New Kits 2012-13

[wireframebox]

 

Are the people in the back rows just generic faces? If not, who's stood behind Jack Cork and Danny Fox?..

 

...I think that might be Ali Dia 4th behind Jose Fonte!?...

behind cork is steve bennet.. the pitch announcer person

[lobbster]

What.the.feck.

They're club employees. I think they're pretty much all there. Announcer, presenter, members of media team etc.

[The9]

We didn't have a standard red and white striped kit for the entire 1980's. Which included the most successful period in the clubs league history.

 

We are all aware of that, but as I posted a few days ago, I'm knocking 40 and as an adult I've only seen Saints not playing in stripes at home in the sash season, so you have to expect a bit of backlash.

[hypochondriac]

TBH I don't like it but it's only a kit for a season so I'm not going to lose any sleep about it.

Oh Christ you're right.

 

Sorry but I think that's a poor idea and it's not a kit I'll be buying. Very disappointing - I'm just glad I didn't hype the whole thing up unlike hundreds of others. If I had, I'd be suicidal right about now.

[ART]

Let's face it. The Saints that most of us have known all our lives died in 2005. We are now in a new age, with a new Saints created in the image and dreams of Liebherr and Cortese. Can anyone not support their dream, their achievements?

 

The team is dead, long live the team. Into the future and put the past to rest.

[The9]

Is Kelvin wearing skins this season for us then?

 

See about 4 pages ago.

Good point, who cares?!

[Matthew Le God]

Why only include your adult years? So as a child you would have grown up starting to love Saints and they didn't play in stripes. It was only as an adult that they started to again.

[Badger]

Is this thread to alert us to the fact the kit has been released (and is therefore "out"), or a campaign to get rid of it ("out") as it is so awful ?

I think Tommy Fourpast is in the 12th row on the left. I was going to mention Rudi Skacel but thought better of it.

[saint si]

Try that again...

Well that saves price of 3 kits for this year.

 

HATE the strip we are red AND white not red!!!!!

 

And yet we've never sang 'come on you whites'.

 

Not that I don't agree with you by the way, but just pointing that out.

[doubleonothing]

Is Kelvin wearing skins this season for us then?

 

He's in the video on Saints player now, but you only see his head and a sleeve in another shot as he is behind someone else.

 

Looks like a black keepers kit (possibly)

[Frank's cousin]

Is Kelvin wearing skins this season for us then?

 

He will be going completey commando, trialling a new patent protected third 'glove' which featers a single 'finger' and pouch - the EPL have approved this as with new Goal line technology, there shjould be no confusion when the balls cross the line.

 

Kelvin was heard to comment ' will take some getting used to, but I guess some fans will love it, some hate it, and I may fee devensively a little 'exposed' untill we sign a new CB, but I heard that we could only get Ramos if we played in red so should be worth it'

[doubleonothing]

Still no word on the back of the shirt. Really really hoping it's not plain!!!!

[suewhistle]

What's the goalkeeper's top like, now that my team make me play in goal sometime?

[The9]

It does make you wonder.

[lobbster]

This

 

Rubbish

[sebastian firefly]

Not bad as far as kit's go but that in no way represents Southampton FC. Bit of a shame really. It would have been ok with black shorts and white socks...

I wasn't a Saints fan until I first moved to Southampton aged 18. Why labour the point ? The non-striped shirts are massively in the minority anyway.

[Colinjb]

Positives: The away shirt is alright.

 

Negatives: Everything else.

[buctootim]

Notice the new / extended / revamped SMS is in the background. That indicates more intent than simply floating a possibility.

[The9]

It will be plain coloured with shadow stripes, like the Blackburn keeper's shirt I linked about 6 pages back.

[Chin Strain]

We didn't have a standard red and white striped kit for the entire 1980's. Which included the most successful period in the clubs league history.

 

OK, thanks.....I think we may have had one mainly red shirt with white sleeves, but still had black shorts (I think). This is a much, much bigger departure from that....or don't you agree?

[S-Clarke]

I don't know what the big fuss is about to be honest. It's not vile, it's not a travesty and it's not going against our tradition.

 

It's a football kit, which actually looks quite smart. It's a change and we all know that typical human beings don't like change, personally I think it's to be embraced. Pretty refreshing, not bad a tall.

[The9]

Still no word on the back of the shirt. Really really hoping it's not plain!!!!

 

The home shirt isn't plain on the back.

[buctootim]

 

That carpet is a disgrace.

[doubleonothing]

The home shirt isn't plain on the back.

 

Good.

 

Any word on the away?

[The9]

Step awaaaaaaaay from the endless pedantic nitpicking argument you're about to get drawn into. The broad point that we usually play in stripes is completely relevant.

[lobbster]

The more i look at it the worse it gets.

[sussexsaint]

I love the promotional campaign , lots of lee who I am sure will be significant for us next year and the stripes poster is epic. THe team need everyone at SMS behind them to do their jobs. A real sign of unity that would have some to the near east very jealous indeed.

 

Shocked when I saw it initially but it's growing on me, and we don't seem to keep kits very long anyway. At least we won't look identical to stoke

[S-Clarke]

Notice the new / extended / revamped SMS is in the background. That indicates more intent than simply floating a possibility.

 

Looks like the current SMS to me? Unless i'm not looking at the right pic.

[Frank's cousin]

Is this you Trousers?

 

Buctoo is right about the carpet , but Mrs C said you had a 'kind' face....

[The9]

Good.

 

Any word on the away?

 

No, cos I haven't seen any unofficial pics of that one where you can see the seam at the bottom of the back with pinstripes on it.

[dellboypete]

not stripey enough for me

[Colinjb]

So, using the democratic medium of polling, what do we think of the kit?

Edited 29 June, 2012 by Colinjb

[Give it to Ron]

No its rubbish

[trousers]

It's only a football kit ergo it's fine

[BILLY]

I think the gk kit looks all black on the vid

[The9]

Yup, there we go, Blackburn's 2013 GK shirt is the same as the Norway one (though not the one they wore against England recently):

 

 

We'll probably have that style, depends what colours they have in it.

 

Here's the possible keeper kit for those who wanted to see. Maybe different colour, definitely won't have a Blackburn badge on it.

[S-Clarke]

It's fine, but it's change, which is why people will react. It's human nature, no one likes change, but it happens to all of us.

[buctootim]

Looked as though it had the grey bomb mesh around it. Maybe its just the lighting / me then

[The9]

Black version of the above then (plus another one for the home/away).

[Frank's cousin]

So what do we think of Trouser's carpet then? Too much Blue? bad fitting? This is the real Story and one that we shoudl be focussing pour attention on. Man up the the real issue boys and girls.
