buctootim Posted 28 May, 2012 Posted 28 May, 2012 Would be more 'Saints' with more white in the overall mix - not necessarily wider stripes but white trim around collar sleeves and bottom of shirt.
djharvey Posted 28 May, 2012 Posted 28 May, 2012 I'm bored so back on the kit templates. Going by the rumours and the ITK on here, this is supposedly what it'll look like. God help Cortese if he releases this... Quite like that! Think it could be a big seller after initial reservations.
The9 Posted 28 May, 2012 Posted 28 May, 2012 The person was probably making a statement, after all Adam Lallana is a premier league player now, he achieved this wearing the current shirt. The underlying issue here is that you are actually quite cross about it, there are people out there who can help you with your issues. They were at least AS likely to be just making the statement that they don't pay attention to the shirt numbers, I think. I'm not that bothered, it's their problem if they want to go around looking silly. As I said, we weren't even promoted at that point.
The9 Posted 28 May, 2012 Posted 28 May, 2012 Well it looks like its going to be if you like it or not. And if we do well in it everyone will remember it. Do you think people would still love the Keegan kit if it had been worn in the era relegation stuggles and worn by the likes of Gordon Hobson and Gerry Forest? I would, I loved the amber and black version worn by Newport County in their Third Division mediocrity as well... though admittedly that was a bit of a peak for them.
itchen_dan Posted 28 May, 2012 Posted 28 May, 2012 Just as a little side note, I think a few of you may like this design!
The9 Posted 28 May, 2012 Posted 28 May, 2012 I think I'm going to stick to pondering the away kit. I would like the reverse of that, just to readdress the red/white imbalance. It would also extend the life of my yellow shirt, hopefully. Now there's a shirt that might have been worth gambling some Prem numbers on.
Colinjb Posted 28 May, 2012 Posted 28 May, 2012 Well it looks like its going to be if you like it or not. And if we do well in it everyone will remember it. Do you think people would still love the Keegan kit if it had been worn in the era relegation stuggles and worn by the likes of Gordon Hobson and Gerry Forest? It's a fair point, most of the fondly remembered shirts are associated with success. Interesting that during our years of stunning attacking play under Chris Nichol we wore some truly malignant Hummel kits... despite the players who wore those shirts they are certainly not well loved. And yes, my own personal opinion matters not, yet it seems i'm not alone in finding it a bit too literally sticking to the 'come on you reds.....' chant.
The9 Posted 28 May, 2012 Posted 28 May, 2012 Just as a little side note, I think a few of you may like this design! I prefer it to the plain red one... even though it's maybe a little overproduced, it's more Saintsy.
Colinjb Posted 28 May, 2012 Posted 28 May, 2012 Just as a little side note, I think a few of you may like this design! Yes! Very nice!!
CB Fry Posted 28 May, 2012 Posted 28 May, 2012 Just as a little side note, I think a few of you may like this design! Quite like that. Don't like the red with white pinstripes thing. Hope we don't go down that route, never like the plain red kits, although loved the Denmark Hummell one, which did have quite a lot of red. For our first season back I hope we wear stripes. It's our thing. Give it a couple of seasons - say when we are Champions League regulars with a fanbase stretching to Truro - before we start "experimenting". Oh, and the kit should be - red and white stripes, black shorts, white socks. To much buggering about with that in recent times for my liking. Not red socks. Not black socks. Stripy socks at a push. But white really.
djharvey Posted 28 May, 2012 Posted 28 May, 2012 Just as a little side note, I think a few of you may like this design! Put those sleeves and collar on the pinstripe version! Could be a good combination!
Badger Posted 28 May, 2012 Posted 28 May, 2012 I'm bored so back on the kit templates. Going by the rumours and the ITK on here, this is supposedly what it'll look like. God help Cortese if he releases this... Just unsaintly !
Badger Posted 28 May, 2012 Posted 28 May, 2012 Here's a few I mocked up last year: Keegan era, outstanding.
itchen_dan Posted 28 May, 2012 Posted 28 May, 2012 Maybe we've heard no news about new kit yet as we are waiting for Jay Rodriguez to sign and he can be one of the models! Will definitely make the launch more popular.
Saint J 77 Posted 28 May, 2012 Posted 28 May, 2012 Just as a little side note, I think a few of you may like this design! Yeah this is a nice design. I was playing around with a similar design myself.
Gordon Mockles Posted 29 May, 2012 Posted 29 May, 2012 Like that kit. Quite liked an old mock up shown on here that was very much like the old Rank Xerox kit. That was a classic. Still have the Saints Hummel and Coventry Hummel (FA Cup winning) kits. Loved that Danish style kit. Kid at school came in with it one day and I thought it was the best kit I'd ever seen!!
alpine_saint Posted 29 May, 2012 Posted 29 May, 2012 (edited) Here's a few I mocked up last year: Mes a like these. If the yellow kit from this season really does become our 3rd kit, I reckon the away kit will be black anyway. Edited 29 May, 2012 by alpine_saint
The9 Posted 29 May, 2012 Posted 29 May, 2012 It's the last year of our Umbro contract, they already have a number of shirts with this template, I don't understand why Cortese hasn't seen the love for the Rank Xerox and given us a version of this Hearts kit from 2010 : or something in a "Winchester" like this Wrexham shirt, with white in the middle and the "tapes" in black : Just for the hell of it btw, I found one of last season's kit threads when googling : http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://geckosaint.com/SFC-kit-history-22.png&imgrefurl=http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php%3F28897-Time-for-a-quot-new-kit-quot-thread/page3&usg=__z7x94IM-mmCDQysjLzIQSqKVen8=&h=264&w=604&sz=9&hl=en&start=18&zoom=1&tbnid=gcr1V5_5UeG7hM:&tbnh=59&tbnw=135&ei=-brET5zjN46p8QPIwYG5Cg&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dumbro%2Bwinchester%2Bwrexham%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Dactive%26sa%3DN%26gbv%3D2%26tbm%3Disch&um=1&itbs=1
Thedelldays Posted 29 May, 2012 Posted 29 May, 2012 Mes a like these. If the yellow kit from this season really does become our 3rd kit, I reckon the away kit will be black anyway. numer 1 and 3 for home and away...would seal the deal IMO
The9 Posted 29 May, 2012 Posted 29 May, 2012 numer 1 and 3 for home and away...would seal the deal IMO Same colour home and away shorts and socks ? It's not going to be #1, no idea about the away kit.
Thedelldays Posted 29 May, 2012 Posted 29 May, 2012 Same colour home and away shorts and socks ? It's not going to be #1, no idea about the away kit. not really bothered about the shorts
The9 Posted 29 May, 2012 Posted 29 May, 2012 not really bothered about the shorts Could be the difference between us looking a bit like Saints (black) and a lot like Forest (white) or Liverpool (red).
capitalsaint Posted 29 May, 2012 Posted 29 May, 2012 Same colour home and away shorts and socks ? It's not going to be #1, no idea about the away kit. So it's going to be #2?
The9 Posted 29 May, 2012 Posted 29 May, 2012 So it's going to be #2? I think you should reread the thread, there are at least two people on it who are claiming to know exactly what the home shirt will be.
The9 Posted 29 May, 2012 Posted 29 May, 2012 Something just occurred to me. Where are all the people who blithely spouted "It's going to be red and white stripes" last year ?
capitalsaint Posted 29 May, 2012 Posted 29 May, 2012 I pay attention to nobody except you and Glasgow. NOBODY.
The9 Posted 29 May, 2012 Posted 29 May, 2012 I pay attention to nobody except you and Glasgow. NOBODY. What if I was one of them ?
Paul Chuckle Posted 29 May, 2012 Posted 29 May, 2012 Someone posted this of a Barclays wear it with pride Southampton sign. Could this be first glimpse of new kit??? http://p.twimg.com/AuEVTxnCEAAUKUx.jpg:large
doggface Posted 29 May, 2012 Posted 29 May, 2012 It is last years. Lets hope barclays dont bounce our cheques this year
The9 Posted 29 May, 2012 Posted 29 May, 2012 Someone posted this of a Barclays wear it with pride Southampton sign. Could this be first glimpse of new kit??? http://p.twimg.com/AuEVTxnCEAAUKUx.jpg:large It's just Barclays winding me up by putting next year's logos on last year's kit. (See earlier in thread).
The9 Posted 29 May, 2012 Posted 29 May, 2012 Every year we just prove that some people on this site have a lot more talent for kit design than the people actually designing our kit! Makes the finished article even more of a let down. One of the people on this site DID design the kit(s) in 2006/7 remember ? And people moaned like hell about that too.
Window Cleaner Posted 29 May, 2012 Posted 29 May, 2012 This is excellent. Particularly good if the central stripe is thick enough to take the whole sponsor and avoid the stuck on patch look. Nice shirt
doggface Posted 29 May, 2012 Posted 29 May, 2012 One of the people on this site DID design the kit(s) in 2006/7 remember ? And people moaned like hell about that too.Yeah cos it was ****e. I have alot more trust in umbro, of course it is up to the club to choose what they want however.
The9 Posted 29 May, 2012 Posted 29 May, 2012 Yeah cos it was ****e. I have alot more trust in umbro, of course it is up to the club to choose what they want however. I am referring to Which I think are all pretty decent, apart from the long sleeved shirts were too short in the sleeve.
doubleonothing Posted 29 May, 2012 Posted 29 May, 2012 Yes, the one with black sleeves. After the quality of many of the mock ups, that actual shirt was poor though. I liked the time we got to vote on it. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/southampton/1111795.stm Yup. The time P*mpey tried to rig it.
The9 Posted 29 May, 2012 Posted 29 May, 2012 Yes, the one with black sleeves. After the quality of many of the mock ups, that actual shirt was poor though. I liked the time we got to vote on it. I couldn't remember which season, but it was the final one at the Dell : http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/southampton/1111795.stm That was the one worn in the last league match at the Dell and in the 2001-2 and 2002-3 season (and therefore the first season at St Mary's and the FA Cup semi-final too). I didn't vote, wasn't able to get in for most of 2000/1...
Cestrian Saint Posted 29 May, 2012 Posted 29 May, 2012 I'm bored so back on the kit templates. Going by the rumours and the ITK on here, this is supposedly what it'll look like. God help Cortese if he releases this... That's a 1980's Liverpool shirt. :-(
Badger Posted 29 May, 2012 Posted 29 May, 2012 Several references to the red with white pinstripe in this thread. I remember Bayern Munich wearing something similar in the 1970's : Looks like a red version of Brighton's home kit 2010/11.
BlakeySFC Posted 29 May, 2012 Posted 29 May, 2012 I am referring to Which I think are all pretty decent, apart from the long sleeved shirts were too short in the sleeve. Think the 2006-08 (S) shirts were the worst ever. They were terrible to wear, looked like ****e and were poorly made with shockingly cheap materials. The only one I liked was the 2006/07 Black away shirt as I thought it was rather smart, it was awful to wear as it made you sweat like a fat man rowing a boat, but at least it was decent. Really hope we stay with Umbro after 2012/13 as I think there kits have (on the whole) been excellent compared with the latter years of the (S) days. Think the new adidas low-rent kits that everyone and there uncle are getting in the Prem these days are nowhere near the quality of recent Umbro shirts IMHO. Just look at WBA/Stoke/Swansea kits, absolutely terrible and the same exact template on each. Sunderland will also have Adidas kits next season, and Bolton too (in the FLC). Only us and Man City will wear Umbro kits next season.
Ajv2809 Posted 29 May, 2012 Posted 29 May, 2012 Just as a little side note, I think a few of you may like this design! Very tidy. Would be more than happy if it looks similar to this.
Joneth Posted 30 May, 2012 Posted 30 May, 2012 Just as a little side note, I think a few of you may like this design! Anyone consider the possibility of rather than a double white stripe in the middle it may just be normal alternate stripes, meaning one white sleeve one red? Might look really lop sided and wrong or could look really smart.
CWD Posted 30 May, 2012 Posted 30 May, 2012 Like both of those! The stripes with the thin pin strip in the centre is particularly smart.
Pilchards Posted 30 May, 2012 Posted 30 May, 2012 Several references to the red with white pinstripe in this thread. I remember Bayern Munich wearing something similar in the 1970's : Looks like a red version of Brighton's home kit 2010/11. Bloody hell trophies have come on well since they give out car hubs for winning.
Cestrian Saint Posted 31 May, 2012 Posted 31 May, 2012 Some of these designs certainly fit with what I was told which was that the new shirt will be based on an old classic.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 31 May, 2012 Posted 31 May, 2012 Re-designed to have a white sponsor and a plain white collar. One all red, another red with white cuffs and another with white sleeves and red cuffs. Both of these are great and in fact I actually prefer the white sleeves as there's more white involved - clearly there's the Arse connection bit it's quite different for us - will cause a stir beyond the club I would imagine. I would buy these shirts f'sure as they are different (I like different) and I didn't buy last years for obvious reasons.
EBS1980 Posted 31 May, 2012 Posted 31 May, 2012 Remove the thin red stripe down the middle and that would be a great shirt. Maybe with a different collar too..
sussexsaint Posted 31 May, 2012 Posted 31 May, 2012 Some onice efforts on here but the mainly red ones leave me cold I'm afraid - need far more white
