CB Fry Posted 1 July, 2012 Share Posted 1 July, 2012 that, I agree on....all this guff about throwing saints in the bin etc...is...err, just guff True. I'm a bit fed up with contributing on this thread so I think I'll stop. I think I have said my piece in my first post. I think it is terrible. That's it. I am allowed that opinion. The hysteria on both sides is hilarious and pathetic. But the Cult of Cortese response is funnier as just demonstrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 1 July, 2012 Share Posted 1 July, 2012 I'm just shocked by the Premier League effect, I've been down there on launch day loads of times and there's been no-one around. Assume one of the reasons is because only one store is open so everyone is in one place, and the online sales won't get the shirt out before going to the store. Even so, that's a lot of people buying something they don't like... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dangermouth Posted 1 July, 2012 Share Posted 1 July, 2012 Would like to comment on 2 things. Yep, I'd say this was a "Premier League" effect in part, second because it is a dark colour and predominantly red it will and does appeal to those who see the 'fashion/accessory' side of it: i.e. non-footy supporters and women who will see it as smarter than a tatty shirt/typical footy shirt etc, third yes, it does and will grate against the 'traditionalists', fourth those who say 'people don't like change' either a) don't have a clue about much (mantra repeaters), b) are saying to impress their boss/fit in because that's what repeating twee homilies does or c) don't recognise that there might be more to it than that. They and perhaps others also will come up with a lot of phrases like "I'm not racist, but ...", I'm all for 'tradition', but etc. Now back to the footy/shirt matter in hand and the photo at the top of this page. I take it the 'lesser lights' of Soton have tons of cash to throw around and therefore you're still affluent over there? That and the people of Southampton are now very laid back as they don't seem to have any fashion sense at all, unlike in say Manc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint86 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. Especially since Iphones are overpriced and inferior to their competition in every way, and whats more, the gullable mongs who buy them then get tricked into buying all apple. Here is an idea... Why don't i buy an iphone for £100 on £41 a month when I can get a HTC for £31 a month and a free phone, on the same network, and which is superior in everyway except the company that makes it didn't have the audacity to think that they are equal to Mr Newton.

Webby Posted 1 July, 2012 Share Posted 1 July, 2012 The shirt in itself is bad enough, being mostly red, you won't see the pinstripes from the stands, but it's the red shorts and red socks that make the kit non traditional. The white kit looks really nice but I've always thought the 2nd kit has had a bit more creative freedom. However, having said that, I prefer the yellow shirt and blue shorts as our away kit.

beatlesaint Posted 1 July, 2012 Share Posted 1 July, 2012 I fail to understand why fellow Saints fans are described as "sad" and "utter mongs" for queueing up on a Sunday lunchtime to buy the new shirt on launch day.

JPTCount Posted 1 July, 2012 Share Posted 1 July, 2012 I didn't mention my thoughts on teaching management, it was you that implied you couldn't teach it. I also didn't say it wasn't there, merely that I hadn't seen it, so your suggestion that I was correcting the previous post was wrong. Though I am this time. I also didn't say I wanted the thread to only be facts. You're terrible at this. As for the website, we can change it, and probably will, so it's hardly restrictive. I'm on here plenty, it's easier to access. dude chill out, its the internet. we could go round in circles all day. any one who gets up at 5am and comes on here on a sunday morning needs to chill out big time. terrible at what? point scoring online? i coulnd't care less, but i apologise for the ramblings of a drunk last night btw. if u learnt that everyone has to be right why not use that to effect and realise that not everyone can be right, be safe in the knowledge that u are right and rather than berate others for not being in the know why don't u try and be a little more humble. we all have to be right, but we all make mistakes. my original two points are u come across as a know it all, and the website is sh*t and needs a new look & developer. u've only done to further the argument for the first one and have only tried to disagree with the second, when u agree with me on the whole. but i think i'm right on both and trying to change someone's opinions is like trying to change their taste. i don't use any other forum that has this ethos of oneupsmanship, and it's basically trolling. every half decent discussion on here turns into some playground antics type sh*t. it's so f*cking b*tchy on here! no1 ever answers the quoted post and just dodges round the issue if they are wrong. the amount of made up thesis about how club x is bigger than club y, or ur not a real fan if u don't adhere to a strict dresscode. first time i saw a thread moved i was amazed that there were actually mods here. cba with any more of this now, and sorry for the run on sentences, by head hurts.

WTF is wrong with some people on here, what are they doing wrong by wanting it today ? Not like everyone has skipped work to rush down and buy it is it ? The mings are the people who criticise on here, not the people in that queue. I will tell you... it is because a fair few on here have spent the last 48 hours telling us how this kit is bad going on to a disgrace. Some suggesting that we are throwing everything that is saints in the bin (i do wonder if that was the thought in 1980.?).....and the sight of many queuing up to get such a poor kit can't be anything to do with that fact many might actually like it....no no, that can't be as it is such a bad kit and has nothing to do with saints etc. now, people are only getting it due to the premier league effect...probably true in some cases...hell, I'm sure they are many factors into why people get football tops...myself, I don't get them often, usually the away kits if I do. I got the Sash kit as it was very different and NOTHING to do with saints in my lifetime..and I really do no connect with some black and white photo's from way over 100 years ago. I never got last seasons kit, as quite frankly, red and white stripe standard saints tops are pretty common with saints fans...I will get this home top as it is something different to our red (and white) tradition. I'm sure, if the megastore was empty, those who have been telling us what a disgrace this kit is, would be saying that the store is empty because the kit is crap...but then again for the very reasons buying a kit..if the store was empty, I'm sure there would have been many factors there too.. this is not a bad first day for such a "disgusting" kit. not bad what so ever and I look forward to getting mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmel Posted 1 July, 2012 Share Posted 1 July, 2012 Why would Saints fans label other Saints fans "mongs"? Just don't get it. I wouldn't buy or wear a replica kit, but I certainly wouldn't have dig at those that do (And putting money into the club at the same time).

Dalek2003 Posted 1 July, 2012 Share Posted 1 July, 2012 I haven't updated my shirt since 1991, Branfoot era. IMO this was our best shirt and despite the opinion on this board a year were we dug in to ensure our place in the top flight.
