doddisalegend Posted 4 July, 2012 Share Posted 4 July, 2012 I don't like it...doesn't really look like a saint's kit to me. Still won't get my knickers in a twist over it ... I just won't buy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW11_Saint Posted 4 July, 2012 Share Posted 4 July, 2012 Ah. Didn't take long for people to think the club is lying when "record breaking" comes into play Maybe, just accept that outside of SWF world and your tantrums about the kit... It is quite bloody popular I think the words "on course for" are key. Standard PR stuff to try to promote momentum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there something i can do with dat? Tricky there Bearsy, diverse ingredients, but reasonable nutritional value, possibly need to go for the 'Commando, sling in the tin'/your cousin Yogi approach with this: Take 1 medium saucepan, peal and chop the grapefruit, bung in the pan over a medium heat, meanwhile chop up your ham and add to the pan. Slowly add the Mr Men Yogurt...reduce heat here to avoid a curdle... and simer jently for 4 hours, stiring occaisonally. You should have a nice dark brown sludge bby now closely resembling something unmentionable, but add the aero and stir in until completely melted. Will taste like shiedt, look like shiedt, but will keep you going until you can nab another picnic basket. Remember to wear your new shirt.

Frank's cousin Posted 4 July, 2012 Share Posted 4 July, 2012 These kind of stories are published becise there is interest in it... obviously... but it still does not deal with teh issue of WHY some get so wound up and over emotive about the kit. If we have a cracking seaosn and finsh 6th in it, will some say it was a 'lucky kit' - and should we then keep it? You can bet that under thsoe circumstances we would have those that were advocating that...same as all red arms = relegation or whatever... seriously, as said before, tradituion is cretaed by time... wear red for 30 years in teh top flight and it would become it... so yeah I cant bsee what the fuss is about... and I dont like it that much...

BlakeySFC Posted 4 July, 2012 Share Posted 4 July, 2012 I was browsing historicalkits.co.uk the other night (as you do) and noticed between 1977 and 1979 Exeter had one all white (with red bits) strip and between 1979-1980 they had one all red strip (with white bits) including red shorts and socks. So we're not the first team to ditch our traditional Red and White stripes anyway. For the record this only lasted until 1980, then they went back to standard Red and White Stripes with Black shorts and red/black socks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Tender Posted 5 July, 2012 Share Posted 5 July, 2012 Although I'm not going to buy the new kit, that has more to do with me being quite happy with the sash shirt, which I particularly like because it had no sponsors name on it. Otherwise, I am faintly disturbed that we have jetisoned the stripes without any good reason like the one we had for the sash kit, but it is entirely up to individuals whether they buy it or boycott it. Upon the sales figures will the hierarchy decide whether it has been a successful exercise or not. In terms of column inches in the daily rags and debate elsewhere, it has been a success, probably for all the wrong reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
