The Kraken Posted 18 May, 2013 Share Posted 18 May, 2013 That's basically Sunderland's shirt from this year with our badge on it. That's the problem with stripes. Somehow we've got to make them look unique/different from the likes of Stoke, Sunderland Why? Why do we have to do that? We're a team that play in red and white stripes. I don't see why it has to somehow then be unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smirking_Saint Posted 18 May, 2013 Share Posted 18 May, 2013 and this one ... old mock ups I know but new to me, would do the job for sure, pretty keen on the blue away in particular (if the posting of pictures doesnt work apologies, never attempted it before!)

UpweySaint Posted 18 May, 2013 Share Posted 18 May, 2013 Like them except for the name on the back They were done as mock ups for our championship season, we used something nearly identical to the home mock up that season. Im a massive fan of the blue but it seems more likely we'l end up with a more modern looking black kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Saints Posted 18 May, 2013 Share Posted 18 May, 2013 Why? Why do we have to do that? We're a team that play in red and white stripes. I don't see why it has to somehow then be unique. Spot on, no need to try and be clever. Just pick a red and white striped shirt and but a Saints badge on it. Sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're the one kidding yourself if you think other fans think of us more in the Rank Xerox or Hummel kit, or sash kit that was worn for one year when we were hidden in the obscurity of the third division.

The9 Posted 19 May, 2013 Author Share Posted 19 May, 2013 There are barely any stripes on the home shirt this season but it has grown on people, me included as I hated it when it was released. The black/silver would tie in with the logo they have been using on the official site for a while. I still hate this season's shirt and it hasn't grown on me at all. And how would the black/silver (which they've been using for corporate branding all THIS season) tie in with the white/gold they used for the Official Statement at the end of last week ?

As Saints fans you are kidding yourself if you think Saints are famous for stripes! As a non-Sotonian, I assure you you are talking nonsense. Also, The Keegan era kit was striped, just one broad white stripe and a couple of narrower ones at the side. "Cotterill" (presumably Cockerill?) played mostly in stripes, the Hummel Denmark kit was striped as well as being halved, and the sash was a 100 year old kit for one season. In fact the anniversary sash aside, there's only one Saints kit up to now that wasn't in any way red/white striped, and that was the plain red Patrick kit circa 1986.

They mention WBA and Stoke before Saints...bizarrely Whether they mention Saints first or not has no relevance to whether they think Saints play in stripes though. That's basically "name some more well known clubs who wear stripes", we've only had one season in the Prem for 8 years, of course other people will mention other clubs first. That doesn't mean they don't think we play in stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
