Batman Posted 13 May, 2014 Share Posted 13 May, 2014 it just might be a smokescreen by Krueger to ensure there is that little bit of surprise when stripes are revealed. The club know this is what the fans want and at this rate good news might be in short supply in the summer so this could divert fans attention. You honestly think that?

hypochondriac Posted 13 May, 2014 Share Posted 13 May, 2014 So all things considered there's a good chance we'll be returning to stripes and returning to being sh1t. Will be just like old times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Mockles Posted 13 May, 2014 Share Posted 13 May, 2014 That's awesome. I have not been alone in desperately wanting a rank xerox style (this style) kit for a long time & it won't fly off the rails if they sanctioned this kit. Love it! I'd even buy my son a new kit.

DuncanRG Posted 13 May, 2014 Share Posted 13 May, 2014 If it's own-brand next year and Adidas have said they might be working with us again from 15/16, I assume the Adidas contract was cancelled but there wasn't time to negotiate a new/good enough deal with anyone for next season. After that Adidas would be competing with everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlakeySFC Posted 13 May, 2014 Share Posted 13 May, 2014 (edited) Lol you lot are gold. I told you this over 4 months ago and you chose not to listen. �� Theoretically how and where would you get an own-brand kit made? Would you approach a tiny manufacturer like Sondico/Avec/Samurai Sports/Kukri to make the kits unbranded or would you go direct to the factories in the Middle East and Asia and just ask for a large quantity of poor quality nylon football shirts in a certain pre-approved template…?

Spudders Posted 14 May, 2014 Share Posted 14 May, 2014 If they've just bought thousands of red tshirts from primark and glued a badge and written Veho on the front then I'm going to guess we're in trouble Sadly even then there would be some mugs who'd still buy them!

You'd think! Partnership termination has just been announced on Twitter. Statement says that decision was made in December so Cortese fallout could have been likely reason for the termination. No details of new kit announced, other than that information will be released in the coming months (Although I'm sure we all assumed as much, anyway!) http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/14052014-statement-southampton-fc-adidas-1552140.aspx Edited 14 May, 2014 by Beckenham Saint included link.

Sour Mash Posted 14 May, 2014 Share Posted 14 May, 2014 Far be it for me to stand up for NC, but Adidas did stuff up with the late delivery of various bits of kits, fair enough reason for a contractual dispute there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 14 May, 2014 Share Posted 14 May, 2014 How the heck did The Don fall out with a kit makers mid-way through a season? I would guess that they were looking at our new kits for this coming season, and it was probably another generic piece or cr4p, NC probably said, if you're not going to put any effort in, then we'll go somewhere else. And then things happen and NC left. Then the new board came in, and thought '"sh1t, we have no kit for next year" tried to sort it out with Adidas, and they weren't interested/weren't able to produce this years kit in time. I would expect if Cortese was still here we'd have just got a different supplier of kit for this year and it would have been sorted out by now.

Maybe he was (rightly) ****ed off with the Bristol City template served up to us and had a hissy-fit? Who knows? The fact that an announcement will be made over next couple of months suggests that we aren't close to finding a new supplier either, esp. if talks with Adidas in Feb-March were too late in the day. Maybe just sack a shirt off next season and wear red bibs with 'Veho' on them. Better than whinging about having our stripes back all summer long.

The club would have signed off on the design, I find it difficult to believe that Adidas provided us with a kit design that we didn't approve. Sour Mash is right above that Adidas ****ed up with their supply chain, though, stock levels were well below what was deemed acceptable for months.
