hypochondriac Posted 16 May, 2013 Posted 16 May, 2013 Looks like the cat is out the bag anyway... Adidas Solid Red home kit. Black and Gold away kit. Will there be no white at all? FFS they really do want to turn us into Liverpool.
Tom28 Posted 16 May, 2013 Posted 16 May, 2013 There's a little bit of white. I like them both. Very smart.
Colinjb Posted 16 May, 2013 Posted 16 May, 2013 There's a little bit of white. I like them both. Very smart. I'm sure they are both smart, but whether they are something you look at and think, "That's Saints...." is another matter. Looks as though I better keep trying to get used to the red.

BlakeySFC Posted 16 May, 2013 Posted 16 May, 2013 Looks like the cat is out the bag anyway... Adidas Solid Red home kit. Black and Gold away kit. Interesting. Didn't someone say Tom28 is Glasgow on a wind-up though?
St Chalet Posted 16 May, 2013 Posted 16 May, 2013 Interesting. Didn't someone say Tom28 is Glasgow on a wind-up though? I don't think so.
BlakeySFC Posted 16 May, 2013 Posted 16 May, 2013 I don't think so. Fair enough. I think I got confused because Tom28 put something about Cortese's situation on the Cortese Thread and everyone was saying something about Glasgow being involved in something or another.
doggface Posted 16 May, 2013 Posted 16 May, 2013 @ Tom v neck, crew or collar? any idea on shorts & socks?
BlakeySFC Posted 17 May, 2013 Posted 17 May, 2013 Reading between the lines, if Tom and Saintquinn's information is correct then I reckon the 'arrows' are white and under the arms (similar to the black arrow bits on the Werder Bremen away shirt)... The plot thickens....has the design suddenly been green-lit by Cortese et al. is that why this info has suddenly been released?
doggface Posted 17 May, 2013 Posted 17 May, 2013 I don't think that has anything to do with it. Hold up would be small details I imagine. No info has been released by the club, just small leaks as we get every year!
doggface Posted 17 May, 2013 Posted 17 May, 2013 @ the9. Can you do a mock up of the wollfsberg without the sash pls? & the reverse using the black and gold. Perhaps white badge on the home and gold on the away??
Saints boy in Leeds Posted 17 May, 2013 Posted 17 May, 2013 We are starting to lose our identity IMO, why change it up from Stripes, that's who we are !

Webby Posted 17 May, 2013 Posted 17 May, 2013 Now THAT looks like a bog standard training kit. Rubbish.
The9 Posted 17 May, 2013 Author Posted 17 May, 2013 There are a couple of adidas templates with the chevron underarm effect at the moment - that's the same as the Chelsea one so could be an option. Or it could be the same as the Toronto home :
The9 Posted 17 May, 2013 Author Posted 17 May, 2013 This was the Chelsea leak - same style as the Toronto one though the actual kit didn't have the white flashes, and also the sleeve is diagonal as with the teamweat above, not squared off :
The9 Posted 17 May, 2013 Author Posted 17 May, 2013 Either way, yeah if it's plain red it's going to be incredibly dull and I suspect there will be more of a "stripes" campaign this time around.
The9 Posted 17 May, 2013 Author Posted 17 May, 2013 The other thing to note is that the training kit has a "join" across the chest, whilst the Chelsea shirt (and presumably most other pro shirts) doesn't. Though I've already posted a Japanese one that does have the "join".
The9 Posted 17 May, 2013 Author Posted 17 May, 2013 Incidentally, for "solid red", not even any pinstripes like the Wolfsburg home on the previous page ?

Though I've already posted a Japanese one that does have the "join". The Chelsea home is the same style as the black Stoke away, fwiw, just with the colour panels not contrasting.

The9 Posted 17 May, 2013 Author Posted 17 May, 2013 Are kit designers generally getting worse? Because it really seems that way. I think the (three-ish) adidas templates this year are generally quite nice (even the "big V" works in some incarnations), though they are very plain and exactly the sort of generic stuff adidas have been getting slated for in the past few years. However, some of the twists on the standard template are nice. The Sounders have a blended stripe effect on their lime green thing, Wolfsburg have that sash on the white kit, and the Montreal home pattern tips a hat to late 80s adidas retro style. Ours for example MIGHT have had a nice little Saints crest printed on or woven into the fabric to make it less templatey, or a pinstripe, or some shadow stripes. Though the Chelsea one has shadow stripes, Wolfsburg away has pinstripes and the Stoke one is just plain. So the "plain style but with design quirks" actually works quite well for me, when they've made an effort. None of that makes the blindest bit of difference to me if it's not bloody stripes though.
Saints foreva Posted 17 May, 2013 Posted 17 May, 2013 There are a couple of adidas templates with the chevron underarm effect at the moment - that's the same as the Chelsea one so could be an option. Or it could be the same as the Toronto home : That's hideous. Hopefully all these rumours are false and we return to our stripes. They are our identity after all.
corky morris Posted 17 May, 2013 Posted 17 May, 2013 Not that the club give a flying f u c k what i think, but please can we have our stripes back!!!!
EBS1980 Posted 17 May, 2013 Posted 17 May, 2013 Just needs a nice thick white stripe down the middle now :-)
sussexsaint Posted 17 May, 2013 Posted 17 May, 2013 I quite like that Toronto mock up, may be alone but the more I look the more it grows on me, depends how big those white arrows are remember we have had some similar kits before
doggface Posted 17 May, 2013 Posted 17 May, 2013 I liked the Toronto kit. Least it has a bit of identity and looks quite smart. If you're going plain red it can still be interesting. It's Man Utd and City that get me, just the same old blue or red tshirt effectively. I did think when we got a red kit though it must be permanent. You can't completely change a kit 4 years in a row and have no identity. I'd rather have stuck with the sash but there we go. Needs to be a non-white away kit though, that current one is nice but has barely been worn. Toronto Shirt is very nice - my brother in law has one. I would be happy with that template but non too keen on that teamwear one above (like the stoke away). Bland is not the word!
itchen_dan Posted 17 May, 2013 Posted 17 May, 2013 Here's what i did last night just after the 'leaks' came out. Let's see how long these take to find their way to Twitter and be thrown around as 'next seasons home and away kit' like last seasons ones i created did!
hypochondriac Posted 17 May, 2013 Posted 17 May, 2013 Good work. I mean the kits are ridiculously bland and boring, but you made them look real. Look even more like a Liverpool kit.
itchen_dan Posted 17 May, 2013 Posted 17 May, 2013 (edited) Used the Toronto idea of a embroidered shadow pattern and came up with this. Too much? Edited 17 May, 2013 by itchen_dan

Let's see how long these take to find their way to Twitter and be thrown around as 'next seasons home and away kit' like last seasons ones i created did! The black one looks great, love the use of the silver crest on that - I've got a feeling that will be used this year on a shirt, as it's being used more and more in media. not sure on the Red one though. Stripes no more it seems. Oh well

S-Clarke Posted 17 May, 2013 Posted 17 May, 2013 There are stripes - but just on the sleeves! Wouldn't say they're ''our'' stripes though, more so the Adidas branding!
The9 Posted 17 May, 2013 Author Posted 17 May, 2013 (edited) Here's one without the black bits, looks like a Forest or Charlton kit. Edited 17 May, 2013 by The9

Let's see how long these take to find their way to Twitter and be thrown around as 'next seasons home and away kit' like last seasons ones i created did! Tom28 said black and gold for the away, though I can see why you'd go with silver. Of course there are Prem numbers in gold, so that would make a bit of sense. Template is a little bit off though isn't it ? Adidas Stripes are way too far down the arms. I haven't used these templates since my laptop blew up a year or so ago, can't be bothered to re-download them all ! Is there another one for the Stoke away/Chelsea home kits with the diagonal section on the sleeves ? Says me who's just chucked up a half-assed colour-wash tweak.
warsash saint Posted 17 May, 2013 Posted 17 May, 2013 If these are kits, can I change my vote in the 'Cortese to stay' thread?

Let's see how long these take to find their way to Twitter and be thrown around as 'next seasons home and away kit' like last seasons ones i created did! Well done. Excellent mock ups. I'd take those. A decent compromise on the all red look. Be interesting to see the underarm white bits go all the way down though.

Be interesting to see the underarm white bits go all the way down though. Would be interesting but none of the adidas kits I've seen have got that, and that template doesn't allow for it, the bottom of the "arrow" is a seam from the back of the shirt.

The current Swansea kit is white and gold so maybe our away will just be a black version of that? Plus it also looks like it has seams that go all the way down on each side, curving round to the front.
Webby Posted 17 May, 2013 Posted 17 May, 2013 Another Black and Gold Adidas kit: And a white and gold, with sash: I know these are older templates but interesting to see the gold decal. I quite like the Swansea/Real Madrid kits.
Badger Posted 17 May, 2013 Posted 17 May, 2013 Another Black and Gold Adidas kit: I know these are older templates but interesting to see the gold decal. I quite like the Swansea/Real Madrid kits. Please no not another plain black kit, no matter how it is 'trimmed' and dressed up, its awful and uninspiring. Every team now must have had this strip, its becoming the new 'yellow and blue' for predictability. Also "gold", are we correct in assuming "gold", as opposed to an "old gold" or amber, with black ?

Brilliant work, love the away, would be happy with the home. I wouldn't mind doing some designs myself, what are you using and can it be done on a mac?
doggface Posted 17 May, 2013 Posted 17 May, 2013 @ itchen dan, can you do the away in Gold instead of silver/white pls?
