Best and worst kit ever

Recommended Posts

My favourite Saints home shirt is the plain striped hummel (not the Denmark one) from 1990. Then from our striped kits the plain 2001/2 Friends Provident, of non-striped it's the sash, then the hummel Denmark style.

 

Favourite away is the 2006 Cup Final Anniversary tribute kit - the players' version with Saints Apparel logo and flybe sponsor, as I hate the inaccurate unbranded limited edition replica with a passion. Also really like the black Friends Provident away from 2002 with the red panels on the side, and the current, surely to debut on Saturday, white kit.

 

Honourable mentions to all of the Patrick Rank Xerox broad striped kits too.

 

Worst home kit is the Pony tick and the current one is a close second, worst away kits are the Admiral blue flame of 1991 and the Pony tick away light blue from '93.

I think our current kit is up there with the worst. I look at us sometimes and think "Nottingham Forest". Honourable mention to around 93/94 when we were sponsored by Dimplex and had that interesting pattern on the front back which wasn't quite stripes, wasn't a massive fan of that.

 

Best kit - I quite liked our 125th anniversary edition kit, was a nice touch. Quite a few non-Saints supporting mates of mine thought the same too, usually any such drastic kit change is met by ridicule.

Got to laugh. There's loads of people on here who say that the current home shirt is amongst the worst. Yet the club are still trying to tell us that it's one of the most popular. ********!

 

To be fair, I dislike it immensely for not being remotely near to red and white stripes but I still bought one and wear it to every match. It is tangible garbage that it's "popular" though, I'm just keeping my collection up to date.

Got to laugh up until the point of your post it was 3-2 in favour of the current home kit so well done for ignoring the three in favour posts there ?

 

FWIW

 

Best - Sash and the one we wore in the FA final season

 

Worst - the horrible european one

 

On this seasons kit, I like it, it looks really nice but its not Saints, can swallow it for a season though

TBF there have been pages and pages of comments from a host of posters saying how much they hated it. I am in that camp.

What kit is the best that we've ever had in your opinion?

 

Imo this years kit is the best ever (yes I know I will get yelled at for saying this, but we all have our own opinions).

The worst kit we've ever had is the 1993-1995...

 

This years kit is undoubtedly the very very worst (just beats the raspberry ripple, sash and penguin outfits). The best any one of the classic red and white unembellished stripes.

Worst - The Pony tick and ecu away. Ecu and grey were popular for a while because some focus group siad it went best with jeans ffs.

 

Best - Candy Stripes, Ranx Xerox home and away and The Sash.

 

I like this seasons.

 

Where to people prefer as the centre stripe, red of white, personally I prefer a white centre stripe by miles.

Wasn't there a third kit,white and 'ocean green'?

 

 

 

It was called "Solent Green".

 

Which only in later years did I realise may have been a tribute to Soylent Green, albeit a weird in-joke tribute from someone on the design team.

 

I had that kit though. Great stuff.

 

 

Oh, and this years kit is easily the worst of all time. Utter, utter sh it.

The dark blue Sanderson(?) away (3rd?) kit URGH

 

Don't recall that one.

 

The best; the 1976 *Charity Shield" home kit. The worst; the two toned blue flames worn by the likes of Dowie. Utterly gross!

 

Is that the 1976 shirt, but with three 'candy stripes' rather than two ? Only worn once in a match, but Austin Hayes was still wearing it in the team photo whilst everyone else had the two stripes on ?

I think you mean the Navy Friends Provident sponsored one from 1999 that we drew 3-3 at Old Trafford in ? The Sanderson away kits were all either yellow, yellow and blue, white or ecru.
