stu0x Posted 25 May, 2012 Share Posted 25 May, 2012 What are you on about? Sorry, it was a bit obtuse. I'll make it more clear. Essentially my point was that, particularly over the last few months, you have developed into a bit of a professional arsehole with a spectacularly patronising holier-than-thou opinion on just about everything. Whatever the topic, be it people's opinions on what they wear to a match, what they wear to the office, how they conduct themselves, or what they think about various aspects of the club, you will invariably pop up and preach at length in a sneering, condescending tone and imply that anyone who doesn't meet your own quasi-elistist standards is a subhuman peasant. OH MY GOD SOMEONE TOOK A PHOTO OF THEMSELF ON HOLIDAY??? THEY DON'T DESERVE TO LIVE!!!! So I found it ironic that someone with such a (albeit, ill-judged) massive superiority complex would choose to go on holiday to two places where you are obviously going to be largely surrounded by people of such low class and ethics. It's almost as if you're completely full of ****... but that can't be right, can it? Alles klaar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is sadder?the ones getting excited about it, or the ones claiming to be ITK about it? Definitely the saddest is the people who feel they have to come up with put downs to people discussing something that they think is sad. That really is bottom of the barrel stuff. Whats the point? I dont give a **** about pedigree cat grooming or IT fixes so don't comment on those threads. It says something not especially complimentary about you that you need to put down so many people on so many threads (and it aint how witty, cool or knowing you are) - especially when you are both well capable of interesting stuff when you drop the chippy crap.

Turkish Posted 25 May, 2012 Share Posted 25 May, 2012 You know what I find sad? The ones who take Internet forums so seriously they feel the need to attempt to correct every bit of banter and p*ss taking. Or the ones who thump their keyboards in anger, Veins popping out of their temples as they angrily tell someone just what they think of them, people like stu whats his name, who until today had never even registered on my radar, much like yourself until a couple of moths ago Timothy.

It's rarely the same time every year, we almost always got an "end of season" kit launch with Lowe, nowadays nothing happens until July, and the two under Cortese so far happened in completely different ways and at different times. Last year's away kit went on sale in the week before the first match, which is extremely late by any standards - though at least it was before the season started, you've got to be rank amateurs to miss the start of the season with it.

doggface Posted 25 May, 2012 Share Posted 25 May, 2012 No connection, it is not the kit. I have seen the new home kit and have posted some bits elsewhere. Obviously I am not going to go down the same route as the Norwich fan and post any pictures or anything too specific online. Katalinic, if you have seen it come out and describe it ffs. pictures wouldnt be too wise perhaps (but you probably dont have anyway) you are hardly gonna get sent down for a description............ stop being a dirty tease and put it on the table lad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I have already said it is different to anything we had before and I am not sure whether the traditionalists will like it. I believe the club want it to be different so that all the "returning" fans can't simply wear their old striped kits from 2001-2009 which makes complete commercial sense.

The9 Posted 25 May, 2012 Share Posted 25 May, 2012 I've heard it's red with white pinstripes. Turkish said. It's a bit like the current Umbro Sweden kit template then.

Saint Billy Posted 25 May, 2012 Share Posted 25 May, 2012 55 year old here and I am always interested what the new kit is going to look like, I do not exactly shoot one off in my pants over it but I am nevertheless eager to see the kit design for next season. Pin stripe sounds good as personally I feel that the old fashioned stripes look dated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought kits were ment to be worn for 2 years! You are missing something. Every Umbro kit deal is a new kit every year and has been since 2007. When we signed our new deal in 2008 the club even told us we'd be getting a new home and away shirt every season for the next 5 years, and the only season to buck that trend was the close season when we were in administration. Flybe gave us a one year sponsorship extension, we were in no position to fork out for new kit up front, and as a result we played in the same home kit (the flybe Umbro one) for the first two seasons of the deal. Even then we got a new navy/yellow away kit to replace the charcoal grey one. At least that's my guesswork over why they'd put "2008/09" on a kit we actually wore until 2010. News of the deal is here : (signed by Chairman Leon Crouch apparently) http://www.footballshirtculture.com/sponsorship/southampton-sign-umbro-deal-until-2013.html though that particular link doesn't mention the "new kit every year". The Umbro deal runs out at the end of our forthcoming season, so we're guaranteed at least 2 new kits in 2013/4 as well, no matter who provides the kit then. FWIW it's not just Umbro who change kits every season, it's basically everyone now. New Liverpool, Chelsea, Man U and Arsenal kits are already out there for next season. Beats me why we're not following the lead of the top merchandising clubs... Edited 25 May, 2012 by The9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
