Chin Strain Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 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. I know, I know....what was I thinking? It's been a long week and I have a beer in hand...must do better in future!
The9 Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 Looked as though it had the grey bomb mesh around it. Maybe its just the lighting / me then Just the current ground.
Colinjb Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 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. There was some negative reaction to the Sash, but not this much.
Saint J 77 Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 Is this real or a clever piece of photoshop? If real where did you get hold of a top from already?
buctootim Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 Is this you Trousers? Mrs C said you had a 'kind' face.... Thats girl code for "I wouldn't"
Saint Billy Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 What have you done agent trousers, your cover is now blown.
St Chalet Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 Indifferent, and will reserve judgement until I see it in the flesh.
Crazy Diamond Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 I'm trying not to make a big deal out of it but no, I don't like it and won't be buying it.
The9 Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 Try that again... https://p.twimg.com/AwkxyLcCMAEthXJ.jpg Needed the / before the final img.
sussexsaint Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 (edited) Have we "done a Cardiff"? Although as we were a red and white team anyway, a change to all red isn't quite as dramatic. Note Japan international Tadanari Lee as the key figure in the home shirt promotional photo... Lallana is kicking the ball off Lees knob Edited 29 June, 2012 by sussexsaint
S-Clarke Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 It's not trousers, it's the saints fan off of Soccer Am.
buctootim Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 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. I'm pretty distressed that his skirting board appears to be made of white tiles and both the picture and wall light are out of scale with the room. Kind face though.
Chin Strain Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 (edited) The carpet is a bit of a shocker....and it looks like someone could do with getting a paintbrush on the skirting boards TBH Edited 29 June, 2012 by Chin Strain
Leslie Charteris Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 Now here's a proper home kit... ...but I guess, as has been pointed out, the club is looking for a new image for a new era. There are media pressures, too. How many times last season did you hear a TV commentator say something like "Oh, those names are almost impossible to read against the stripes." If next season is successful, I don't expect the kit will be an issue.
S-Clarke Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 Llama is kicking the ball off Lees knob That's Jay Rodriguez I think.
COMEONYOUREDS Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 Ok the kits are pretty poor, and everyone's entitled to their opinion. However, some of the comments on this thread are simply pathetic. Grown men throwing their toys out of the pram over the wrong type of stripes and the wrong colour shorts. You need to get a life
Griffo Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 That isn't him you idiots. That's Chris Nutbean off Soccer AM I believe.
Badger Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 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. Mods, this demands a poll.
Matthew Le God Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 Llama is kicking the ball off Lees knob That is Rodriguez, not Lallana.
Colinjb Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 For the first time in recent memory, no I won't be rushing to buy it.
Chin Strain Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 Can we have a 'it's ok but not quite the Saints kits that we've been used to over the last 40 or so years (which, normally have been red and white stripes....)' answer?
dune Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 We are the new Nottingham Forest. I hate it. And it's cheap and nasty to boot. IMO the worst kit we have ever had.
Thedelldays Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 Can we have a 'it's ok but not quite the Saints kits that we've been used to over the last 40 or so years (which, normally have been red and white stripes....)' answer? just watch the clip on saintsTV. we have had the sash, full red kit, stripes (more so) a half and half type of kit.... this is just another slightly different kit to the non stripe design
Frank's cousin Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 You should call yourself 'Jeans' The carpet is a bit of a shocker....and it looks like you could do with getting a paintbrush on the skirting boards TBH;) Also his thumb is in a strange position - but is it a kind thumb? Mrs C who likes to think she knows a thing or two about design... does feel that the waves in carpet need sorting pronto Trousers
CityRanger Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 Ok the kits are pretty poor, and everyone's entitled to their opinion. However, some of the comments on this thread are simply pathetic. Grown men throwing their toys out of the pram over the wrong type of stripes and the wrong colour shorts. You need to get a life So if we don't like the shorts changing colour we should keep it to ourselves? I think its a far more important issue than many, many things that have been discussed to death on here. Should certainly not be dismissed out of hand as you suggest.
sussexsaint Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 That's Jay Rodriguez I think. Dur, quite right, I haven't been to sleep for a week ( new baby not the kit excitement)
dune Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 I think this might be a cunning plan by Nicky. Give a brief to design the worst kit ever and then a whole new kit can be brought out in 12 months and everyone will say how much better it is and buy it.
Massimo Osti Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 Its S*IT and not a Saints kit. Saints play in stipes ????
Thedelldays Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 Its S*IT and not a Saints kit. Saints play in stipes ???? there have been many many many years we don't. 2 years ago being the last
Bearsy Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 Its S*IT and not a Saints kit. Saints play in stipes ???? The home shirt is a bit like SMS actually, i mean we have all red seats and just thin white stripes where the concourses are.
dune Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 Dont you like the all white one? No, it's just a negative of the horrible red one. Reminds me of that cheap and nasty friends provident one (only worse).
Frank's cousin Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 That isn't him you idiots. That's Chris Nutbean off Soccer AM I believe. Who is not who..you saying there is an imposter and Trousers is not who he say he is and its not his carpet?
dune Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 And to cap it all it's got that ghastly plastic ape3 logo on it.
Badger Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 We are the new Nottingham Forest. I hate it. And it's cheap and nasty to boot. IMO the worst kit we have ever had. It certainly rivals the mid 80's 'Steve Zodiac' and the Pony tick, although to be fair to Pony at least they attempted something akin to stripes. The away kit, just looks like some daft c^nt at UMbro or St Mary's forgot to "save" the design before submitting the template back.
Saint J 77 Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 Ok I voted "Is this really all we have to talk about?" but I was kind of prepared for this kit because of the ITK posters on here. Now I've seen it on the players, especially the shot of Tandari Lee I think it looks ok and that I will grow to like it. The main problem with the design (apart from not being red and white stripes ) for me is the heavy white outline on the aap3 logo. If it was a little less heavy outline stroke it would look better I think.
Chin Strain Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 just watch the clip on saintsTV. we have had the sash, full red kit, stripes (more so) a half and half type of kit.... this is just another slightly different kit to the non stripe design According to this http://www.the-football-club.com/southampton-kits.html we have had what can only be described as red and white stripes in the 116 years since 1896, with the possible exception of 1985-1989 and maybe 81-83 (and clearly 2010/11) - 107 years of red and white stripes. Since 1950 we've had black shorts in all but 2010/11. 61 years out of 62. That's why I say it's ok, but not quite Saints. That's it really.
St BATman Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 I like both kits, especially the away one but I'm not sure that they represent the saints brand. If the whole stadium has alternating home and away kits like the promo shot it would look awesome. (Not volunteering to coordinate that)
Dan Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 Disgusting, worst saints kit I have ever seen. I blame Cortese.
dune Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 It certainly rivals the mid 80's 'Steve Zodiac' and the Pony tick, although to be fair to Pony at least they attempted something akin to stripes. The away kit, just looks like some daft c^nt at UMbro or St Mary's forgot to "save" the design before submitting the template back. I liked the pony kit, it was different and was the MLT shirt. This one is just awful and not a Saints shirt. It's just like a forest shirt and even the old Liverpool shirts (the crown paints ones) from the 80's (spit).
Minty Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 I love it. The comments on this thread that is. Who would've known some coloured fabric could arouse such emotions. I quite like both kits too btw, not that it matters.
Chin Strain Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 there have been many many many years we don't. 2 years ago being the last 9 years out of 116...
ponto1963 Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 Have we "done a Cardiff"? Although as we were a red and white team anyway, a change to all red isn't quite as dramatic. Note Japan international Tadanari Lee as the key figure in the home shirt promotional photo... WHERE'S THE WHITE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry really do not like this kit :-( odd to say the away kit is ok though. ??????
dronskisaint Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 I like it - it oozes Premier League class...prefer the away shirt but wtf is there to moan about?!
eurosaint Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 Do not like it at all ! I can just picture David Fairclough in my mind, maybe we should sign a ging err to make it look authentic ? Kitson, any one ??? Booo.......
