The9 Posted 30 June, 2012 Share Posted 30 June, 2012 Close up of the home shirt. It's not one pinstripe, its two. The logo looks properly sh*t :lol: We know it's two, it's the same as Sweden's. For those saying "still red and white stripes", no actually it's red and grey and white stripes in that case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldNick Posted 30 June, 2012 Share Posted 30 June, 2012 it could be clever marketing of course, people are talking about it and so it gets exposure , also all those floating fans from Fareham etc might think it is indeed a Liverpool shirt and so buy one lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 30 June, 2012 Share Posted 30 June, 2012 One thing I will say is that the actual kit in that close up has the pinstripe colours the other way around to the "preview" pic I saw before launch, which had the grey stripe on the left (as you look at it) of the pair.

Dr Who? Posted 30 June, 2012 Share Posted 30 June, 2012 I like it. I will not get the white one as I seem to this way of making it turn grey after a few washes! The red one is very smart, and we have had a couple of all red kits in the past, one of them was durning our centenary season. Ok it had white shoulders, but it was not red and white stripes! Looking forward to seeing this kit on the pitch... COYR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a number of people bring this up, I don't think it'll be an issue. Red is the dominate colour on the Stoke City and Sunderland home shirts, I don't think a pretty much all white Saints away kit will clash with either. With Stoke having white shorts and socks, Saints can use the red home shorts/socks with the away shirt for the game at the Britannia Stadium and the all white kit at the Stadium of Light.

The Kraken Posted 30 June, 2012 Share Posted 30 June, 2012 When I'm "being me", I'm normally correct. You weren't. As an aside, I actually disagree with you point about us wearing the white kit at Stoke and Sunderland. There is actually a bit more red on the kit than just the pinstripes; the collars and sleeves are red, and the Umbro badge and potentially also the sponsor is red (can't properly tell from the photoshopped-to-hell picture but it seems it might be). There may also be a red trim on the sides, again can't really tell from the pics. That all added up, I'd be surprised if refs would go with it. But with no plans intimated for a 3rd kit I guess we'll see. But I would have thought your idea of wearing red shorts/socks would just increase the problem.

The Kraken Posted 30 June, 2012 Share Posted 30 June, 2012 Stoke's kit for this year: With the white shorts and socks, its neither heavily red nor white, its an even balance.

Saint Martini Posted 30 June, 2012 Share Posted 30 June, 2012 Not a fan at all. I liked the design for Sweden but it works much better with a lighter main colour and darker lines. I haven't seen any photos of the away shirt but I imagine I will like them a lot if they are white with thin red lines. I would have preferred that as our homeshirt with a totally different colour-scheme for our away shirt (Something similar to the Sweden kit for instance).

ant Posted 30 June, 2012 Share Posted 30 June, 2012 Walked past the West Quay store earlier. Shutters are still down for 'refurb' but you could see the new kit through them. The red is definitely more vibrant than in photos I've seen so far. No doubt here'll be even more moans from the stands as from a distance the pinstripes don't particularly stand out. Thought it was a shame that they've still got the 'Kit revealed 6pm, 29/6' posters up. Missing out on a lot of free promotion as the footfall through there will have been huge today. As for the kit itself, I like it. It's neither good enough to become 'us' permanently, nor bad enough to deserve such vitriol - apart from anything else there's definitely room for a bit of experimentation if keeping kits for just a year is the norm now. Umbro's material quality and tailoring has been top notch so far so hopefully this one matches up. Only thing I don't like is that the aap3 logo is printed on that crap plastic stuff again. No doubt it'll end up cracking and discolouring. At the end of the day I envy anybody that's got so little to moan about that this has shaken their world. Buy it if you like it, send a message the club by keeping your money in your pocket if you find it that abhorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 30 June, 2012 Share Posted 30 June, 2012 Going round in circles with every argument now. No it is not stripes, Liverpool didn't play in stripes in 1981. Yes we have worn non-striped kits before, for around 15% of our existence. Yes the sash kit wasn't striped - it was also an appropriate commemorative one-off 125 Kit based in actual club history. Yes we will need another kit at Stoke and possibly Sunderland (kit not released but far less white than Stoke usually). Shirts at West Quay store from 11am tomorrow, numbers printed outside M&S, but probably cheaper in JJB or SportsDirect anyway. Oh and also, yes people can get annoyed about the kit.

Dangermouth Posted 30 June, 2012 Share Posted 30 June, 2012 Agree: looks like a Sunday League kit; should have the black shorts and white socks; is a marketing ploy (see the big pic of T Lee? who is much more prominent than Rodriguez, among other things); is psychological. There was a study once (fwiw, probably not a lot) that said that teams that play in red are more successful than teams which play in other colours. On that basis, switch the red and white tops to improve our away form. Otherwise, don't care. Wouldn't buy it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 30 June, 2012 Share Posted 30 June, 2012 (edited) For those that think Saints can't wear a white away kit against Sunderland and Stoke... That was last year's kit though, why would you assume they weren't going to completely change the colour of their kit, I mean we have ? They've also changed manufacturer to adidas, so you can pretty much guarantee what their kit will look like now if they do stick to red/white with black shorts and red socks. The important bit will be the colour of the back of the shirts, because if it's predominantly white, we couldn't wear white, and we won't be able to wear red there anyway. We will either wear last season's yellow or a new (I'm guessing black) third kit, which knowing how crap they are at this stuff, they probably won't even sell. Will be interesting to see if we follow the Prem's rules and if the Prem website lists a third kit for us, as they'll have to announce it pre-season to meet their rules (see earlier in this thread).

JPTCount Posted 30 June, 2012 Share Posted 30 June, 2012 Blame the club, they won't let anyone else sell them. JJB and SportsDirect in West Quay, probably £10 for number and name. Also, Prem sleeved patches are £5 there, and you've ALWAYS had to pay extra. wow, u love correcting people, no need for the shouting, i heard the first person. and i thought it was an issue of us having our own kit supplier, and then not being premiership. Even so, it must be one of Lowe's business ideas, can't see NC sticking with it if he wants us to be a top side, or sell shirts in asia. I can't think of another club with high shirt sales that also have this policy. The online store feels old as **** too, and even opens in a pop up window, with that & only 2 physical places, both in soton, i can't see us getting the shirt sales up to the heights that NC wants the whole club.

The red is very prominent on Stoke and Sunderland kits. The blue is significant in that Bolton kit, whilst our options are red or white shorts. The Stoke kit is all white with some red stripes and using red shorts and socks with a white shirt clearly would not sort the problem. If we need a third shirt for ONE match, which we definitely do, then we may as well use it for another/others. There is CLEARLY a clash with Stoke which will necessitate some faffery, the wearing of away kits at home or a third kit. And I'm not even sure Stoke's blue/red is THAT much different from our red shirt either, though the blue shorts/socks help. You're also pretty confident we won't clash with a team that hasn't released their kit yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 30 June, 2012 Share Posted 30 June, 2012 Because its nothing like our kit. Ours has red over it; in various places. There really isn't that much red on the kit at all, certainly not enough to clash with the examples I posted. Games have gone ahead in the past with teams in slightly different shades of blue. Saints aren't releasing a 3rd kit, so what do you think is going to happen when we play Stoke and Sunderland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
