xerox Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 bad collar, bad socks, does not look like a saints kits for some reason, maybe the white sleeves, but i liked some of the mock-ups with white sleeves so will wait till i see it in the flesh, also would have liked to revert to navy blue shorts (much darker than ath madrid) which would make it different from any other kit out there. for the away kit i would like to keep the sash, pref navy blue shirt w/yellow sash, yellow shorts, navy blue socks with yellow tops
Saint J 77 Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 Looks like its only for this season as the OS says its the 2011/2012 kit. So is this the end of having a kit design that last for two season?
sotonianproud Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 Shorts are black, have paused it on every frame to check
Saint-scooby Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 White sleeves & no collar mmmmmm, I guess there is a reason for that, 8/10 . Nice to see the stripes back, good for hiding a fat belly.
K,Billy's supersound Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 my first reaction was yuk , dont like it atall horrible collar and all white sleeves are not a good idea its ok 5/10 but i wont be buying it if the away shirt is beeter than i'll buy that instead or just stick with the sash for another season.

Dog Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 When is the new kit out, is it today or tomorrow or friday? Hope it's lovely.
Cascadia Saint Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 Looks great to me, short sleeve version looks better IMO. Now, how the hell can I find last years bloody kit in a size smaller than XXXXL?
Dimond Geezer Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 I'm not that fussed either way. I can't understand why people get so emotive about it. It's a football shirt, nothing more, nothing less.
Nexstar Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 I like it and think it will grow on me even more. Bg fan of the way they've done the sponsorship as it's not too intrusive. Looking forward to the away kit now too
Colinjb Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 Love it, absolutely love it. Best striped shirt we've had since 03-05.
Dog Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 Love it, absolutely love it. Best striped shirt we've had since 03-05. Excellent, I'll get one now, thanks Colin, you have made me happy.
Colinjb Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 As I said in the other thread, love it. Best stripped shirt since 03-05 for me.
niceandfriendly Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 I'm not that fussed either way. I can't understand why people get so emotive about it. It's a football shirt, nothing more, nothing less. What makes me chuckle is how people are "underwhelmed". Wtf were they expecting a red and white striped football shirt to look like exactly? I think it's pretty nice and will probably buy one when the price comes down towards the end of the season.
Colinjb Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 Excellent, I'll get one now, thanks Colin, you have made me happy. I aim to please. Incidentally, the girl on the phone confirmed they are on sale in the shop tomorrow when I rang up to order.
Cestrian Saint Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 Not a bad effort Saints, a solid 7/10. Here is hoping the away kit is yellow and blue stripes I hope there's not a spot of blue on it. Blue is for that lot down the road. Yellow and Black would be far more suitable.
Dog Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2397143,00.html I'm off for a vvank!
Jones91 Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 Looks like its gone up to £47 from the £42 pre order price
TopGun Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 I'm not that fussed either way. I can't understand why people get so emotive about it. It's a football shirt, nothing more, nothing less. Agreed.
Saint Garrett Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 After watchuing the video, seems like the sponsor is 'stuck on'. that doesnt look too great, though cant really tell from that view. Looking forward to people's reactions tomorrow eh nthey have it in their hands.
saint_bert Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 Looks like its gone up to £47 from the £42 pre order price Thats the long sleeved shirt.
red&white56 Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 I may be a lone voice, but I loved the sash and would have prefered to keep it instead of going back to the red & white stripes.
North Wilts Saint Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 Should have kept the white shorts. White shorts are Stoke. Old skool, balck shorts and red socks - like those, not sure about shirt.
dune Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 It looks like a cheap bog standard effort. £47 for that. You'd have to be mad.
sfc4prem Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 Sooo much better than the last striped shirt we had by umbro. Personally I love it, but can understand people that don't yet. "overwhelmed" "underwhelmed" aren't great words to use, surely. What were you expecting???
Avenue Saint Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 Cheap and nasty. It'll sell well. Should be perfect then for you?
Matthew Le God Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 It looks like a cheap bog standard effort. £47 for that. You'd have to be mad. What were you expecting it to look like? Now, this is a cheap looking kit for 2011/12! Imagine the reaction on here if Umbro dished up that (along with the sponsor)!
dune Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 Should be perfect then for you? Indeed. I have distant relatives from shirley so i'm a bit of a tramp. It'll take me back to my roots.
dune Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 I hoped it would have a collar, but that said Nicola is smart and he's clearly targeting sales at those who live in council houses. A shrewd move.
Professor Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 White sleeves & no collar mmmmmm, I guess there is a reason for that, 8/10 . Nice to see the stripes back, good for hiding a fat belly. Which players are you talking about? I know Willo is back on the payroll but don't think he'll be in the team! Liked the kit, the extra white looks like a clever transition from the sash and the black shorts back to a Saints' tradition. PS. It wasn't entirely July weather in Interlaken!
The9 Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 It looks like a cheap bog standard effort. £47 for that. You'd have to be mad. Count me in with the mad then. I like the long sleeved better anyway, which is the only one that costs £47. The SS is still £42. Now paying £20 for a pair of plain black shorts with a Saints badge on and yellow/gold Umbro logo I'm not so sure about, though if they're lined I might get them to go with the now-almost-certain-to-be-yellow/gold/amber away shirt. I've already got the socks from buying Sunderland home socks from JJB in the sale last season, and I'm not forking out £10 for the benefit of having Umbro's 2011/12 grey feet on them. Rangers away are the same and still available at £1 a chuck on the JJB site, but only in kids' sizes.
Saints foreva Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 The Umbro badge looks awful on it, would look better if it was black.
The9 Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 So.... whose prediction/mock up came closest? B Rabbit did a mock up which was this shirt style with a non-outlined aap3 logo and a collar, I did a few mock ups with plain stripes, the original style Cosmos collar (not the newer one that we've got) and white sleeves. And all credit to Katalinic for his Cosmos collar comments back on page 2. Expect the away to be Brazil-like, and based on the colour scheme of the home kit, yellow or gold or amber/red/black. Anyone who said there was black on the arms wants shooting.
Pilchards Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 After watching the short video my marks of 7 has gone up to 9. really does look very nice, the back looks very good indeed, so happy with it now. Why does that photo shoot make it look crap!
BigShadow Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 Happy with that. Not sure about the umbro badge in yellow, but otherwise it looks pretty good to me.

SNSUN Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 I agree with some, the short sleeve looks good but not sure about the long sleeve. It hasn't immediately won me over like the sash but i'll give it time. I like how the aap3 logo looks like it's smiling!
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 I think it's a nice kit. I fail to see what people wanted? I think a lot of complaining just cos they can.
The9 Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 From 28th June : Here's the Blackburn kit. You can see similarities with the Cosmos collar, and this is the first photo of any other Umbro kit which has been released this close season showing that collar. So from what we heard long ago in this thread, I'd be inclined to say that's the collar Saints will have on the home kit. Although you can see they're not exactly the same, there's definitely a similarity. And here are the two closest mock-ups I could find from the early batch : There are some later ones which may be closer - I know I never got around to downloading a template with the new Cosmos collar so none of mine have it on there.
