Miltonroader07 Posted 24 January, 2013 Posted 24 January, 2013 I still HATE the new kit and want us to respect our heritage next season please
Ewell Posted 24 January, 2013 Posted 24 January, 2013 As much as I hate the red kit there are more important things to worry about. Put it this way it could be worse we could have done a Cardiff!
maysie Posted 24 January, 2013 Posted 24 January, 2013 Can we have a campaign to stop you creating threads?
Turkish Posted 24 January, 2013 Posted 24 January, 2013 I neither pro nor anti. There is a massive grey area where we can decided on each thread and criticse or praise depending on the thread. Most normal people realise this.
The Kraken Posted 24 January, 2013 Posted 24 January, 2013 I'd like to have a campaign to use the white away kit again next season. It's been such a rampaging success this season that a repeat for 2013-14 should surely be the aim of any right-thinking Saints fan.
Spudders Posted 24 January, 2013 Posted 24 January, 2013 I'd like to have a campaign to use the white away kit again next season. It's been such a rampaging success this season that a repeat for 2013-14 should surely be the aim of any right-thinking Saints fan. But with 99.9% of fans already owning a white away kit (what with it being the fastest selling white away kit for the 2012/13 season of all time) they wouldn't get many more sales would they?
RobM Posted 24 January, 2013 Posted 24 January, 2013 We should definitely go back to red and white stripes. I hate this current red strip, with it's stupid white stripes on it.

That's indeed a very good point which I hadn't considered. And what with making sure that the de facto away kit for this season, the yellow one, is not actually on sale, the club would clearly be looking to maximise shirt sales. I need to rethink my campaign.

CB Fry Posted 24 January, 2013 Posted 24 January, 2013 This entire thread sounds like implied criticism of Cortese. I'd like to know what you people criticising are going to do about this. Are you planning a march? A sit in protest? Hijack a Leibherr crane, paint it red and white and drive it to Berne? I'll take it as a given that you will never go to another game. Any criticism of the current board must be backed up with clear demonstrable action, preferably incorporating violence. Otherwise you are just moaners with no conviction. True Saints fans with conviction think everything Cortese has ever done is brilliant.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 24 January, 2013 Posted 24 January, 2013 I neither pro nor anti. There is a massive grey area where we can decided on each thread and criticse or praise dependialong in the thread. Most normal people realise this. I want to campaign against any grey areas on the kit whatsoever please. That would be sh1t and would indicate that Turskatish was correct all along in his hate of Cortese.

This is the third time you have used this in the last two days and i can assure you it gets funnier everytime.
supersonic Posted 24 January, 2013 Posted 24 January, 2013 1. our home kit is red and white stripes 2. when we went "traditional" with the sash not too many complained
Saint Fan CaM Posted 24 January, 2013 Posted 24 January, 2013 This is the third time you have used this in the last two days and i can assure you it gets funnier everytime. I know, its amazing how when a point is made over and over relentlessly, it generally becomes funnier. I knew you would appreciate this truth.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 24 January, 2013 Posted 24 January, 2013 We should definitely go back to red and white stripes. I hate this current red strip, with it's stupid white stripes on it. Like.
SaintRobbie Posted 24 January, 2013 Posted 24 January, 2013 YES! Bring back Saints and get rid of Liverpool! SOS S ave O ur S tripes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stripes just aint Saintly!

True Saints fans with conviction think everything Cortese has ever done is brilliant. We are planning to wave hankies at the next home game but SISA have not announced whether the hankies should be white, red, red & white, white & red or grey. I understand they are holding a poll amongst their membership and the results will be known in 4 days when they have finished counting. They can only manage to count one vote a day. The Cult of Cortese will also be protesting about anything anti Cortese. It will of course be a very short protest because the Cult only exists in certain people's minds and there is nothing that Cortese could possibly do wrong to warrant such a protest.
BlakeySFC Posted 24 January, 2013 Posted 24 January, 2013 I still HATE the new kit and want us to respect our heritage next season please :lol: :lol:
Horton Heath Saint Posted 24 January, 2013 Posted 24 January, 2013 I' ve SUPPORTED Saints since 1965' Stripes and black shorts, sooner the better.
Avenue Saint Posted 24 January, 2013 Posted 24 January, 2013 We need a campaign to clean up this saints web shop of smelly skates.
Viking Warrior Posted 24 January, 2013 Posted 24 January, 2013 Yes . Plus can we get a campaign medal if we join the campaign
SW11_Saint Posted 24 January, 2013 Posted 24 January, 2013 Don't start a debate on this - you'll just get a load of idiots telling you how wearing a Liverpool kit "takes us to the next level"...
Golac's Cunning Stunts Posted 24 January, 2013 Posted 24 January, 2013 Wearing a Liverpool kit takes us to the next level
Chewy Posted 25 January, 2013 Posted 25 January, 2013 Maybe the Liverpool kit explains why all their transfer targets end up here? Better keep it.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 25 January, 2013 Posted 25 January, 2013 Week after week, 30,000 people sung their manager's name to show what a good job he was doing & that he should keep his job & that didn't work. So I doubt a campaign about our kit would be listened to!!
Turkish Posted 25 January, 2013 Posted 25 January, 2013 Wasn't there a thread a while back with loads of statistics telling us how team who play in red are more successful? Who can remember all the scientific research and stats about this?
Bearsy Posted 25 January, 2013 Posted 25 January, 2013 Wasn't there a thread a while back with loads of statistics telling us how team who play in red are more successful? Who can remember all the scientific research and stats about this? I dunno bout Scientific Datas but when you has two local rivals the team who picks red always ends up more bigger and successful: Man Utd > Man City Arsenal > Tottenham Liverpool > Everton Southampton > Portsmouth Bristol City > Bristol Rovers Erm. Think thats bout it.
Miltonaggro Posted 25 January, 2013 Posted 25 January, 2013 History is on our side. Napoleonic Wars: Britain - red kit France - blue kit Rorke's Drift (replay aet): Britain - red kit Zulus - skins QED...
dronskisaint Posted 25 January, 2013 Posted 25 January, 2013 Yay.... I guessed right again. 5 points Gloat on the difficult ones though
dubai_phil Posted 25 January, 2013 Posted 25 January, 2013 Maybe the Liverpool kit explains why all their transfer targets end up here? Better keep it. ^this
Travelling Saint Posted 25 January, 2013 Posted 25 January, 2013 Bring back red and white stripes and black shorts.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 25 January, 2013 Posted 25 January, 2013 Maybe the Liverpool kit explains why all their transfer targets end up here? Better keep it. Our previous manager has a Liverpudlian accent too, which really helped the illusion too. Was this not thought about before he was asked to leave??
The9 Posted 25 January, 2013 Posted 25 January, 2013 Wasn't there a thread a while back with loads of statistics telling us how team who play in red are more successful? Who can remember all the scientific research and stats about this? Yes there was, and it's basically a load of guff. If you take the number of teams who wear red compared to other colours and work out their level of success, it's actually lower than wearing other colours. Even though there are lots of successful red teams, there are also lots of unsuccessful ones. I'm not linking the bleeding document again, even though it's in my favourites.
Professor Posted 25 January, 2013 Posted 25 January, 2013 Last two years the kit worked well. The sash was for good historic reasons and last year the retention of extra white when the stripes came back worked like a transitional phase back from the sash. But the move to predominently red has made the team not look like the Saints. No doubt marketing considerations will carry the most weight for next season, one of which will be that the kit will be changed again. Hopefuilly it will be to stripes but I doubt that the views of the fans will be a factor in the decision.
Shroppie Posted 25 January, 2013 Posted 25 January, 2013 Something bizarre and non-stripy please do that I can carry on wearing my old classic stripes as a protest.
hutch Posted 25 January, 2013 Posted 25 January, 2013 Our previous manager has a Liverpudlian accent too' date=' which really helped the illusion too. Was this not thought about before he was asked to leave??[/quote'] It was. Next season we'll be playing in red and blue stripes.

Shroppie Posted 25 January, 2013 Posted 25 January, 2013 It was. Next season we'll be playing in red and blue stripes. Carefully secreted in our kitbag over the last couple of days.
mirrorcarp Posted 25 January, 2013 Posted 25 January, 2013 The red kit is Gulys fault. Next season we will be playing in samba yellow.
Huffton Posted 25 January, 2013 Posted 25 January, 2013 As much as I hate the red kit there are more important things to worry about. Put it this way it could be worse we could have done a Cardiff! What, and play in red?

Think thats bout it. Red Cardiff > Blue Cardiff
charlie saint Posted 25 January, 2013 Posted 25 January, 2013 All the people who feel strongly that Saints should play their home games in red and white stripes/black shorts should start a highly visible and vocal campaign in favour of the Liverpool strip. It's the only way to be sure and, I'd have thought, obvious.
diggers Posted 25 January, 2013 Posted 25 January, 2013 I don't like the kit but if Mr Cortese says we've got to have it then there's no point in protesting or having a campaign, it might damage our chances of staying in this league...move on
