saintscottofthenortham Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 Missing the sash kit TBH. But then I would imagine the overall majority would have rathered the return of our traditional stripes, and yes MLG I do think our traditional colours are red and white stripes. This however is a pretty decent effort, it reminds me a little of athletico madrid, and I like that, although I won't be buying it (thinking about it I think I get a free one from this GSR thingy) Do we get our own kit individually styled by Umbro now ?? Or is it the same as any other teams ?? considering Atleticó Madrid get there kits inspiration from us, it's not suprising that it reminds you of their kit.
JackFrost Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 Quite nice, like the shirt. The shorts are a bit 1995
Saint Bones Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 Like it - There will be one heading down under. Hope Fonte brings thats face out with him every game !
Smirking_Saint Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 I said it would be just like Huddersfield so I will take all the money :-D Its nothing like Huddersfields, which has a collar for starters

latter day saint Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 i like it & the 15 or so people at work i showed it to gave it the thumbs up.

Saint 76er Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 This is a very nice kit, and well done to that arch fashion designer Mr Cortese for his alleged input! The extra white on the shirt gives it a brighter more modern visage and the red socks give balance to the overall appearance to counter the white. For those with a sleeve fetish don't forget that the NPC logo thingy will need to be applied and will go some way to offsetting the white. Am wondering if the players name will largely utilise the white patch at the top of the back view? This would make that area relevant and the name easier to see than set amongst stripes. Also is there some sort of embossed logo in the back white section perhaps? Best thing is that (AFAIK) this appears to be bespoke and I loved the fact that last year our kit was unique and not the same template as other clubs and hopefully once again we stand alone among the Umbro family. In which case full marks to NC for arranging this.
1976_Child Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 Solid 7/10. depends how the logo is stuck on. If it is woven in to the front then great. If it is another plastic sticker like the second Flybe shirt then poor. It is all in the logo.
dune Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 This would have been better, imho: Is that the crest of Islamabad United?
1976_Child Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 Is that the crest of Islamabad United? could be couldn't it. Or Constantinople Con men.
Colinjb Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 depends how the logo is stuck on. If it is woven in to the front then great. If it is another plastic sticker like the second Flybe shirt then poor. It is all in the logo. Looks to me from the video that the Saints shield and umbro logo are sewed in. The Aap3 logo is screen printed. Par for the course really. Just thank heavens it doesn't have a pointless collar. They really annoy me.

SaintRobbie Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 Like it! Back to stripes!!! We're Saints again not Peru!
Mozz Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 Am wondering if the players name will largely utilise the white patch at the top of the back view? This would make that area relevant and the name easier to see than set amongst stripes. That was my first thought but not convinced there's enough room to get a name in there.
dodgey75 Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 Nothing Special. Not worth all the hype it was given.
krissyboy31 Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 What hype??!! The kit was kept under wraps until it was launched. Any hype was with the fans trying to get a sneak preview or guessing what it was going to be like and to be fair, the snippets we got and the expertise of the photoshoppers on here were pretty damn accurate in the end. For the record I like it (generally) but am not keen on the "Cosmos" collar. I like the white sleeves, the yellow/gold umbro diamond and the way the sponsor's logo has been incorporated.
stanstubbs Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 if you have pre-oredered you should get it tomorrow we have just had 500+ in work they will be delivered by rm special delivery
doggface Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 What colour are the squad numbers? black I assume, can anyone confirm.
solentstars Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 defo sticker....i expect it will come of when its washed
krissyboy31 Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 Matt from UTS posted it on Twitter http://twitpic.com/5sxrk2
Mattio Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 I wouldn't say it's dodgy, but it does remind me of stokes kit the more I see it
View From The Top Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 According to my 9yo it's "mint". Dad is "meh" about it.
rocknrollman no2 Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 At first glace i dont like it,but maybe it looks better when you actually see it up close.I will with hold judgement until i take a trip to see it this Saturday.
SO16_Saint Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 At first glace i dont like it,but maybe it looks better when you actually see it up close.I will with hold judgement until i take a trip to see it this Saturday. It does look v good in the flesh. The back panel looks alright too
The9 Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 What colour are the squad numbers? black I assume, can anyone confirm. I can confirm they will be black, by virtue of the fact they won't be white or red as you won't be able to see them, and the only other colour the numbers come in is blue - which isn't anywhere else on the kit.
The9 Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 I wouldn't say it's dodgy, but it does remind me of stokes kit the more I see it Looks like Sunderland in about 2002 to me - rear view anyway.
djharvey Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 if you have pre-oredered you should get it tomorrow we have just had 500+ in work they will be delivered by rm special delivery How's the survival skills comin along?
harwellsaint Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 (edited) Like it, least your look like proper scummers again instead of Cher leader pussy's. you could count on one over weight gypo to **** that line up, what happened , did your sixth and seventh fingers on your right hand tap the wrong keys?

Ohio Saint Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 At the risk of appearing racist....It's too white.
deadpanmatt Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 Anyone got any pictures of the back of the shirt? I don't fancy paying £3.99 for the player to see it.
Supersubpuckett Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 As my 8 yr old said - Is that it?! Underwhelming and the red socks remind me of relegation - would have prefered white socks.
SO16_Saint Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 Why don't you take it out of the bag? It's complicated. The situation, not getting it out of the bag...!
Colinjb Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 Photos are a bit blurry as shirt in a bag but hope you can see the detail. Didn't get pic of back Arrived in the post?
dune Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 It's complicated. The situation, not getting it out of the bag...! Perhaps if you explain the difficulty we will be able to come up with a solution...
The Kraken Posted 20 July, 2011 Posted 20 July, 2011 That looks tackier. Is it really expensive to have a sponsor name as part of the kit material? I have a fee foreign kits with a sponsor logo in a different colour just encorporated into the shirt material, no stuck on panel or rubbery writing. Really hoped we'd avoid it this year. Nowhere near as bad as the flybee but still a bit sh*t. Agree completely. Having a white portion of shirt and a not-quite-white sticker over the top of it just looks utterly cheapskate. Why can't the sponsor just be integrated into the kit design? It's not as if there's a need to print a load of sponsor-free shirts, surely?
