by the black/red advert specifically referring to the "home kit" (and having just had a black kit). Whilst a reversible wouldn't be keeping with anything Umbro are doing it does tick the "inovative design elements" box. Rickie's comment of "This will definately appeal to all fans" could also (at a stretch) hint at this. Perhaps a different pattern (stripes and sash?) inside and out to satisfy everyone?
Gingeletiss Posted 8 July, 2011 Posted 8 July, 2011 Some black on this one using the Livingston model and the rumoured Cosmos collar. Also reintroduced the ad panel, as I'm pretty sure aap3 will use one : Yuk!
St Chalet Posted 8 July, 2011 Posted 8 July, 2011 Interesting, same style as the Hearts away with a different collar. Definitely a possibility. Love it, would just love it.
doggface Posted 8 July, 2011 Posted 8 July, 2011 It's horrid IMO and won't happen. IMO it will be stripes, there will be a fair bit of black on the trim on sleeves and neck line which will not have a raised collar. The away will be yellow & blue.
The9 Posted 8 July, 2011 Posted 8 July, 2011 Someone just mailed me this link saying its the new kit http://yfrog.com/z/kjq3rfaj Not believing that at all, but thought I should share. Glad you're not believing it, it's appallingly badly put together. Makes me laugh to think some people think even initial mock-ups would be that amateurish, even a designer's first draft if he even did it on paper would be more professional than that. Gecko put together his designs in less than a day and he actually designed Saints kits circa 2008. Even I can sling together mock ups which look better than that and I've got no design experience at all.
DrZuess1979 the 2nd Posted 9 July, 2011 Posted 9 July, 2011 50/50 on this tbh I like it but reminds me of the friends provident kit. And I hated that kit
deadpanmatt Posted 9 July, 2011 Posted 9 July, 2011 So many fan kits are better than the real thing. Bit frustrating. Maybe you should wait to see the real thing before making that judgement! Sheesh. It never ceases to amaze me how much time people seem to be wasting speculating.
benjii Posted 9 July, 2011 Posted 9 July, 2011 11 days to go, kit ******s!!! God, I am soooooooo excited. Off for a quick hand shandy.
benjii Posted 9 July, 2011 Posted 9 July, 2011 By the way, that mock-up is great. The 9 obviously doesn't have a clue about the visual arts.
Matthew Le God Posted 9 July, 2011 Posted 9 July, 2011 Where's this from? It is a photoshop of this 4 year old PSG Nike shirt. You can see both shirts have exactly the same creases and the changes on the sleeves, umbro badge, Saints badge and aap3 aren't well done.

Joneth Posted 9 July, 2011 Posted 9 July, 2011 Although this is a photoshop jobby, whats going on with that badge? Has been talk of changes to it.
Matthew Le God Posted 9 July, 2011 Posted 9 July, 2011 Whats going on with that badge? Has been talk of changes to it. Nothing in any way substantiated. Plus it is now officially the 2011/12 season and the club is back to using the badge it used before the anniversary on the website.
the stain Posted 9 July, 2011 Posted 9 July, 2011 Nothing in any way substantiated. A bit like the News of the World! LOL!

Just seems strange that someone has gone to the effort to mess around with the ball and the removing the flower. Probably nothing in it but then we won't know until the kit is released unless the club issue a statement saying 'the badge is definitely not changing'. Which isn't going to happen.

doggface Posted 9 July, 2011 Posted 9 July, 2011 Why is everyone so gullible, we are NOT changing the badge and none of the mock ups are real....lol
Hatch Posted 9 July, 2011 Posted 9 July, 2011 Why is everyone so gullible, we are NOT changing the badge and none of the mock ups are real....lol It's the mock ups that make this thread, for every one that is posted, which are just people chucking ideas around, some people go into meltdown.
Crab Lungs Posted 9 July, 2011 Posted 9 July, 2011 you never know True... but I get the feeling you do! (I'm guessing that you do, anyway!?)
View From The Top Posted 9 July, 2011 Posted 9 July, 2011 Why is everyone so gullible, we are NOT changing the badge and none of the mock ups are real....lol Because to some grown men it's really, really, really important. It's also the reason they are single.
redcoley Posted 10 July, 2011 Posted 10 July, 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. I had that kit as a nipper ( brins back happy memories ) the best kit design IMO with a proper large southampton badge !!
Window Cleaner Posted 10 July, 2011 Posted 10 July, 2011 I hope the little design on the front page of the OS (where it speaks of the new shirt) isn't supposed to be a clue. Red stripes and white stripes with thin red stripes within. From a distance it would look like we're playing in red and pink.Yukkk
deadpanmatt Posted 10 July, 2011 Posted 10 July, 2011 Because to some grown men it's really, really, really important. It's also the reason they are single. Oh come on, be fair. It's not the only reason.
doggface Posted 10 July, 2011 Posted 10 July, 2011 So stripes are thicker this year with white sleeves. Possibly black running down the sleeves and black collar? Interesting
Saint_Mabes Posted 10 July, 2011 Posted 10 July, 2011 All i've heard from my friend who works at the club is that it is 'very nice', so that's good enough for me!
The9 Posted 11 July, 2011 Posted 11 July, 2011 I hope the little design on the front page of the OS (where it speaks of the new shirt) isn't supposed to be a clue. Red stripes and white stripes with thin red stripes within. From a distance it would look like we're playing in red and pink.Yukkk I mocked most of these kind of options up on page 30 or thereabouts, some look nice and some look cack. And as you'll see, you're right about the pink effect. Meanwhile, here's yet another Umbro away kit with the shoulder template, Lille : and here's the second sighting of the sort-of Cosmos collar in the wild, after the Blackburn away kit :
Pilchards Posted 11 July, 2011 Posted 11 July, 2011 I hate the new kit! To prove you've seen it, what's the special thing they have done on the back?
Cricketphilly Posted 11 July, 2011 Posted 11 July, 2011 Have you seen it ? Don't need to, i'm being contrary.
ladysaint Posted 11 July, 2011 Posted 11 July, 2011 Not sure if this has been mentioned in this thread and cant be bothered to read all 26 pages, but have been told that it does have either images or ex players name on the shirt, must be along the lines of the ones Liverpool and Man U have done in the past, not sure how true this is but does go with the theme Stars in Stripes.

itchen_dan Posted 11 July, 2011 Posted 11 July, 2011 http://img.ly/674L New training kit... im pretty sure thats the same as last years but with the aap3 sponsor on it?
itchen_dan Posted 11 July, 2011 Posted 11 July, 2011 Surely the away kit will be revealed in next day or 2 as first game of pre-season is on Wednesday unless they just use last years away kit with a printed aap3 logo on it?
alehouseboys Posted 11 July, 2011 Posted 11 July, 2011 http://thesaintsfc.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=6658&page=2 Just stumbled across this Saints site and saw they've got their own kit thread going. Take a look at the home shirt mock-up in the second to last post...could that be close with a couple of alterations? Someone on here mentioned there was black on the top of the sleeves, if that red bit in the mock-up was changed to black (and maybe the collar) then maybe... All yellow for the away with blue shoulders?
