I would love it to be this one..... Love it! Return of the stripes, hopefully not for a return to the championship.

Having been off SWF for a little while I wondered what the latest speculation was as to next season's kit. I had to go to page five of the threads to finds this. What the fook is wrong with you people? This thread would have been in the top half of page one since January over the past five seasons or so.

 

Or have you got something more interesting to talk about of late?

Adidas with a new joint Saints & Adidas Megastore in West Quay. You heard it here first!

[ozzmeister]

Am I the only one who quite likes the pinstripes?

[doubleonothing]

Rickie with a Nike undershirt yesterday? Nike NZ shirt on show yesterday......

 

Yup, you guessed it. A complete non-runner of a story.

 

(but if it turns out we end up with a Nike deal, then I will take credit for breaking it)

Been mentioned a few times already!

[for_heaven's_Saint]

Been mentioned a few times already!

 

You heard it here, second, third, fourth or fifth!

[ToreSF]

No, I like it too, but it should only be for one season.

[doggface]

Maybe! The question now is will they give us something dull & generic like stoke, Sunderland or something more bespoke ie Chelsea, Bolton, Swansea, mls etc??

the white kit then?

are any Adidas kits good? They always look far too busy IMO.

[doggface]

Chez google image the teams I mentioned, I will let you be the judge.

 

Am sad we are leaving the one last British kit brand but excited to see what probably the biggest brand in world football can do with us.

 

Desperately hoping for a saints adidas originals range, but usually for the huge clubs only.

Pochettino gave a pre-match press conference (before Reading) in a blue #shudder Nike hoodie.

 

Just saying.

[saintrich]

Aren't umbro being bought out by Nike? So that's what we'll have? or is the umbro deal ending?

[Saint Garrett]

I see Jordan Sibley also tweeted something to do with Adidas tonight.

Think he needs a quiet word about the choice of colour scheme here.

[BlakeySFC]

As one of the few on this forum who actually like the current pinstripe kit I wouldn't be overly fussed if there was a similar design in place for next season.

 

If we do go back to stripes next season I hope that it isn't just the generic stripes of 08-10 or 05/06 and something a bit different, similar to the mock-ups found previously in this thread.

 

I think we've got two choices: Generic Nike Kit (see Barnsley and Everton) or Generic Adidas (Stoke, WBA, Sunderland) realistically.

 

Personally, I feel the generic Adidas designs look better than the generic Nike designs so I'd marginally prefer them over Nike.

[trousers]

next seasons kit will have some big changes

 

My PM box is open and receptive

[trousers]

next seasons kit will have some big changes

 

"Big changes" to our current strip (e.g. back to stripes) or "big changes" as in "something completely different to what we've ever had before"?

 

cheers

[Saint Garrett]

next seasons kit will have some big changes

 

You cant just say that !!!

[SO16_Saint]

From what I've heard there will be some significant changes.

[Saint Garrett]

In what way ?

[ToreSF]

In what way ?

 

We will play in blue :-(

[Chez]

Seeing as the Adidas brand is all about the three stripes you can bet your bottom dollar that a return to stripes theme will be flogged to death

[LGTL]

New badge I reckon.

[Baldbarbarian]

New badge I reckon.

 

NC's face on the badge with a halo?

[doggface]

Spill the beans bridgey u tease!

[dubai_phil]

From what I've heard there will be some significant changes.

[100%Red&White]

Isn't the 'apr' sponsorship up?

[Saint Garrett]

Isn't the 'apr' sponsorship up?

 

Good to see they've made an everlasting impression ......It's aap!!

[SO16_Saint]

Good to see they've made an everlasting impression ......It's aap!!

 

Haha!! Technically it's aap3

[hypochondriac]

Haha!! Technically it's aap3

 

Care to enlighten us about if it is big changes from the usual design or big changes from what we have now?

[Bananaman]

apparently it has a large heart on the front with the 'ty' logo

[studentsaint]

Who exactly do you know bridgey? I'm not familiar with what insight you've given before, are your sources solid?

[Delboy Dave]

Bridgey do you want my log in details so you can post what you know under my name so that way you don't lose your source? (Unless said source see's this post then said plan is ruined!) let me know by some sort of coded smoke signals! Hash tag winkwink

Aren't umbro being bought out by Nike? So that's what we'll have? or is the umbro deal ending?

 

Umbro got bought by Nike about 3 years ago, Nike took over their decent contracts and sold the name on last December, and our Umbro contract ends after this season anyway.

[The9]

In what way ?

 

Given that the current kit isn't striped, I'd be hopeful that that would be one of them. Also, we couldn't get a new Umbro deal even if we wanted to, and logically we'll want to move away from the limited distribution deal we have as well.

 

Which reminds me, there have been a few new kit launches since I've been on holiday :

 

Bayern 3rd kit :

 

Hammarby (vaguely striped Kappa) :

 

The aap3 deal runs for one more season, so unless we've found a big sponsor to pay them off, we'll still be with them.

[WinchesterSaint]

Back to stripes and a different sponsor I reckon.

[BlakeySFC]

Very interesting.

 

Can see the away kit being Silver/Grey/Black with the Black and Silver SFC logo used on the Official Twitter account/reception at St. Mary's, and maybe a new sponsor if we can compensate aap3.
