old_southy Posted 23 June, 2013 Share Posted 23 June, 2013 I don't understand why asian supporters that want to support a team in red wouldn't already support Liverpool or Manchester united. If he had some good asian players we would have more of a natural fan base. Americans love spurs because of Dempsey and Friedel not the colour of the shirt.

SW11_Saint Posted 23 June, 2013 Share Posted 23 June, 2013 But just changing to "we are red now" is not doing that. It's probably reducing sales if anything - yes people have striped shirts already, but that's what Saints wear and they'll always shift decent numbers. A one season change will move some people to buy a shirt because "it's different", but do it two seasons in a row and where's the selling point then ? Well said. If we'd have introduced a striped shirt this year (or even a variation on the striped theme) I would have bought 4 - two adults, two kids. For the second year in a row I will be buying zero. Most people I got to SMS with will do likewise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair they also thought the shirts ' un-Saints like' and were not particularly bothered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 23 June, 2013 Author Share Posted 23 June, 2013 (edited) Us? You work for them? "Us" as in the inhabitants of this thread. The consensus ITK so far is that (apart from maybe getting a new store in West Quay), the sales will still be controlled by the club in their stores, plus online. So "available in Sports Direct" would be a significant departure from that. Edited 23 June, 2013 by The9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 23 June, 2013 Author Share Posted 23 June, 2013 (edited) quite like the Philadelphia Union kit, might look smart in red and white 2011/12 template though, same old flashes across at the end of the 3 stripes. The Portland Timbers kits are a more up-to-date reflection of what adidas can do with a "Xerox-style" template.

The9 Posted 23 June, 2013 Author Share Posted 23 June, 2013 Well, the twitter leak has made its way to the site I use for most of my UK kit news : http://www.football-shirts.co.uk/fans/possible-southampton-fc-adidas-red-home-shirt-201314_20513 I think they may have posted a little more of the "we hate stripes" opinion than imagined... namecheckamania for *cough* someone. "Saints fan >, who has been running a thread on Saintsweb forum commented “Most people hate it and want a return to the stripes. There was a poll on Saintsweb a few weeks back where 2/3rds voted for stripes and ‘a plain colour’ was less popular than ‘don’t mind’ “." I'd also like to point out that "running" is not my preferred term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kraken Posted 24 June, 2013 Share Posted 24 June, 2013 Badge is too low compared to the adidas logo, and the blue of it looks weird on red. And they've gone for a massive red sticker as the main sponsor instead of adjusting the stripes of the shirt. Horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 24 June, 2013 Share Posted 24 June, 2013 ...possibly ? Yeah, don't like that. It looks like that shocker of a kit we had when Bale was playing for us with black arms. Highlights the sponsor too much IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southamptonbairn Posted 24 June, 2013 Share Posted 24 June, 2013 If the rumours are true that the kit arrived without the sponsors logo on it due to the uncertainty of the sponsor, here's hoping you can purchase the top without the logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
