Cahill asked me waht you thought of the new kit, don't know why but i shall pass this info on to him :/

 

Weird. I like the constituent parts even though they are a bit plain, but this season as part of the two kits we appear to have the choice of purchasing what basically amounts to plain black shorts, a plain yellow shirt, plain blue shorts and plain white socks. We look like a low rent Brazil ripoff which is a style that's been completely flogged to death by uninspired teams everywhere, and you can't even mix and match the home and away pieces, which will make for some ugly away combinations.

 

It's hardly inspiring, especially at £42 a SS shirt, £20 for shorts and £10 socks.

I cannot keep the old mini shirt up in my car, it just means I will have to drive down and back up without one in the car..... NC OUT!!!

 

NB I will be ok if we get 3 points, it will take the edge off the fact........hold on I will be fine your pill is kicking in!!

I'm looking forward to getting mine.... but unlike usual I am willing to bide my time. I cannot wear it casually because it's too gaudy and my finances are stretched at the moment so I am content to pick it up in a pay packet or two's time.

 

And for me to wait... says a lot. I cannot see too many of this shirt shifting.

Why not kill two birds with one stone then and buy a top you like and can wear to football and also one you can wear casually?

Because i'm a whore for merchandise and will buy the shirt at some point down the line to add to my collection.

 

I have enough casual t's to keep me going, but unlike last seasons black shirt and the navy/yellow creation the year before it's a bit too bright for me to consider wearing to my local in Cov or out in Hereford when I am with my better half.

Why would you wear a football shirt when you are taking your bird out anyway? I have never understood this.

Exactly, You can't get away with any old football shirt, and besides, I'm not talking about a night to a good restaurant, just going around town running errands.

You cant get away with ANY football shirt IMO if you are over 10 years old. It looks awful. The look in the summer is usually complete with 3/4 length shorts and nasty trainers with socks or cheap jeans in the autumn/spring.

 

 

Seriously, when your going out, be it down the local or into town or wherever and you've not been sure what to wear, has your bird ever said "you know what, wear your saints shirt, you look great in it"

No, never. But I enjoy wearing my shirts.

 

I can accept that not everyone would wish to wear them in that way, can you accept that others would?

I only wear my shirt to games, around the house, and if I am playing sports. I do not wear it out and about, but it is still better to wear a football shirt than walking around a high street in a town centre, or any other public place in sunny weather with your t-shirt off and tucked into your jeans/shorts. What are people thinking??!! IT IS A PUBLIC PLACE FFS!!!

I cant understand why other would, but accept it, sadly. Tis a sad fact that 90% of English people dont have a clue how to dress.

 

Classic example the other day i was in town and there were a couple who looked like they were out for the evening together, late 30's. She was quite a tidy piece, kept herself in shape, well turned out and had obviously made a bit of an effort. Hair and make up nicely done, nice out fit on etc. Him on the other hand had a great big beer gut, sh*t hair cut, and was wearing one of those £4.99 fake England shirts from somewhere like Sports Direct, you know the ones, White with England written in Red across the front. Together with a pair of Lonsdale tracksuit bottoms and Reebok Classics. Seriously, i bet she cant bare the thought of the bloke trying to stick his rod in her of a night. The thought of his love glue squirting into her slot must repulse her, if it doesn't then she is clearly deeply insecure and thinks he is the best she can get.

You wouldn't catch me wearing a football shirt when not going to a match or training or just slobbing about the house, if it makes you feel better. Definitely not for "casually out and about being seen in public on non-match days" wear.

Couldn't agree more. Everytime I see any adult in any football shirt I can't help thinking pleb, you should be ashamed thoroughly of yourself.

You too. How the **** can what other people are wearing really affect your thinking in any way, shape or form?

 

The only exceptions are if the person is wearing a pompey shirt, or if said person is a woman. Only then can anyone have an excuse.

 

For the record, I don't wear football shirts casually. Never have done and never will. But why people get so uppety about it I'll never know.

 

'Spose you guys might be fashion designers or summat? Or perhaps just a little insecure?

Not insecure, uppity & most deffinatley doesn't affect my mood, just think it should be kept to matches which nobody should have a problem with (I know they do). Just personal taste like, no offence intended.

Surely this proves that no matter what you look like you can still pull a decent bird?

 

If you have to look and dress nice to get the woman maybe you are missing something else...personality or something?

It's called taking a bit of pride in your appearance. I couldn't go out dressed like that, i'd feel ashamed of myself. I know some people have no pride in themselves. Fat c*nts for example that rub their bellies and laugh whilst proclaiming loudly that it is "all bought and paid for". Personally that sort of lifestyle choice is not for me.

Just for a laugh, probably worth mentioning that I now own the yellow shirt. Got a short sleeve as the LS ones aren't in yet. Still majorly "meh" about it, but quite enjoyed the game of "beat the clock" endured to get the transaction done and out of the car park in time. Shop was completely empty, staff were idling like they got commission for making people wait and it STILL took 12 minutes.

 

So, in a Turkish stylee, thanks to Super Nicky C for enhancing my enjoyment of purchasing something in the Megastore by making it so bloody impossible to casually browse and consider buying anything else, but the excitement of getting out of there for free and sticking one up the petty rulemakers was great.

 

And yeah, I am aware that I just gave them £42 for the privilege. Well, the wife did.

*I* didn't, actually. But I was going to get it at some point if only to add to the collection so it was either pay full price now or sit it out til April, and it looks like I might be going to a few aways conpared to last season, why not?

 

It's alright, nothing to get excited about bit equally nothing outright offensive about it.

You'd hate it if you had a pushy shop assistant trying to tell you something you didn't wany, by introducing parking charges he has made for fast & efficent self service, no ambling around making a pest of yourself. Well done Nicky C for this fantastic piece of customer service and improving our time management skills, which are always useful to have in any walk of life.

There's quite a range of customer experiences between the pushy sales assistants Saints have never had, and my experience of standing at the till for 2 minutes before any of the staff even notices you might want serving, and even then you have to go and ask - and even then the guy took about 30 seconds to scan each thing. Maybe next time I'll do the old "set off the alarms" stunt and see how quickly I get their attention then.

Having had a nice close look at the shirt (and the shorts, which at £20 are staying in the shop) I can safely say that I like the yellow panels which correspond to those on the Rangers home shirt :

...but I think the kit generally would look significantly better if they'd made them blue, or even red.

That's fantastic. They took time to allow you to make sure you were happy with your purchases and made the all ones the needed, nothing worse than being served quickly, rushed through little a pig on the way to the guillotine and realising you have forgotten something is there.

 

I am so glad the check out guy was careful and dilligent in checking the items as he scanned it, making sure there was no error, be careful and get it right first time round is a much more satifcatory customer experience dont you agree?

 

Polite ripple of applause for Cortese for ecouraging such thoughtful staff.
