Minty Posted 23 July, 2012 Share Posted 23 July, 2012 The most surprising thing will still be our bloody kit, there will be endless mentions of it in the media well into October. Have there been any mentions of it all so far? Apart from a few: "Here is Southampton's new kit... looks a bit like [insert one of the many cited example already used here]." Does anyone outside of Southampton care much beyond the above sentence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kraken Posted 23 July, 2012 Share Posted 23 July, 2012 Have there been any mentions of it all so far? Apart from a few: "Here is Southampton's new kit... looks a bit like [insert one of the many cited example already used here]." Does anyone outside of Southampton care much beyond the above sentence? Any mention of it I've seen has just been along the lines of "Southampton's new kit, a deviation this season from the traditional red & white stripes". No outrage or anything, just a general indifference to it. As for the red shorts & socks I doubt too many outside Hampshire actually know and care enough to make a song and dance about it.

The9 Posted 23 July, 2012 Share Posted 23 July, 2012 I guarantee you the lazy MotD pundits will bang on about it, after Sky have, and ESPN have, and anyone else with Prem coverage has. There's so much media coverage of the Prem and it'll be like a magical new revelation to every single journalist or commentator for months. It will get some kind of mention in every single live match. I always find it incredible how ill-informed a lot of people are, and you can guarantee Hansen will have something to say about the Liverpool similarity too... Don't forget the league hasn't actually started yet, 95% of other fans don't even know we're not wearing stripes yet. It's not going to be any massive big thing, but it'll be referenced endlessly.

Where would this have happened a month before the season started ? There hasn't even been any p1ss-taking of the exceedingly rise-worthy Man U gingham kit yet. Give it a few weeks for people to notice though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thedelldays Posted 24 July, 2012 Share Posted 24 July, 2012 The9 No one is going to bang on bout the kit Not in MoTD. Not on super Sunday. No one The only person to add comments in the national media will be MLT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OttawaSaint Posted 24 July, 2012 Share Posted 24 July, 2012 No doubt the likes of BBC and Sky will get our heckles up by making absurdly incorrect statements about us and air brushing Harry the man who created Bale back into Saints history...

CB Fry Posted 24 July, 2012 Share Posted 24 July, 2012 The9 No one is going to bang on bout the kit Not in MoTD. Not on super Sunday. No one The only person to add comments in the national media will be MLT No one is going to "bang on about it" but commentators are going to mention it. Five Live commentators will be talking about our kit being "a bit different" in any live match we're in. Just like they'd have said we are "lining up in our traditional red and white stripes" if we were. Our new kit is going to generate a little more comment than the average. But no more than that.

Wes Tender Posted 24 July, 2012 Share Posted 24 July, 2012 No doubt the likes of BBC and Sky will get our heckles up by making absurdly incorrect statements about us and air brushing Harry the man who created Bale back into Saints history... But then they might have to mention too that Harry also got us relegated, something that seems to have escaped the media's attention ever since it happened.

I'm sure fans of all the other clubs will have far more interesting things to think about. And pundits too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special K Posted 24 July, 2012 Share Posted 24 July, 2012 I think we will hold our own against the poor teams. Be in with a shout against the mid table teams and get hammered by the top teams. Lower mid table finish i reckon. But who knows, we could be so fired up against Citeh that JRod bangs in a hatrick within the first 15 minutes and we never look back for the next nine months - here's hoping!
