Hatch Posted 18 April, 2013 Posted 18 April, 2013 I expect the decision would have been made months ago. So bit late now, maybe vote for the next kit.
eelpie Posted 18 April, 2013 Posted 18 April, 2013 The current red kit is the best for years and looks great on the pitch. Much smarter than the old fashioned red and white stripes and black shorts, historical as that may be. This is a new era. We are now a new exciting Saints heading for Europe and need a modern look.

At the start of the season I would have shouted you down for this, but now I agree...
Noodles34 Posted 18 April, 2013 Posted 18 April, 2013 Can someone organise a vote? Jesus, you really need to get out more.
stevy777_x Posted 18 April, 2013 Posted 18 April, 2013 I love this year's kit, actually makes a nice change, the red color is not the same as Liverpool's. With already 2 teams going with red and white stripes (Stoke and Sunderland), I am less inclined to revert back to that. A new area, new ambitions, new identity and a new strip.

One of them may be missing next year, whilst another "new red" team, Cardiff, comes up. I am all for Addidas giving us an inverted Ajax top with black shorts, hence re-creating the Rank Xerox kit.

What a load of balls. Bring back the stripes.
ant Posted 18 April, 2013 Posted 18 April, 2013 Was a fan of the current kit from the day it was announced and it's only grown on me more as I've watched us play in it. The photo of Lambert's celebration after scoring at The Etihad has become quite iconic, if we'd held them at bay it'd rank as an all-time classic.
Mr Saints Posted 18 April, 2013 Posted 18 April, 2013 I think this season's kit looks cheap and tacky. Back to stripes next season I hope.

Legod Third Coming Posted 18 April, 2013 Posted 18 April, 2013 Ah yes, I can see Nicola responding well to democracy...
Charlie Wayman Posted 18 April, 2013 Posted 18 April, 2013 Nothing wrong with our Swiss kit for another season. I like it and stripes look outmoded and the strip of choice by goofball football clubs heading for the trap door. No association with failure for me.
Dan Posted 18 April, 2013 Posted 18 April, 2013 Stripes please, that's what we play in. Along with a yellow and blue away kit.
Patrick Bateman Posted 18 April, 2013 Posted 18 April, 2013 No. Black shorts now looks so 1990s daarhlings ... look at Sunderland, vile. Look at Saints, classy.
Barry the Badger Posted 18 April, 2013 Posted 18 April, 2013 Would like it to stay red and white but other than that I am not too bothered, really not fussed about traditional stripes. Would happily see us make the sash our own. I expect though that we will get radically different designs each year as that's the best way to maximise sales.
alpine_saint Posted 18 April, 2013 Posted 18 April, 2013 Stripes are boring. Bring back the sash. No objection from me, but not too fond of the white shorts looking back.
krissyboy31 Posted 18 April, 2013 Posted 18 April, 2013 No objection from me, but not too fond of the white shorts looking back. The shirt was great but didn't like the rest of the kit.
Chez Posted 18 April, 2013 Posted 18 April, 2013 use the white kit as the home kit next season. Hate the red version, love the white.
Chez Posted 18 April, 2013 Posted 18 April, 2013 No. Black shorts now looks so 1990s daarhlings ... look at Sunderland, vile. Look at Saints, classy. bring back the navy blue shorts.
scotty Posted 18 April, 2013 Posted 18 April, 2013 bring back the navy blue shorts....... ........knee-length.
Joensuu Posted 18 April, 2013 Posted 18 April, 2013 This season's kit isn't as awful as many make out. IMO it's okay, but nothing special. Clean stripes would be an improvement (not the messy Sanderson type chevron-stripes we had in the 90s though, they were awful). The two shirts I liked best were the Sash and the Air Florida. Either of those returning would be superb.
doggface Posted 18 April, 2013 Posted 18 April, 2013 As hatch said, it's way too late. it is what it is decided months ago. Lets see what adidas and saints have in store. I doubt it will be stripes but I would welcome their return.
del boy Posted 18 April, 2013 Posted 18 April, 2013 Can someone organise a vote? Are you implying that the cash generation units have some say in how their resources are utilised? - I dont think the project is managed like that
Fan The Flames Posted 18 April, 2013 Posted 18 April, 2013 The current kit looks great on Sky and it goes well with a pair of jeans. More importantly I hear the Asian fans love it.
Legod Third Coming Posted 18 April, 2013 Posted 18 April, 2013 Serious note. No club in red and white stripes has ever excelled at the very top level - Europe. Us, Sunderland, Stoke, Sheffield United. All perennial underachievers. By contrast since 76 look at the success of teams in red: Liverpool, Nottingham Forest, Manchester United, Bayern Munich... There is some psychology going on here. Teams can't cope when the opposition plays in red.

Hatch Posted 18 April, 2013 Posted 18 April, 2013 2 of the last 3 winners of the Europa league play in red and white stripes

All perennial underachievers. By contrast since 76 look at the success of teams in red: Liverpool, Nottingham Forest, Manchester United, Bayern Munich... There is some psychology going on here. Teams can't cope when the opposition plays in red. So we should be in all white then? Or red and blue stripes. Or blue and black. Red and black. Wait, what about black and white? This psychology thing is complicated... I mean, I'm sure it can't be the much simpler explanation that Man United, Bayern Munich and Liverpool are much bigger clubs with better players than Southampton, Stoke and Sunderland. Far more likely to be the colour of the top they're wearing. When does the era of european domination start for Walsall?
Jimmy_D Posted 18 April, 2013 Posted 18 April, 2013 Heh, you jest, there have actually been studies on this sort of psychology. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18344128
wightman35 Posted 18 April, 2013 Posted 18 April, 2013 I think that this year's kit looks great on the team and the shirt as casual wear (For the young ones only!!) is stylish in my opinion. Stripes do look just a bit last century.
The9 Posted 18 April, 2013 Posted 18 April, 2013 Can someone organise a vote? If you did it now, I reckon you'd be at least 2 months late to influence the decision.

I completely disagree with everything you have said.
SaintJackoInHurworth Posted 18 April, 2013 Posted 18 April, 2013 We are not Forest, we are not Liverpool, WE ARE SOUTHAMPTON!!!! Red and White STRIPES all the way - I will NOT buy a Southampton kit again until it is Red and White Stripes. If they abandon stripes I will continue to wear the numerous red and white kits that I have already got - I will save myself some money and the club will lose out on it. Simple as that! As for shorts - No to Red shorts, Yes to black shorts. Also I continue to be a fan of maintaining some black trim. Both of these factors are what makes us distinct from Sunderland and Stoke. Red and whites stripes with black and white trim (and possibly some extra red trim too like in the 70s kit) is a distinct Southampton look.
Delboy Dave Posted 18 April, 2013 Posted 18 April, 2013 Yeah i'd like that too. Am fed up with the yellow away strip though would like to see something like this. They are mother fuggin sexy!
Hamilton Saint Posted 19 April, 2013 Posted 19 April, 2013 The current red kit is the best for years and looks great on the pitch. Much smarter than the old fashioned red and white stripes and black shorts, historical as that may be. This is a new era. We are now a new exciting Saints heading for Europe and need a modern look. I strongly disagree. We've had a change for a couple of years. Now it's time to get back to the red-and-white stripes and black shorts - as a definitive message that says, "Hey, we're back, and we're here to stay!"
Barry Sanchez Posted 19 April, 2013 Posted 19 April, 2013 Why dont we do a Athletico Madrid type kit, thats a sweet number.
BlakeySFC Posted 19 April, 2013 Posted 19 April, 2013 (edited) Ive corrected your post for you: I love this year's kit, actually makes a nice change, the red colour is not the same as Liverpool's.

alpine_saint Posted 19 April, 2013 Posted 19 April, 2013 Yeah i'd like that too. Am fed up with the yellow away strip though would like to see something like this. Maybe have the red coming more onto the front, but could live with the home version deffo. Dont like the away version colours, we'd loose our players in the crowd a la the Manyoo butt-f**king. A blue-light blue version as in the Patrick era would look interesting.
DorsetSaint17 Posted 19 April, 2013 Posted 19 April, 2013 Yeah bring back the red and white stripes back next year, this kit feels so unsaints like.
