Dr Who? Posted 2 June, 2012 Posted 2 June, 2012 (edited) Did we not used to have a very red top? There was one with shoulder white bits, but there was a whole red shirt? Or did I dream this?

Must have been 85/86 http://www.amazon.co.uk/SOUTHAMPTON-FRAMED-FOOTBALL-POSTER-THROUGH/dp/B002WTSKAO We had all red shirts as a 3rd kit in the early 80s - worn at West Brom. QPR and in the FA Cup at Blackburn http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Articles/iconic-change-kits.html
The Saturday Boy Posted 2 June, 2012 Posted 2 June, 2012 Who is she then ? Appears to be a fashion model by the looks of it. According to her tweets, she was modelling the new kits for a shoot at St Mary's yesterday. She confirms that one is red with thin white stripes and the other is white.
InvictaSaint Posted 2 June, 2012 Posted 2 June, 2012 So can someone PM me the link please. thanks Same here please.
doggface Posted 2 June, 2012 Posted 2 June, 2012 I think they mean the dog link, dont bite people I think dog is barking up the wrong tree as usual. He is on a windup
B Rabbit Posted 2 June, 2012 Posted 2 June, 2012 Thought i'd do a quick one...given that we are going to be the new Barcelona...may as well copy their kit and go a bit retro Keegan at the same time ...and i don't care if the collar is wrong or the umbro logo is in the wrong place or it's last seasons model blah blah blah blah blah, it's a concept idea @ the9

saintchris23 Posted 2 June, 2012 Posted 2 June, 2012 Very,very nice Looks like the best kit I've ever seen.
BlakeySFC Posted 2 June, 2012 Posted 2 June, 2012 Who is she then ? Think she's a photographer, or possibly a stylist...her twitter profile doesn't really give much a way, but she has pics of the SMS changing rooms and the huge saints logo outside SMS before tweeting that ^^^ so looks legit enough.
latter day saint Posted 2 June, 2012 Posted 2 June, 2012 WTF is everyone on about ? i can't see any link

Saint86 Posted 2 June, 2012 Posted 2 June, 2012 Hi guys, could someone PM me the link for this kite design and/or model
itchen_dan Posted 2 June, 2012 Posted 2 June, 2012 What about the away kit?! Supposedly white and thats all we know so far. What about a simple reverse of the home kit?

She's a model. Said on twitter she was wearing the kit.
doggface Posted 2 June, 2012 Posted 2 June, 2012 Photoshoot for the promos. Don't think away has pinstripes
Spades Posted 2 June, 2012 Posted 2 June, 2012 Supposedly white and thats all we know so far. What about a simple reverse of the home kit? LOVE these
Katalinic Posted 2 June, 2012 Posted 2 June, 2012 The real thing isn't as nice as Itchen Dan's mock up imho.
itchen_dan Posted 2 June, 2012 Posted 2 June, 2012 The real thing isn't as nice as Itchen Dan's mock up imho. Oh. I wasn't sure about my mock up myself but if it's worse.... could this go down as one of the worst in our history?!
itchen_dan Posted 2 June, 2012 Posted 2 June, 2012 The real thing isn't as nice as Itchen Dan's mock up imho. Anyway, give us a clue please? Are the stripes thinner or thicker? Sleeve colour? Collar colour / style?
BILLY Posted 2 June, 2012 Posted 2 June, 2012 Supposedly white and thats all we know so far. What about a simple reverse of the home kit? Would be happy with this!
Badger Posted 2 June, 2012 Posted 2 June, 2012 Oh. I wasn't sure about my mock up myself but if it's worse.... could this go down as one of the worst in our history?! That is something I'm preparing myself for inview of both The9's and Katalinic's hints to date.
itchen_dan Posted 2 June, 2012 Posted 2 June, 2012 (edited) Another update AmandaRushforth: @danbsfc im not a football fan so unfortunately i paid little attention to the kit details, but its red with THIN white stripes, maybe 5/6? AmandaRushforth: @danbsfc i did a shoot for them, but i have no idea when its coming out.... it was a cool concept tho, very english pride AmandaRushforth: @danbsfc im sure there were more details to the white kit, but not the same way the red one had stripes, so i didnt notice... sorry Edited 2 June, 2012 by itchen_dan
itchen_dan Posted 2 June, 2012 Posted 2 June, 2012 So going on latest info, I've made the stripes slightly thinner.

Hope so as it sounds awful.
BlakeySFC Posted 2 June, 2012 Posted 2 June, 2012 Could this possibly be a training top ? Hope so as it sounds awful. Doubtful, coincides with the hints Kallinic et al have given throughout the thread
Thedelldays Posted 2 June, 2012 Posted 2 June, 2012 it wouldn't be saints unless the fans had a jolly good moan about something
BlakeySFC Posted 2 June, 2012 Posted 2 June, 2012 it wouldn't be saints unless the fans had a jolly good moan about something I'm sure when the new kit is actually outed there'll be loads of wrist-cutters on here saying things such as 'terrible, won't be buying' 'worst shirt i've seen in years' ad nauseum for about 2/3 pages
Katalinic Posted 2 June, 2012 Posted 2 June, 2012 Another update AmandaRushforth: @danbsfc im not a football fan so unfortunately i paid little attention to the kit details, but its red with THIN white stripes, maybe 5/6?

It's a marmite kit. I do understand why the club have done it though (explained in a previous post).

No doubt he will use it as the reason why we haven't concluded all of transfer business by the end of July.
Thedelldays Posted 2 June, 2012 Posted 2 June, 2012 as long as it is red, as long as it does not resemble the pony "tick" top...then I aint that bothered and will buy it anyway
funkymojo44 Posted 2 June, 2012 Posted 2 June, 2012 http://i49.tinypic.com/1erim9.png I prefer more white than red, i always think its a red stripe(s) on a white shirt tbf for our previous kits.
buctootim Posted 2 June, 2012 Posted 2 June, 2012 AmandaRushforth: @danbsfc i did a shoot for them, but i have no idea when its coming out.... it was a cool concept tho, very english pride Something like this possibly
Badger Posted 2 June, 2012 Posted 2 June, 2012 So going on latest info, I've made the stripes slightly thinner. Definitely too L/pool, or Forest for my liking.
Saint J 77 Posted 2 June, 2012 Posted 2 June, 2012 So going on latest info, I've made the stripes slightly thinner. Nothing wrong with the design itself but it doesn't really say Saints to me. It looks more like a Nottingham Forest top. But if that's what the latest info is and happens to end up what the club have gone for, then I guess it will do and I'll get used to it.

But if that's what the latest info is and happens to end up what the club have gone for, then I guess it will do and I'll get used to it. Like we did for the entire 1980's... 1980 - 1985 1985 - 1987 1987 - 1989
Nigel=God-Poyet=Sod Posted 2 June, 2012 Posted 2 June, 2012 Sorry if this has been asked before, does anyone know when the kit will be released? I am surprised the club didn't release it early this year, to maximise sales because of the high of back to back promotions, but they know what they are doing I'm sure.
Saint J 77 Posted 2 June, 2012 Posted 2 June, 2012 Who actually makes the decision what Kit design is chosen? I would guess Umbro design a selection of ideas and then is it Cortese who decides?

I'd imagine Cortese/other senior management give Umbro a brief and then as you say Umbro provide a number of designs and then Cortese ultimately decides.
Saint J 77 Posted 2 June, 2012 Posted 2 June, 2012 (edited) Like we did for the entire 1980's... 1980 - 1985 1985 - 1987 1987 - 1989 Yes there is no right or wrong way to design a Saints kit. Its just what some people, like myself get use to a certain look. As you have pointed out Southampton Kits aren't always traditional stripes. I don't mind that either. I myself had the 1985-87 kit. It was my first Southampton Kit and that does feel right to me. Probably a little bit down to nostalgia. Its just the pinstriped idea that I'm not so keen on. That with a predominately red top is what makes me think forest not saints. But I am sure it will grow on me. Most saints kits I haven't like at first site normally do. By the way that Hummel kit looks truly a product of its time, 80'es loud Edited 2 June, 2012 by Saint J 77
Saint J 77 Posted 2 June, 2012 Posted 2 June, 2012 I'd imagine Cortese/other senior management give Umbro a brief and then as you say Umbro provide a number of designs and then Cortese ultimately decides. I wonder if the players ever get consulted as well? Surely they have to feel comfortable wearing it. I am thinning about that awful Everton pink away kit here
