doubleonothing Posted 20 June, 2013 Share Posted 20 June, 2013 Please say that is a training shirt! Didn't like this years kit, a it didn't feel like watching Saints. Stripes, Rank Xerox, Quarters, Sash but not all red! If the away is black and gold it won't be too bad and would tie in with the Lotus rumour. But gold and red? Not for me!

Saint Garrett Posted 20 June, 2013 Share Posted 20 June, 2013 I can't think of a worse kit that would have been red than just a plain red shirt with Adidas stripes on the arms. Utter ****. We're Southampton, we're not Bristol city, Swindon, Crewe, Middlesbrough, Liverpool, we're Southampton and we play in stripes ffs!!!

SW11_Saint Posted 20 June, 2013 Share Posted 20 June, 2013 Fine as a training top. ****ing horrible as a kit. If this is really it, and I hate to say I suspect it probaly is iI despair. I made a joke recently that Cortese had a hard on for 80's Liverpool last year, this year it will probably be Bayern Munich. Hadn't realised I was right. Regardless, he's clearly hell bent on erasing any link with out traditional livery. Horrible. Just f@@king horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgehog Posted 20 June, 2013 Share Posted 20 June, 2013 If we are not going to go back to a shirt with stripes, why not go the whole hog a bit like Cardiff, and change the colour completely, why not go with green or yellow as our home kit?

I heard this rather ridiculous argument last year too. "We can't possibly wear red and white stripes, we'll get 'confused' with Sunderland and Stoke, we need to differentiate ourselves". WTF?!? We're Saints - we play in red & white stripes and black shorts. Be proud of it and wear them with pride. Why would anyone need to change from their traditional kit? (and doesn't all red just 'confuse' us with Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal?? We need to differentiate ourselves!!! Or maybe Cortese thinks being confused with that lot makes us a bigger, better, club).

The9 Posted 20 June, 2013 Author Share Posted 20 June, 2013 Anyone else noticed the blurred out liver bird on the collar? Photoshop job, f'sure. That's not our kit guys - stand down. I'm afraid you are wrong. Every element of that horrendously poor shirt is as it's been described on this thread already - including the fcking TERRIBLE gold badge which someone mentioned fairly recently. Christ, I've all but mocked it up already, other than the sh1tty badge. There's no "liver bird", I don't even know what you think is a liver bird, and Liverpool don't even wear adidas, and don't have a kit that looks like that. If you mean the inside of the shirt, that's an adidas equipment logo along with the size information for various continents. You can see it here on the Chelsea kit : It is a 2013/14 style, has the cheap teamwear collar, the pointless white sleeve pieces (which I took great trouble to eradicate from the template I used because they were so nasty I figured no-one could possibly choose it), the ugly gold badge (which at least will look great on the black away), even the new 2013/14 climacool logo bottom right corner. The training tops are all a completely different style and have been the same for every adidas club so far, so it's not one of those. That is a terrible, awful, boring, ugly, poorly designed, un-Saintslike shirt and whoever thought it was a good idea should be hung... in effigy. We are a low-totem parks-level teamwear effort with a badge tacked on. Ugh. Based on what we've heard on here already, I'd say that was 95% the actual shirt (minus the sponsor). It is always possible it's a late version of a sample, but there's a tag on it, so suspect not. Oh well, gives me £47 to spend on something else. Maybe a nice traditional amber Newport County shirt.

The9 Posted 20 June, 2013 Author Share Posted 20 June, 2013 Nigeria playing in a green version of that now on BBC3 and with collars. Nigeria are playing in a green version of the 3 year old Paraguay kit... or 2 year old Stoke kit. It's also the same as the 2012 New England Revolution shirt they're still wearing. There aren't any current templates (that I can recall) with a solid single colour the full length of the side of the shirt, only templates which came out over a year ago. Adidas operate on a 1 year rotation for almost all their teams, random international ones usually being the exception, and they NEVER give out old templates to teams getting new kits.

The9 Posted 20 June, 2013 Author Share Posted 20 June, 2013 It's not the left one, you can see where the white stops on the sleeve is where the underarm "arrow" bit on the shirt goes, and the material in that area is red - even if you can't actually see the "arrow" shape. That badge in gold on red looks bloody awful too, and I bet we'll be having gold numbers on the back now as well, such an "ideas above your station/new money" Pompey-type thing to do.
