Zlavik Posted 28 November, 2012 Posted 28 November, 2012 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...
The Kraken Posted 28 November, 2012 Posted 28 November, 2012 Best: either the sash or the Rank Xerox home. Worst: Pony "tick" away, closely followed by the Pony "tick" home. Both utter abominations.
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 28 November, 2012 Posted 28 November, 2012 Best: Air Florida, either home or away Worst: The Pony ones identified by Kraken, or the European one from 2003-2004.
The9 Posted 28 November, 2012 Posted 28 November, 2012 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.
jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 28 November, 2012 Posted 28 November, 2012 I agree with the OP this seasons home kit is the nuts. I also really liked the blue flamed away shirt. The worst kit imo has to be the pony kits. just the shirt sponsor name was embarrassing enough let alone the design.
Baldbarbarian Posted 28 November, 2012 Posted 28 November, 2012 Another vote for this seasons, really like it. The Pony shirts were as the name suggests.... Pony. We also had a white/grey Flybe shirt a few seasons back which was awful.
Big_Bald_Si Posted 28 November, 2012 Posted 28 November, 2012 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.
JRM Posted 28 November, 2012 Posted 28 November, 2012 my favourite kit was the blue flamed hummel kit we wore in the 1992 ZDS Cup final, i think it looked particularly good as we had model players like Terry Hurlock and Iain Dowie in it.
Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 28 November, 2012 Posted 28 November, 2012 Worst has to be this season's kit. It looks like a Liverpool shirt and has no tradition with the club. The sooner we get back to wearing red & white stripes and black shorts the better. Best kit has to be the Keegan era Rank Xerox home shirt. I always liked the Hummel shirt that we shared with Denmark too.
Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 28 November, 2012 Posted 28 November, 2012 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. ********!
The9 Posted 28 November, 2012 Posted 28 November, 2012 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.
Zlavik Posted 28 November, 2012 Author Posted 28 November, 2012 Feels like either you love the new kit or you hate it..
Smirking_Saint Posted 28 November, 2012 Posted 28 November, 2012 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. ********! 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
Under Weststand Posted 28 November, 2012 Posted 28 November, 2012 Favourite for me was the 1977/78 promotion kit, closely followed by the sash. This years is an abomination Just horrible. Obviously plenty like it but its not for me.
ericb Posted 28 November, 2012 Posted 28 November, 2012 best one for me was the air florida/rank xerox, the worst was the horrible blue "flames" kit around '91 i think.
View From The Top Posted 28 November, 2012 Posted 28 November, 2012 Sash was excellent but the Air Florida/Ran Xerox top the lot. The worst were clearly the Pony efforts.
hypochondriac Posted 28 November, 2012 Posted 28 November, 2012 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.
Saint Garrett Posted 28 November, 2012 Posted 28 November, 2012 There was that awful kit we had in 06/7 I think ?!!? which had black arms and Bale played for us in it. It was awful IMO.
golfdelsur Posted 28 November, 2012 Posted 28 November, 2012 Best would be the late 70's promotion one worst was that horrible dark blue away one that Le tiss scored thru the man utds keepers legs at old trafford, his name escapes me.
Window Cleaner Posted 28 November, 2012 Posted 28 November, 2012 There was that awful kit we had in 06/7 I think ?!!? which had black arms and Bale played for us in it. It was awful IMO. home made era then. Didn't like the sash myself,not at all aesthetic. Liked the Air Florida models, above all the twin tone blue
Badger Posted 28 November, 2012 Posted 28 November, 2012 Best - Keegan era, and the sash for something special, and traditional stripes. Worst - this season is not even a Saints kit, and the Patrick 'steve zodiac' (red with white shoulder).
John Boy Saint Posted 28 November, 2012 Posted 28 November, 2012 Best: the circa 1977 thick red stripe with thinner red stripes either side. Worst: This seasons home shirt.
BigShadow Posted 29 November, 2012 Posted 29 November, 2012 This has got to be right up there for the worst........
Village Saint Posted 29 November, 2012 Posted 29 November, 2012 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.
Saint86 Posted 29 November, 2012 Posted 29 November, 2012 Surley this seasons white kit is the worst kit of all time? At least the club seem to think that because we never flipping wear it...
Fan The Flames Posted 29 November, 2012 Posted 29 November, 2012 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.
Cricketphilly Posted 29 November, 2012 Posted 29 November, 2012 Wasn't there a third kit,white and 'ocean green'?
Badger Posted 29 November, 2012 Posted 29 November, 2012 Wasn't there a third kit,white and 'ocean green'? Yes, late 1980's.
sadoldgit Posted 29 November, 2012 Posted 29 November, 2012 The worst this seasons by a country mile - nothing to do with Saints. The best - anything with red and white stripes and black shorts.
CB Fry Posted 29 November, 2012 Posted 29 November, 2012 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.
Mattio Posted 29 November, 2012 Posted 29 November, 2012 The dark blue Sanderson(?) away (3rd?) kit URGH
krissyboy31 Posted 29 November, 2012 Posted 29 November, 2012 The best; the 1976 *Charity Shield" home kit. The worst; the two toned blue flames worn by the likes of Dowie. Utterly gross!
Badger Posted 29 November, 2012 Posted 29 November, 2012 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 ?
The9 Posted 30 November, 2012 Posted 30 November, 2012 The dark blue Sanderson(?) away (3rd?) kit URGH 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.
eurosaint Posted 30 November, 2012 Posted 30 November, 2012 The worst this seasons by a country mile - nothing to do with Saints. The best - anything with red and white stripes and black shorts. This ..
