Doesn't Bridgey have links with AAP3, maybe thats how he knows about the possible new kit.

 

or more likely, I have imagined the whole thing.

He works for them doesn't he ? Does their twitter if you look at the account.

 

Yep, looks like the same guy...makes the 'info' hes received even more interesting and gives it a hell of alot more credibility.

Imagine if we saw a change of badge and colours....

 

As with 2010 and 2012 respectively under Cortese ? Never happen. :D

Bridgey... Can you at least confirm that our home kit is keeping with the red/white colour theme and we are not doing a 'Cardiff'?

Good detective work! Now understand the secrecy.

 

makes sense. Adidas would present sfc with designs, sfc pick one but aap3 have to sign it off (probably already have).

 

Imo I think colours will be the same as usual but incorporating more white. I doubt stripes are back yet.

 

Rank Xerox anyone? That is the one left yet to imitate.

The sponsor should change if nothing else - the deal with aap3 is up at the end if this season - and Saints have actively been looking for a new shirt sponsor.

 

That's not to say aap3 wont renew if Saints can't find another sponsor.

aap3 deal runs till 2014. This is only second season of the deal.

Isn't the 'apr' sponsorship up?

 

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

 

:) Yeah, bit of a schoolboy error and was 3 posts and out!

 

Reckon we'll be going all big global brand on our shiny new shirts..........................'apr' is a plumbing firm in Oxford!

Had a thought last night watching the Spuds match: IF we are switching to Adidas and IF we are going to have something completely different from before, how about a variation of the Basel shirt - red and white halves?

 

(Don't a clue how to mock one up but here is a pic of their red/blue halves)

Fair play you'r only going on IFs but god I hope not! I honestly don't see the issue with proper red and white stripes.

 

Quite liked some of the examples posted above, the retro adidas and strangely the nike in particular, and I feel that if pishing around is to be done it'd be best done with the away kit.

 

That and when we have our triumphant march on Europe we could always have a "third" kit again. The red and white back about eight or ten years (im sure somebody will correct me!) was alrite for me.

If that's the route we go I'll be very surprised if it's not very similar to that Portland Timbers shirt earlier on the thread.

 

Also, that Basel shirt is a 2012/13 template, even if we had halves the style won't be like that.

The all red thing might not appeal so much to Don Cortese when Cardiff get promoted.

 

If either Sunderland or Stoke go down then the branding case for red and white stripes improves.

 

Personally think a Rank Xerox homage covers all bases.

It would make sense. Red & white stripes are what the majority of fans want to see, but I'm not sure if they're what the majority want to buy. Doing something different encourages more sales. A Rank Xerox style kit would be a great choice IMO, and also be a nod to heritage while offering something different to keep the commercial interest going.

Agreed. Time for the Rank Xerox/Air Florida remix kit. Legendary Saints kit and the one everyone thinks of when they think of Saints

 

This is still my all time favourite Saints shirt, so would love it to make a comeback.

 

And if only we could finish 2nd again while wearing it............ (by the way, NO, I don't think there is the remotest possibility of this happening...)

This is the Timbers kit I'm referring to : yhst-128935258516932_2253_54791

 

I like this, but we need the reverse image, ie white front panel and red sides to match the RX kit. That would also look better with black shorts, as per the original.

 

Just out of interest, do Rank Xerox still exist anymore, or Air Florida for that matter?

Maybe but Saints having been looking around for a new shirt sponsor so maybe aap3 want out early - and Saints can probably get more money elsewhere with a bigger and better sponsor

 

Also from what I hear I don't think we are going back to red and white stripes with the shirt

Had a thought about this bich links with the silver crest. If Addidas are to make the kit maybe we will have all silver sponsor, 3 stripes etc like Chelsea have all gold on their kit.

 

Then again. Maybe not

I grew up with the Rank Xerox kit, the centenary kit which was all red and then the Hummell Denmark effort - Saints haven't always only been red and white stripes in my eyes.

Yeah, I've already mocked one up, but thanks to Turkish's baiting, I'm not uploading it. So you can all be furious with him now. ;)

That's as maybe, but to do that aap3 would need to agree to be bought out of the final year of the deal.

awh.. go on 9er... give us a look mate.

I really hope we go with an 'Ajax style' kit. Either the timbers above or the reverse

Obviously BS but some interesting designs

 

Thanks for those mock up's Saint_Donovan, I know nobody has commented on what must of took you a few hours.

 

Good job and keep it up.

 

 

PS the NIKE one is best.

I think it's more a case of aap3 would willingly give it up - they probably didn't budget for promotion to the Premier League and as a business-to-business brand I don't really see what they get out of it

Depends how the contract is worded at the end of the day. I guess break clauses can be inserted which allow one or the other party to break or indeed both.

That is lush.

 

I fear one detail would be wrong. Therefore I doubt that concept has any basis in fact. All the same though, thumbs resoundingly up!

Like the concept. It will be adidas.The sponsor will not change.I doubt the badge will change (other than the colour possibly)I doubt it will be stripes.

Both horrible (too much white) and the 2012/13 season's template.

 

PS This is what I'm referring to : saints_adidas_20130413_1619591245.jpg

 

 

Looks more like a training top to me

 

Agree with both of above comments.

 

But would still like a return to the KK era kit, if not conventional stripes.

 

The Portland Timbers kit looks the favourite option to date. Out of interest does this have a contrast panel on the reverse as well, or is it a plain back ?
