mattysaints Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 What kit are we wearing tonight? Red or yellow?
Colinjb Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 Talking to the guys in the shop last week. Red. Incidentally it looks as though we will not be wearing the white kit for any more then one game. If socks or shorts clash the entire kit must be changed...... due to an edict from on high which states that the all red and all white kits must remain exactly that. - No mix and match white shorts/socks to red shirts. Madness.
Joe Kirkup Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 When you say on high, I assume you mean NC, not the EPL?
Colinjb Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 When you say on high, I assume you mean NC, not the EPL? Within Southampton FC. The shop guys wouldn't clarify who the decision maker is.

Madness. Ha ha ha. So Liverpool away is the only definite time we'll wear it during the whole season. Potentially possible against Norwich, but why would we not just wear red??!! A monumentally ignorant, stunningly stupid kit decision. Made worse by the fact that the de facto away kit, the yellow one, isn't even on sale. Saints FC; take a bow, you utter clowns.

We will may be wearing the white kit at Norwich. No white in their yellow and green, but red would be far more distinctive.
Turkish Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 A home kit no one likes, an away kit we cant wear and a third kit no one can buy. Genius. Who is responsible for this shambles i wonder?

This Charming Man Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 Thankfully we can just laugh at this ridiculous policy as it's not overly important. Just a shame some of the other ridiculous decisions made so far are costing us.

once_bitterne Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 It's one of a number of c*ck ups though isn't it. Yeah, Stoopid double promotion gaining Cortese. What a numpty eh Dicky! I mean no one who ever was in charge of Saints before would be so moronic as to give us a white away shirt. The bit about not wanting to change to shorts that don't match with the shirts is bollux as shorts don't have to be different in the PL:
The Kraken Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 SF73; we know shorts don't HAVE to be the same colour. The point you've missed is that someone at SFC has apparently decided the white kit can only be worn in its entirety, or not at all. So your second picture (the one that actually worked) is irrelevant.

Great summary. Reckon I made the right decision all-round shying away from a shirt purchase this year. Especially as this season is going to be one to forget.

The point you've missed is that someone at SFC has apparently decided the white kit can only be worn in its entirety, or not at all. So your second picture (the one that actually worked) is irrelevant. They both worked. I think the problem may be at your end! So you are agreeing that if shorts of the two opposing teams can match then there is no earthly reason why we would NOT always wear the white shorts with the white shirt then? It's as useless as saying "there has been an edict from upon high that we only wear red shorts with the red shirts at home".....
once_bitterne Posted 5 November, 2012 Posted 5 November, 2012 Pipe down Bradley or i'll tell Stuey you're getting lemon and he'll sort you out. You posts are quite rational (compared to Stupot's) on TUI but over here you seem to be playing the character of Stu. Fair play, if slightly 'odd'!

No, i can only see one as well, the second one as well which looks like Newcastle v Fulham. You best get that dial up in your bedsit sorted Bradley.

Of course its ok by the rules to do that. We're apparently choosing not to; which in turn limits the away kit to being able to be worn once or twice for the whole season, which is a frankly bizarre and stupid situation to end up in. And you can see both images because they're in your cache. But not in ours.
