Raging Bull Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 Excellent news, really looking forward to the new kit.
pap Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 Nice. Always my brand of choice when I was a nipper and cared about such things.
ant Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 That announcement image looks like it was thrown together in Paint! Somebody didn't have the source files for the logos...
Hatch Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 all day I dream about sex he he ha ha giggle giggle. aaaah school days.
100%Red&White Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 Nice. Always my brand of choice when I was a nipper and cared about such things. Me too. Adidas Beckenbauer Super my first pair of screw-in studs boots. An extortionate £5 something or other from Connor and Mitchell in St Marys.
pap Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 That announcement image looks like it was thrown together in Paint! Somebody didn't have the source files for the logos... They chose the wrong file format. JPEG is really good for photos that have a lot of variance, but you're better off with a PNG for logos and suchlike.
once_bitterne Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 I wonder if the gold logo is something that is going to be used on everything from now on?
ThreeSixty Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 That announcement image looks like it was thrown together in Paint! Somebody didn't have the source files for the logos... Seriously tin pot.
ant Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 They chose the wrong file format. JPEG is really good for photos that have a lot of variance, but you're better off with a PNG for logos and suchlike. I was more concerned with the silly black blocks behind each logo (the silver version of ours would've had plenty of contrast), but yeah the artifacts around what should be sharp edges looks amateurish too. Bodes well for the quality of the kit (and yes, I'm well aware it'll probably just be a template with our badge/sponsor affixed)
SOTONS EAST SIDE Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 So does that mean Red Bull could be the new sponsors.
Big Bad Bob Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 I was more concerned with the silly black blocks behind each logo (the silver version of ours would've had plenty of contrast), but yeah the artifacts around what should be sharp edges looks amateurish too. Bodes well for the quality of the kit (and yes, I'm well aware it'll probably just be a template with our badge/sponsor affixed) The one of the OS is even worse...looks 70s at best I would have thought that they would have gotrid of the black background at least
bpsaint Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 That's what it's like to be Pompey, Thats what it's like to be small, we wear Adidas, they wear sondico, sondico.... happy with this news, love that we're gonna be kitted out in one of the worlds biggest brand.
CWD Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 @CallumWDonnelly: Dear @adidasUK, please give us our stripes back. Regards, #saintsfc fans @adidasUK: @CallumWDonnelly Noted! Would they have replied to me if we weren't getting a striped shirt?
Saint_Ash Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 all day I dream about sex he he ha ha giggle giggle. aaaah school days. After dinner I did a sh1t! On a serious note, I have adidas trainers so I'm happy. I hope no one comes out and says we have a deal with adeeedas, hate that pronunciation.
Marsdinho Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 Come on bedwetters, lets not worry about the quality of the advert. Its a new manufacturer FFS, not Take Hart.
iansums Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 @CallumWDonnelly: Dear @adidasUK, please give us our stripes back. Regards, #saintsfc fans @adidasUK: @CallumWDonnelly Noted! Would they have replied to me if we weren't getting a striped shirt? Don't worry, you'll get three stripes running down each sleeve.
Baldbarbarian Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 the training gear will be decent next season then.
trousers Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 who was the "itk" that said it was Nike? Glasgow Saint?
bender Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 The one of the OS is even worse...looks 70s at best I would have thought that they would have gotrid of the black background at least Me thinks that black and gold badge could feature.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 Now for the joint megastore and I can say 'I told you so!'
Katalinic Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 Now for the joint megastore and I can say 'I told you so!' Someone else mentioned the same I think on the Echo site - joint megastore in West Quay and that the SMS Megastore will only open on match days.
ant Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 Come on bedwetters, lets not worry about the quality of the advert. Its a new manufacturer FFS, not Take Hart. I'm the polar opposite of a bedwetter It was built up as some big reveal, the least that could have been done was to prepare an image befitting an announcement. Perhaps it's just because it jars when compared with the brand-centric approach we've become accustomed to under Mr Cortese's iron rule. I hope they spent a little longer on putting the kit itself together, that's all!
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 Someone else mentioned the same I think on the Echo site - joint megastore in West Quay and that the SMS Megastore will only open on match days. Don't know about the SMS megastore but I posted on the kit thread a while ago that there were at least initial plans to move the West Quay shop to a bigger site (within West Quay) and have a joint megastore with Adidas.
sussexsaint Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 who was the "itk" that said it was Nike? hmm itk is an anagram of kit ....
St.Patrik Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 So the away yellow will look like this then ; ) http://www.footballshirtculture.com/13/14-kits/sweden-2013-2014-adidas-home-a-away-football-shirts.html
Saint J 77 Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 adidas are a well know kit manufacturer and thats great but I just hope we get a decent kit design this year. This seasons kit took some getting used too. I didn't mind it in the end but it would be great to have a more fan pleasing design this year. I know from what I've read on here that I should expect another bland mostly red shirt again. I just hope it's not going to be as bad as some are making out.
Saint Garrett Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 So the away yellow will look like this then ; ) http://www.footballshirtculture.com/13/14-kits/sweden-2013-2014-adidas-home-a-away-football-shirts.html Hopefully ! Better than those sh!te black mock ups.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 hmm itk is an anagram of kit .... the plot thickens!!!
DT Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 This is great news. Have always liked Adidas. Who knows, might be able to get a Saints kit in Sports Direct one day. Then we would have really arrived...
pap Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 I was more concerned with the silly black blocks behind each logo (the silver version of ours would've had plenty of contrast), but yeah the artifacts around what should be sharp edges looks amateurish too. Bodes well for the quality of the kit (and yes, I'm well aware it'll probably just be a template with our badge/sponsor affixed) As long as they don't produce the kit in JPG format, we should be fine
kwsaint Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 As long as they don't produce the kit in JPG format, we should be fine Knowing Saints FC that would be a cost cutting measure; apart of NC's master plan
The9 Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 @CallumWDonnelly: Dear @adidasUK, please give us our stripes back. Regards, #saintsfc fans @adidasUK: @CallumWDonnelly Noted! Would they have replied to me if we weren't getting a striped shirt? Yes, yes they would. That black with gold panel pretty much confirms what we've been discussing on the Pointless Kit Thread for months. It appears the home kit will be plain red with some white under the arms, the away black with gold in a similar design (and probably using the monochrome gold badge design on the away kit). Let's just say I like the sound of the away kit.
O_RLY Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 This is excellent news. I am proud of NC and the lads, this signing should really help push on to the top 4 this year.
SFKA South Woodford Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 As long as they don't produce the kit in JPG format, we should be fine 3d Printers at the ready everyone!
Big Bad Bob Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 As long as they don't produce the kit in JPG format, we should be fine Hope they're not done in GIF format, that could be quite abrasive...
Saint Garrett Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 Any Adidas Originals templates? Would be pretty cool to have another 'retro' looking shirt.
The9 Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 Any Adidas Originals templates? Would be pretty cool to have another 'retro' looking shirt. If it's plain red with white shoulder stripes you're after... no trefoil though, adidas refuse to use it on football kits now for some reason.
Tom28 Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 Just confirmed what I told you about 3 weeks ago. Its Adidas, and the home kit is solid red, with a very small amount of white, and the away kit is black and gold. And there will be a new sponsor. And it won't be Red Bull or Bacardi, or Grey Goose or any other drinks brand.
positivepete Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 Saints announce new kit deal with Adidas. First hint at new kit? Predominantly red with white stripes? Thought it was Admiral with those three stripes at the bottom!
Saint Garrett Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 If it's plain red with white shoulder stripes you're after... no trefoil though, adidas refuse to use it on football kits now for some reason. I want proper stripes. Can't be that difficult.

doggface Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 Hmm the plot thickens.... Tom do u know who it is? If so give us a clue
rudi7s Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 Watching the Champs League final, I wouldn't be too disappointed with a similar style to Bayern's shirt, simple and smart
doggface Posted 29 May, 2013 Posted 29 May, 2013 How many years is the deal? Long term is subjective.
