Hatch Posted 7 April, 2011 Posted 7 April, 2011 The club should just leave a sheet of paper and some crayons on each seat at the next home match. Entries then posted in a big box next to Teds statue. Then an online vote for the best effort via the club website.

ssaints Posted 7 April, 2011 Posted 7 April, 2011 I like that too especially if the logo and umbro badge where moved to the left and right.
hughieslastminutegoal Posted 7 April, 2011 Posted 7 April, 2011 Because I smell Not because you chew the nuts off everyone around you?
hughieslastminutegoal Posted 7 April, 2011 Posted 7 April, 2011 Only because we lost the toss. Is there one person on here who was at Wembley in 1976 who didn't wish we carried the cup around Wembley dressed in red and white stripes? We've often done well in yellow or its precursor, gold.

The9 Posted 7 April, 2011 Posted 7 April, 2011 Another heads up on new styles by Umbro for 2011/12 : Athletic Bilbao away would look interesting in yellow and blue :
Cestrian Saint Posted 7 April, 2011 Posted 7 April, 2011 Another heads up on new styles by Umbro for 2011/12 : Athletic Bilbao away would look interesting in yellow and blue : Swap the Green for Black and that would be a great away shirt!
Badger Posted 7 April, 2011 Posted 7 April, 2011 Swap the Green for Black and that would be a great away shirt! I suspect we will move away from a black away shirt next season.
Crab Lungs Posted 7 April, 2011 Posted 7 April, 2011 Another heads up on new styles by Umbro for 2011/12 : Athletic Bilbao away would look interesting in yellow and blue : Did you get the links I set you with new kit vectors....??? You might get some more ideas from there...
ponto1963 Posted 8 April, 2011 Posted 8 April, 2011 Bring back the Rank Xerox style kits. End of. Agreed, great Kit
Patrick Bateman Posted 8 April, 2011 Posted 8 April, 2011 What name are you getting on the back of your shirt next season? I thought "Tool". The kit doesn't add half a stone to the wearer: it's just that (apart from kids) it's generally fat losers that wear replica shirts. It's their fat that makes them look fat, not the shirt they're wearing. It's amusing that people still think they are a medium or a large and make their tubbyness more obvious. Is that why we keep selling out of Medium-sized shirts ? Because people are deluded about their size and kids buy them?
Katalinic Posted 8 April, 2011 Posted 8 April, 2011 I suspect we will move away from a black away shirt next season. It's yellow and blue in a Brazil style.
SFC Forever Posted 8 April, 2011 Posted 8 April, 2011 Would like to see our current shirt with black edging.
The9 Posted 8 April, 2011 Posted 8 April, 2011 I thought "Tool". It's amusing that people still think they are a medium or a large and make their tubbyness more obvious. Because people are deluded about their size and kids buy them? Why would kids buy medium shirts when they're basically the same size as an XLB which is about £10 cheaper ? We do up to an XXXL, for the record, and we've always got loads of those left at the end of the season.
The9 Posted 8 April, 2011 Posted 8 April, 2011 That's facking spazz. It would look better with the plain stripes and a black collar, wouldn't look like Sunderland, and it's exactly the same material, shape and stitching for the body/sleeves as the current home shirt which is the most popular ever. Something plain will be hugely popular, as this season's sales prove. Back when he was actually designing Saints kits for real, I seem to recall Gecko telling me that yellow shirts don't sell very well, probably because we've had so many of them. But they're both only for one season anyway.
The9 Posted 8 April, 2011 Posted 8 April, 2011 Did you get the links I set you with new kit vectors....??? You might get some more ideas from there... Yeah, downloaded loads, might bother to mess about with it, might not... ta though.
Crab Lungs Posted 8 April, 2011 Posted 8 April, 2011 Yeah, downloaded loads, might bother to mess about with it, might not... ta though. Lol, likewise. Hundreds (possibly in the thousands) of templates...
The9 Posted 8 April, 2011 Posted 8 April, 2011 Lol, likewise. Hundreds (possibly in the thousands) of templates... Well, I figured if I stick to the 6 or so that might feasibly be used (new since 2009, not bog standard teamwear kits) it should be a lot easier to do something... as you can see above.
SuperMikey Posted 8 April, 2011 Posted 8 April, 2011 Does it look better now ? Change it to a white collar and you've got a deal.
The9 Posted 8 April, 2011 Posted 8 April, 2011 (edited) Change it to a white collar and you've got a deal. Don' wanna. Edited 8 April, 2011 by The9 Oh alright then, below...

I get a distinct 91/92 feel about that shirt! Howabout a nice blue/white smattered away to complete the set
The9 Posted 8 April, 2011 Posted 8 April, 2011 I get a distinct 91/92 feel about that shirt! Howabout a nice blue/white smattered away to complete the set Hm, no contrast black stripes and no hideous cheap jacquard weave, but I see what you mean. I'm not giving you a horrible away version ! I've done a white collar (looks crap) and I'm going to flip the stripes to a red central one. Already toned down the black around the badge, which is a bit dark. I'll stick them up here in a few mins.
The9 Posted 8 April, 2011 Posted 8 April, 2011 Okay, here goes. 1) Like the "original" as above : White centre stripe, Black collar, but without the black edging on badge. 2) Red centre stripe, black collar. (This one is a bit "Sanderson broad stripes") 3) White centre stripe, White collar. NB These are just designs based on last season's Rangers away shirt, which happened to be red and white stripes. Assume nothing.

The9 Posted 8 April, 2011 Posted 8 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. Just for the record, that two colour sash style in red and black (or navy) was Man City's away kit in 1972/3 and 2002/3. Then in 2009, the exact same "two-tone" sash over the same shoulder was their away kit - the season before we got our single colour sash. Having worn it plenty of times for a year before we had it, Man City moved it to be their 3rd kit this season and changed the shorts and socks. So if they "copied us" they did it via use of a time machine.
The9 Posted 8 April, 2011 Posted 8 April, 2011 (edited) Last one for me.... That one looks like a Stoke kit to me. Specifically the one they had circa 1994 with "Carling" on the front of it. Or Sunderland's Play-Off Season home kit from 1998. Edited 8 April, 2011 by The9
South Londoner Posted 8 April, 2011 Posted 8 April, 2011 (edited) The middle one for me. Good effort, The9 by the way. Edited 8 April, 2011 by South Londoner Typo

Gotta have a white collar if any imo, Like it on the current home shirt and hate what they did with the away shirt which reminds me of the top half of a set of pyjamas...
The9 Posted 8 April, 2011 Posted 8 April, 2011 The middle one for me. Good effort, The9 by the way. Cheers, it's not difficult when you've got a load of templates created by someone else and all you have to do is a bit of colour switching and cut and paste with logos.

I hate the away kit too, only just bought one for fear of us selling them all when they went 25% off. Maybe surprisingly we don't have a white collar much any more. The UEFA Cup kit collar (round neck) was mostly white, before that the thin-striped Sanderson Pony kit had the striped red/white collar, and before THAT it was the "Denmark" kit (V-neck in white with black) and the classic broad striped Patrick collared kit which was mostly white with lots of red/black trim. Historically it's already been red, white or both, but nothing like as often since we introduced black to the kit with Patrick in 1980.

I would settle for a little collar like the current england shirt. In fact Id take that shirt style completely. Just don't want the appauling round collarless style of our away shirt. Theres a challenge, Knock up a saints shirt to that template if you're bored having left work at 3

Alright then, pretty sure I've got it here somewhere.
eurosaint Posted 8 April, 2011 Posted 8 April, 2011 The wonders of flexi saw me log off at 3pm. Ok, I'll believe you ! BTW, Like the shirt with the black collar, white ones should be reserved for priests and vicars !!
The9 Posted 8 April, 2011 Posted 8 April, 2011 (edited) Uses the current England collar but I've taken the liberty of removing the crappy little multicoloured crosses from the inner lining... which is why there's a tiny little gap at the top of the collar... Edited 8 April, 2011 by The9
Village Saint Posted 8 April, 2011 Posted 8 April, 2011 That would be Milan and Inter who both wore white shirts for 20 years in the 1920s ? And Real Madrid who started off wearing a kit with a blue sash ? All teams have worn different shirts if not outright different colours - Barcelona have always had the same colours but started off in halved shirts not stripes too. And as for "a pale imitation of Crystal Palace", is that the Crystal Palace who've only worn a white kit with a diagonal on it for 11 years in the 1970s/80s and once in 2008, otherwise wearing claret and sky blue / white and black / white and claret/sky blue / red and blue stripes for the other 95 years of their history? Add to that that the diagonal doesn't even go the same way, either, never mind it being two colours. We don't look anything like ANY Crystal Palace kit. I'm not bothered whether we go back to stripes or not (though we clearly will), but let's not fabricate some nonsense about teams never changing their kits to try and justify it, especially in an age when teams change the fundamental design every season for financial reasons. Thanks for providing such good evidence to back up my arguments. As you point out AC and Inter haven't changed their kit for nearly a century!! Barcelona never and Real Madrid never fundamentally. And that is the point. All these teams have a fundamental confidence in their image. Of course in the modern era they have tinkered just as Saints have done (and actually whilst the raspberry ripple and the penguin outfits weren't too clever they were stripes!) but fundamentally their kit is unchanged and so should ours be. And whilst yes our temporary kit does very much look like that Palace kit, it is good to know that even they abandoned it eventually.

And whilst yes our temporary kit does very much look like that Palace kit, it is good to know that even they abandoned it eventually. Barcelona weren't wearing stripes as recently as 2009, and have completely changed the colour of their shorts between three different main colours repeatedly over the past 15 years - this season they've got burgundy shorts for the first time I can remember. Like Barca's adherence to two main colours, Saints have always worn some combination red and white, in which case, what's the difference if we decide to wear red and white halves, a sash, stripes, or quarters, all of which are in the club's history already ?
The9 Posted 8 April, 2011 Posted 8 April, 2011 Black collar for me.....hides the dirt In the England style...
beatlesaint Posted 8 April, 2011 Posted 8 April, 2011 In the England style... either of those would do for me
Right sider Posted 8 April, 2011 Posted 8 April, 2011 In the England style... Like the left one, and was wondering what that would be like with plain white sleeves, bit like late 70's kit.
