Stripes or Plain Shirts ?

[The9]

I know there are a few kit threads around already, but I think there should be a definitive poll indicating whether Saints fans (the ones on here anyway), feel Saints should wear red and white stripes, plain shirts (that could be red as last season, or white), the sash kit which was so popular previously, or if they're not really bothered what kit the team wears.

 

Mods, any chance of a poll with the question

 

"In home matches, should Saints wear :

 

* Stripes

* Mainly one colour

* Sash

* Don't mind"

 

Could be a useful pointer for opinion when the new shirts are launched. You may note that I'm trying to be as neutral as possible here so as not to skew results. A week should be long enough to get a decent cross-section ?

Sash.

[saintmatt]

Sash.

 

+ 1, a nod to our history and differentiates us a bit.

[The9]

Edited to add sash to the list.

[Minsk]

Mix it up.

[Wiggles31]

I know they would never go for the sash but that was one of my favourite kits. So distinctive and unique to other teams.

[The9]

Cheers to the mod, any chance of adding Sash ?

[EBS1980]

Sash for me. Nobody else has it so would make us stand out and recognised

[dingbattigger]

I voted stripes but would prefer sash

[Mark]

Sash for me too.

[The9]

Well, so far all we've proven is that people want what they can't have.

[kpturner]

Is there a "don't care" option? Can tell on my ipad.

[SaintBobby]

Rank Xerox please.

[Saint_Ash]

Like the sash and unlike many others I really like the current home shirt, stripes are our most used shirt in times past but I don't see why we have to always have stripes, I prefer us to be unique whether it's with stripes or not.

[rshephard3]

Sash great as a one off tribute to our heritage, anniversary shirts etc.

 

But year in year out stripes for me.

[St Chalet]

I really don't mind. Grew up in an era of Rank Xerox, centenary shirt and the Hummell shirt so I don't have such an affinity to stripes. The sash was great as a one off, and shouldn't / won't be repeated. If you want a nod to history how about quarters of red and white?

[Ohio Saint]

Stripes or sash for me.

 

I hope we are going to be a force next season, and would love to attach some honour to the stripey teams. Sash is good also for historic reasons and identity.

[Saints foreva]

Stripes.

 

Sash was good for a one off, this season shirt is terrible, probably only sold the amount it did because of a return to the Premier League.

[doggface]

I like to mix it up as we have over the years. I certainly don't want to be Allred forever.

[SNSUN]

I have to say I liked the Sash - my favourite kit. That said I reckon it'll be between stripes and how it is currently - and stripes (or two-tone like the Air Florida kit) wins that vote, not that I have any major problems with the current shirt, it's just I grew up with Saints wearing stripes.

[Batman]

not bothered, as long as it is red

[stardustonmyfeet]

We looked boss in the sash and no other team wears anything like it. Bring it back, I say

[Saint Martini]

+ 1, a nod to our history and differentiates us a bit.

 

This is exactly what I thought when I voted sash. We've played in stripes almost every season since I started following Saints but that doesn't mean that you have to continue with it just because. We have several different designs that can make us stand out more and that also have a historic connection with the club. I'd like the club to go out and have the sash for a few seasons, so that that design becomes the one people identify us with.

[aintforever]

Has to be stripes, anything else just is not Southampton.

[The Kraken]

Where's the option for red and white quarters?

[bpsaint]

I actually liked this seasons shirt, but then I like it when we mix the kits up a bit so it's not just a variation of stripes every time we change. 2 of my favourite shirts are the centenary one and the 99-01 home kit which barely counts as stripes either

[Manuel]

Didn't like the sash, looked dull and dated. Indifferent about the all-red. Would like to see us in stripes again next season and hoping for a Sunderland and Stoke relegation.

[Aardvark]

This - I can't believe the number of people on here raving about that vile sash.

[SNSUN]

If we do go back to stripes, I like the idea of mixing it up a bit. A bit like:

 

 

but not as ghey. (Although that is one of my favourite home strips since being a Saints fan...)

[Badger]

Rank Xerox please.

 

Yes.

 

But voted stripes in this poll.

[SaintRobbie]

Good result this poll! We love our stripes!!!

[Colinjb]

Stripes, or at least proportional amounts of Red/White with black shorts and red/white socks.

[niceandfriendly]

I'd love to see a predominantly one-colour sash kit with stripes.

I take it that you already know again, and this is some weird exercise in taking-the-p*ss. FWIW i am bored with stripes and want a Rank Xerox kit

[rooney]

Lets keep some of our tradition and history and have stripes. The club will be changing our crest next.

[Dr Who?]

I think one year stripes, then one year with a different shirt. Even better if they had the shirt for 2 seasons like they used to! No going back on this one now!

[alpine_saint]

Stoke and Sunderland are still with us. I want my club to stand apart from that sh*t.

No stripes.

[OnTheCross]

Rank Xerox - but only when we're going for that Champions League spot in it, in a couple of seasons. Wouldn't want my childhood memories tarnished

 

Beyond that, it can get mixed up a bit, just as the club have done in the past. I'm not a huge fan of just the stripes though.

[Under Weststand]

I loved the sash kit but the favourite was the 1977/78 promotion kit. So some form of stripes for me.

[old_southy]

reverse ajax!

[paulwantsapint]

Voted stripes

But would like to see a quarters shirt

Sash needs to be kept for special seasons

that kit is absolutely horrific. The worst example of stripes you can get

[NewYorkSaint]

Striped socks enough!

[Restark19]

Definitely Rank Xerox, also go back to Yellow away. I know we only wore the white one twice this season but just get rid of it altogether and have Yellow/Blue as our official away kit.

[Steeleye Saint]

Rank Xerox reversed with a wide red stripe in the centre please.

[Badger]

Rank Xerox reversed with a wide red stripe in the centre please.

 

But that strip though would just be a copy of the Ajax strip.

 

Although it would still be infinitely preferable to this season's effort.

[Wade Garrett]

Keegan stripes.

[The9]

Surprised we haven't had more votes on this, even the "don't cares" have an option !

[Hamilton Saint]

that kit is absolutely horrific. The worst example of stripes you can get

 

Agreed. Total abomination.

[The9]

I think the Pony tick kit is awful, but at least it makes an effort at stripes, unlike this and (apparently) next year's.
