Horton Heath Saint Posted 1 May, 2013 Posted 1 May, 2013 Lets go back to Saints stripes please and not that hideous Liverpool all red.
CB Fry Posted 1 May, 2013 Posted 1 May, 2013 It is stripes this season. Cortese said so. The Cult can see the stripes. Join them.
Dig Dig Posted 1 May, 2013 Posted 1 May, 2013 Jackanory was on here mugging you right off earlier, Horton Heath Saint
Badger Posted 1 May, 2013 Posted 1 May, 2013 Lets go back to Saints stripes please and not that hideous Liverpool all red. Will black and gold stripes do for you ?
SNSUN Posted 1 May, 2013 Posted 1 May, 2013 You can't please everybody all the time. FWIW I don't mind the current kit - yes we're traditionally stripes, and hopefully we'll see them again, but the odd change is OK. My favourite strip was the sash, for instance.
del boy Posted 1 May, 2013 Posted 1 May, 2013 Lets go back to Saints stripes please and not that hideous Liverpool all red. It will be whatever the brand Stasi deem is most profitable for the project
The Kraken Posted 1 May, 2013 Posted 1 May, 2013 Stripes or no stripes, whatever. Just as long as the new kit doesn't look as utterly sh*te, cheap and nasty as the current one.
View From The Top Posted 1 May, 2013 Posted 1 May, 2013 Personally I think stripes always look sh.it unless it's akin to the Air Florida / Rank Xerox kit. Away shirts only for me for dossing about / 5 aside.
Saint_Ash Posted 1 May, 2013 Posted 1 May, 2013 Stripes are boring, the top teams don't have stripes. We'll win more games without stripes. AA a side note, our kit looks smart.
SaintRobbie Posted 1 May, 2013 Posted 1 May, 2013 SOS S ave O ur S tripes I'd prefer stripes, anything else just aint-saintly.
Orange Posted 1 May, 2013 Posted 1 May, 2013 Not even having the pin stripes next season, you heard it hear first.
DuncanRG Posted 1 May, 2013 Posted 1 May, 2013 I'm not particularly bothered either way, but I've certainly learnt to love this season's kit and wouldn't mind something similar next season. The only thing I don't like is black shorts - I know it's tradition but I never have.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 2 May, 2013 Posted 2 May, 2013 If we don't have stripes and have another mainly red job, will that be the end of stripes? Another couple of years and people will start getting used to the red....
Chewy Posted 2 May, 2013 Posted 2 May, 2013 Stripes are boring, the top teams don't have stripes. We'll win more games without stripes. AA a side note, our kit looks smart. Probably not the best morning to say this, but don't barca play in stripes? And the three big italian sides?? Like most I crave the early 80s version though
Ampersound Posted 2 May, 2013 Posted 2 May, 2013 We sing come on you reds... It's going to be predominately red. Red teams seemingly win more games.. It's supposed to be a lucky colour in Asia / Far East where I guess we are trying expand our support. I'd say if we stay all red then so be it.
The9 Posted 2 May, 2013 Posted 2 May, 2013 I would suggest a "please" might be more helpful in the title, at least then I'd know not to bother reading the thread as if it contained some new information.

Done this to death, the "success" thing is not even true. Even if it was, every team switching to "lucky red" would bring the success rate down quickly enough anyway.
The9 Posted 2 May, 2013 Posted 2 May, 2013 Our thought Ian Rush unveiled our new kit yesterday I love the fact that Liverpool are trying to pass those shirts off as being remotely alike, when our current home kit looks more like the classic Umbro shirt than anything they've worn in the past 25 years.
JackanorySFC Posted 2 May, 2013 Posted 2 May, 2013 Lets go back to Saints stripes please and not that hideous Liverpool all red. I find your kit deal with Sondico "the Primark of football shirts" absolutely hilarious! Disgusting small time football club your mob, I hope you've wasted a grand on them.
The9 Posted 2 May, 2013 Posted 2 May, 2013 (edited) Actually, there was that massive V-neck adidas Carlsberg shirt around 1996 based on the same pinstripe effort, but that also didn't have pinstripes. Sondico are owned by Mike Ashley's Sports Direct, and they're also supplying Torquay and MK Dons. Nice. Edited 2 May, 2013 by The9
Chez Posted 2 May, 2013 Posted 2 May, 2013 I find your kit deal with Sondico "the Primark of football shirts" absolutely hilarious! Disgusting small time football club your mob, I hope you've wasted a grand on them. expect a beauty of a kit for that lot.
Torres Posted 2 May, 2013 Posted 2 May, 2013 It's not even red next season. It's worse than that - we're not even having shirts next season and will play every game in skins. FACT.
Window Cleaner Posted 2 May, 2013 Posted 2 May, 2013 It's worse than that - we're not even having shirts next season and will play every game in skins. FACT. no yellows for shirt taking off, we'll do anything to win the fair-play league.
lloydie Posted 2 May, 2013 Posted 2 May, 2013 Lets go back to Saints stripes please and not that hideous Liverpool all red. Not really worth you making a thread on this subject again is it? You already made one a month ago, alongside the fact there's a kit speculation thread running which is adequate enough surely! FWIW, couldnt care less what we wear long as Messi wears it next season.
1960saint Posted 2 May, 2013 Posted 2 May, 2013 Its going to be red on the outside and stripey on the inside. In fact 2 shirts for the price of one. If you like red you wear the red side or if you like stripes wear the boring stripey side . i prefer the 'block colour' myself
The9 Posted 2 May, 2013 Posted 2 May, 2013 expect a beauty of a kit for that lot. If I was picking for a team I actually liked I'd go for F, though C with a slight 2-tone effect would probably look alright.
Grey Crab Posted 2 May, 2013 Posted 2 May, 2013 I think that we should 100% definitely go back to stripes next season as it is the only kit that is truly Saints in the modern game although I'd also be pleased if we had the sash kit again or even the red strip from this season.
eurosaint Posted 2 May, 2013 Posted 2 May, 2013 I'd love to go back to stripes for next season but even if it turns out to be (very thin) pinstripes I can live with it as long as we have black shorts and some white trimming elsewhere on the kit ! This year we have been Liverpool in disguise and it does not sit comfortably with me !! Loved the sash, love traditional stripes, hate all red kits - please Nic, take note !!!
patred44 Posted 2 May, 2013 Posted 2 May, 2013 i I put no credance on it, but I have been told that there is green in it...colours of the Italian national flag I 'd like us to return to the sash
Pilchards Posted 2 May, 2013 Posted 2 May, 2013 i I put no credance on it, but I have been told that there is green in it...colours of the Italian national flag I 'd like us to return to the sash The green will be the tree from the badge
dubai_phil Posted 2 May, 2013 Posted 2 May, 2013 The green will be the tree from the badge Or the tree you were pictured hiding in
Cestrian Saint Posted 3 May, 2013 Posted 3 May, 2013 I heard NC never liked black in the home kit and opted for Red & White (The colours of the Swiss flag) as a mark of respect for ML. The article also said he was going to replace black with green so that out kit is red, white and green, the colours of the Italian flag. I think the last bit was a joke, well, I hope it was. :-/

The article also said he was going to replace black with green so that out kit is red, white and green, the colours of the Italian flag. I think the last bit was a joke, well, I hope it was. :-/ Apart from the current kit having nearly as much grey (nothing to do with Switzerland) in it. This is the thing I was referring to in the Pointless Kit Speculation Thread, as apparently he's also decided that he doesn't like red or white, which suggests at least one of these points is flawed. I'd say they both were. We've had a mainly black away kit under Cortese's direction, as well as home kits which are predominantly red, a predominantly white, and two that have been mainly plain stripes with black as a third colour. I'd say that was enough variety to suggest he doesn't have a preference, though this season's crappy red is troubling, at least until the next striped kit.
niceandfriendly Posted 4 May, 2013 Posted 4 May, 2013 This years kit has been one of our best, for sure, but I'll be more than happy with it being a one off as I do love the stripes. Let's see them return next season in the form of an Athletico Madrid style purlease.

Batman Posted 4 May, 2013 Posted 4 May, 2013 Fascinating, although we haven't had a red and white kit this season have we? You have seen it, right? What, it hasn't got white pin stripes?
lloydie Posted 4 May, 2013 Posted 4 May, 2013 People get really touchy about what we wear dont they? Long as it looks smart i dont care too much. Clubs kits change over time and eventually become unrecogniseable to how they started in some cases.

Clubs kits change over time and eventually become unrecogniseable to how they started in some cases. The current kit is the smartest kit we've ever had imo, and worthy of a forward club that is aiming higher than we have done before. It does make the old red and white stripes and black shorts look somewhat old fashioned. That is the Struggling Southampton kit

It does make the old red and white stripes and black shorts look somewhat old fashioned. That is the Struggling Southampton kit I think its one of the cheapest and tackiest we've ever had. The logo is just a stuck on label; it looks terribly naff on the home kit, it looked absolutely appalling on the white kit as the label was off white. The less said about the away kit, the better. Rank Xerox kit next season would be my choice, but I doubt it'll happen. Wouldn't be surprised if we stayed away from stripes for another year, unfortunately. This season's kits were rubbish in my view; sometime I buy the kit for 5 a side (I still often wear the sash) but no way was I going buy either of this year's shirts, they're awful.
CB Fry Posted 4 May, 2013 Posted 4 May, 2013 What, it hasn't got white pin stripes? Its got grey pinstripes too. Neither of those things makes our current kit a red and white kit.
