The9 Posted 1 July, 2012 Share Posted 1 July, 2012 Someone who works in the Megastore is a friend of a friend on Facebook and has just said they haven't released the numbers yet but they do have some inside info... I'm guessing they know Rodriguez is 9,the others are the same and that's about it! But that's guesswork on my part, he says buy a shirt and they'll tell you!

The9 Posted 1 July, 2012 Share Posted 1 July, 2012 Surely we need to know what colour underpants (sorry 'kecks' now we are scousers) need to be worn with the red shorts' date=' white or are they going for a cool black? [/quote'] You can tell you don't buy the shorts, the grundies are built in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 1 July, 2012 Share Posted 1 July, 2012 Quiet on here this morning - presumably everybody is queueing up to get their hands on the new shirts - or maybe it's just because it is Sunday!! People are in bed. No one will be queueing, I haven't seen a queue on launch day ever without some half baked event going on too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinjb Posted 1 July, 2012 Share Posted 1 July, 2012 Time has lessened my dislike for the new kit (it's the all red thing that bugs me, not the shirt per sé.) However, just like the Sash kit, which I absolutely loved...... after about three months of the season I will begin to get really bored of it and wish we were back in the Stripes with black shorts/white socks.

Red&White Posted 1 July, 2012 Share Posted 1 July, 2012 we all went ballistic at the sight of the lotto ball on the 125th anniversary crest and where did it get us? Nowhere. So stop giving yourself rsi, you're not going to change anything. It ain't saints but it's hear to stay for a season at least. Nc's his own man, don't give a hoot about upsetting us an probably has his reasons so put up and shut up. He's helped get us where we are today so be grateful for that for no matter how much we bleat this is a totaliterian leadership. It's his ship an he'll steer it where he wants.

SO16_Saint Posted 1 July, 2012 Share Posted 1 July, 2012 So just seen the shirt in the west quay store. It looks pretty neat tbh. Also, after the hysteria, there is a shirt printing station in west quay, by GAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Mockles Posted 1 July, 2012 Share Posted 1 July, 2012 Wow! As overreactions go, this kit thread is up there with the London riots & ridiculous sentence subsequently handed out for local lad making an ill-thought tongue in cheek quip about calling people to riot on Facebook!! It must be the lack of face to face contact that prevents quashing these inwardly inflating trains of thought. It's a poor kit. Esp. for the return to the PL but its merely a kit; a colour. On the Sky matches televised or from your seat in the stands, it won't make much difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfc4prem Posted 1 July, 2012 Share Posted 1 July, 2012 Like it or not, why do people have a desperate need to be seen having something new as soon as possible? Whether an iPhone, saints shirt or harry potter book, you gain very little from having it 24 hours earlier, have to make a big effort to do so and look like an obsessive materialistic nobstick. Or does wearing a shirt before anyone else make you feel amazing? It can't be that thing of not wanting to be seen in the same top as other people. I've never understood people wanting to queue (and/or camp overnight) in order to get something a day or two before someone else... Waste of time and effort if you ask me.

sadoldgit Posted 1 July, 2012 Share Posted 1 July, 2012 Chelsea play in blue shirts, Manchester United in red, Everton in blue, Southampton in red and white stripes.

S-Clarke Posted 1 July, 2012 Share Posted 1 July, 2012 (edited) Would people rather be in L1, or even L2, with red and white stripes and potentially no future, or would you prefer to be in the PL with a predominately red kit and a forward thinking chairman. No brainier. I'm sure that post will be ripped apart, because good god, you cannot be positive. It's all awful at Southampton, it's run by clowns who are destroying our history apparently. I said the same about us for years before NC and co came in, we as fans lived in the past. Craving the likes of Beattie coming back, Killer returning from a career ending injury, fans back on the board, old traditional kits every year. Now we're looking into the future with a plan, it's time to stop looking at the past. No reason to forget it at all, but you cannot live in your past - it's time to create a new history.

sadoldgit Posted 1 July, 2012 Share Posted 1 July, 2012 Perhaps we should change the colours on the Union Jack too? Surely they are a bit jaded now? Ferrari should race in yellow perhaps? There is nothing wrong with tradition and being proud of your team's colours. We are not Liverpool, we are Southampton FC and the stripes were the reason I stared supporting the club in 1966. If Lowe had done this would everyone be saying ooooooh cool? Very sad as far as I'm concerned.
