Miltonroader07 Posted 24 January, 2013 Posted 24 January, 2013 AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH my apologies , just seen this,, great minds etc etc
The9 Posted 14 February, 2013 Author Posted 14 February, 2013 Recent update : Tadanari Lee will be wearing this adidas striped template : But then Japanese styles very rarely get used in the west. Still no word on who's going to be making next season's kit yet - I see Blackburn have signed up with Nike next season and Umbro are still making shirts for their existing clients (mostly in South America and Ireland) though. There will be a reveal of all the 2013 MLS shirts in the next week or so, some of which are striped, so that will probably tie up all of the adidas options for 2013/14 if we end up with them.
doggface Posted 14 February, 2013 Posted 14 February, 2013 Have heard some Nike speculation, we will see.
richie Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 I bought an Umbro Kit for my team last summer and have been ringing around trying to get replacement shorts socks etc. Spoke to a company yesterday who incidentally supply Saints and Forest academy. Guy tells me Forest have sacked Umbro off and are asking for Macron kit from them for next season as the Umbro thing is all up in the air. Also told its not a done deal that there wont be any more Umbro kits. Was due to be an announcemt in Dec then Jan and now its next month. It looked like Nikewould do away with all Umbro teamkits but thats not necessarily the case anymore. So watch this space. Guy tells me suppliers and retailers are well ****ed off as they have loads of orders for umbro kit but just nothing about!
once_bitterne Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 Have heard some Nike speculation, we will see. Been told we have already signed on with Adidas but it won't be announed until season's end.
Hatch Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 Been told we have already signed on with Adidas but it won't be announed until season's end. next years AC Milan Adidas kit ( maybe)
The9 Posted 28 February, 2013 Author Posted 28 February, 2013 next years AC Milan Adidas kit ( maybe) See post 33. And it definitely is. This is the only striped adidas MLS kit revealed so far in their "Kit week" :
ToreSF Posted 28 February, 2013 Posted 28 February, 2013 Agree, think it would look good in red and white. Hope we get something like our 1983-84 kit.
The9 Posted 28 February, 2013 Author Posted 28 February, 2013 Not sure I'd like these (2012/13) Philadelphia Union templates much : This Montreal home shirt shows the seams where the one adidas template panels go - the print pattern on the main shirt seems to be a "thing" for next season too. The other (plain) 2013/14 adidas template shows where the other style's panels/pieces go :

The9 Posted 28 February, 2013 Author Posted 28 February, 2013 http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Southampton/Southampton.htm What about it ? Navy shorts and socks ?
Saint Garrett Posted 28 February, 2013 Posted 28 February, 2013 Eek It's awfully BlueThink it would look pretty decent in R+W.
ToreSF Posted 28 February, 2013 Posted 28 February, 2013 FWIW I prefer the 1980-83 shirt. Is there any difference apart from the sponsor?
The9 Posted 28 February, 2013 Author Posted 28 February, 2013 Is there any difference apart from the sponsor? Nope. I don't like AIR FLORIDA anything like as much as RANK XEROX though, the latter looks like a bit of effort went into their font. I think I actually prefer the RX one to the sponsorless one.
ToreSF Posted 28 February, 2013 Posted 28 February, 2013 Think it would look good with the aap sponsor if they could scale it sou it would fit on the white background. Something like a reverse version of the Ajax kit.

The other (plain) 2013/14 adidas template shows where the other style's panels/pieces go : The second phili kit in red is the one.
The9 Posted 28 February, 2013 Author Posted 28 February, 2013 The second phili kit in red is the one. Think it's unlikely that if we went with adidas we'd be accepting a kit which is based on the same shirts West Brom, Stoke and Sunderland have this season, but there are plenty of ways of doing that with the 2013/14 templates too.
jawillwill Posted 28 February, 2013 Posted 28 February, 2013 Well if nothing else, the thread title is accurate.
The9 Posted 28 February, 2013 Author Posted 28 February, 2013 Well if nothing else, the thread title is accurate. Certainly is. Definitely lacking some Photoshop mock-ups though.
Turkish Posted 28 February, 2013 Posted 28 February, 2013 Certainly is. Definitely lacking some Photoshop mock-ups though. Can i be the first to plead with you not too.

Guy tells me suppliers and retailers are well ****ed off as they have loads of orders for umbro kit but just nothing about! Umbro kits are only being made for the teams who have deals still in place as far as I can tell, which seems to be most of the Republic of Ireland's top division and a chunk of random south american clubs. Nike are almost certainly behind that fulfilment as they'd have taken on the existing contracts in 2007 (and even took over England and Man City's deals entirely as Nike). However, as Nike don't own the Umbro name any more I'd be surprised if they can still produce Umbro Teamwear. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-20075681
The9 Posted 28 February, 2013 Author Posted 28 February, 2013 Can i be the first to plead with you not too. As well as what or whom ? I didn't even do it last season when I saw a photo of a bit of the kit in March...
Saint Garrett Posted 28 February, 2013 Posted 28 February, 2013 Can i be the first to plead with you not too. Why not?! To be fair, if you're not interested then this thread probably isn't for you....
The9 Posted 1 March, 2013 Author Posted 1 March, 2013 (edited) Portland Timbers' 2013/14 shirt shows what Saints might get from a new template using the old school Patrick-like kit (I think their away is actually red and white as well). This is actually the mid-season "big V collar" template first seen with the Spain kit, with the sleeve panels as with the 2012/13 WBA/Stoke/Sunderland templates, but with the massive ugly V collar. Wouldn't look bad if they got rid of the weird "sawtooth/stitching" effect on the edge of stripes. Updated - yes the away is red/white. This reversed with some black on it and no "sawtooth" would look quite decent. Edited 1 March, 2013 by The9
Badger Posted 8 March, 2013 Posted 8 March, 2013 Interesting Estudiantes kit for 2013/14. That's not bad, much improved on the current abortion anyway. I remember a few years ago though, someone on here posted that red sleeves = relegation.
Badger Posted 8 March, 2013 Posted 8 March, 2013 Updated - yes the away is red/white. This reversed with some black on it and no "sawtooth" would look quite decent. Go on then mock up the reverese red/white combination - you know you really want to.
Hatch Posted 8 March, 2013 Posted 8 March, 2013 I want this. We would be the envy of the football world.
doggface Posted 8 March, 2013 Posted 8 March, 2013 If it is confirmed in the close season we have signed with adidas (which seems to be an open secret), it will surely be a decent deal financially.
The9 Posted 8 March, 2013 Author Posted 8 March, 2013 Go on then mock up the reverese red/white combination - you know you really want to. Already done it... doesn't look much cop though.
Pilchards Posted 8 March, 2013 Posted 8 March, 2013 Hey The9 if you want to do a mock up then please do as I love it.
Stoozer Posted 9 March, 2013 Posted 9 March, 2013 Hey The9 if you want to do a mock up then please do as I love it. Me too. Always enjoy the kit speculation threads. They're one of the few which don't descend into squabbles.
The9 Posted 13 March, 2013 Author Posted 13 March, 2013 Here's a Puma striped option from Chesterfield's away kit vote for next season... it's bloody awful.
The9 Posted 13 March, 2013 Author Posted 13 March, 2013 Me too. Always enjoy the kit speculation threads. They're one of the few which don't descend into squabbles. You must have missed the "IT IS STRIPES" "IT'S NOT STRIPES" debate from July/August...
The9 Posted 13 March, 2013 Author Posted 13 March, 2013 If it is confirmed in the close season we have signed with adidas (which seems to be an open secret), it will surely be a decent deal financially. News to me to be honest.
The9 Posted 13 March, 2013 Author Posted 13 March, 2013 Just seen this as well, if we end up with Errea, FFS. I see Brighton have sold their shirt rights to the same company as have their stadium naming rights now...
The9 Posted 13 March, 2013 Author Posted 13 March, 2013 Oh, and even though we almost certainly won't have Umbro shirts next season, they are still churning out the odd shirt for people with unexpired contracts. Like Derry City (you can just about see the reverse of this season's Saints collar).
bender Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 Just seen this as well, if we end up with Errea, FFS. I see Brighton have sold their shirt rights to the same company as have their stadium naming rights now... That w@nker on the left got SRL sent off last season.
The9 Posted 13 March, 2013 Author Posted 13 March, 2013 That w@nker on the left got SRL sent off last season. I am aware of that, still can't believe he didn't get booked for dragging Lambert to the floor. But they had to choose two of Poyet's cheating mob from a bad bunch, and they couldn't use the entirely trustworthy Saint they have on loan as he might not be there next season.
doggface Posted 13 March, 2013 Posted 13 March, 2013 News to me to be honest. Think it is a done deal.
sussexsaint Posted 14 March, 2013 Posted 14 March, 2013 Can anyone remember which kit Gecko had a hand in designing?
