Bananaman Posted 22 January, 2014 Share Posted 22 January, 2014 Am I the only one who would be happy with this? I thought it was cool how we had our own brand, and they can't be any worse than the Adidas kits. Most important though, I really hope we get our stripes back. What?! The own brand kits were terrible.. And the training wear was sooooo bad.. I remember owning the white away kit.. The medium was a tent, wear saint training kit was a disadvantage when playing football.. Hot, clingy.. Just really cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le Tissier Posted 22 January, 2014 Share Posted 22 January, 2014 It will need to be something special now. Lots have changed alot since lowe done it. I would imagine if it was done now it would be a huge improvement . Most of you are probably unaware that the players shirts worn on a match day are different to the ones you buy in the shops. When the shirts come in the ones the players wear are sent back to be tailored to fit each player exactly how they like it. Especially the home ones as the away come slightly fitted anyway. This may be another key factor for the change as they can be made correct to start rather than have to make them twice. As you know cortese OCD went from players sleeping in there own bedding etc everywhere they went , down to each player having there own gloves hats Etc for training. I personally think this is a good idea. Even if it stops one player catching a bug before a big game then its worth it. When there's as much money at stake as there is these days every fine point counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just really cheap Made by the same people in the same sweat shops in the Far East as Adidas (or any other kit manufacturer). They even used to have Adidas stripes, strange that. Think people imagined we employed a bunch of ladies who sewed them together at St Mary's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Bateman Posted 22 January, 2014 Share Posted 22 January, 2014 It'll be a couple of these 2014/15 Adidas designs : Tabe 14 This one for me, hopefully still in solid red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kraken Posted 22 January, 2014 Share Posted 22 January, 2014 Our last two home kits have been absolutely horrific, so I'm hoping it's a change to something that looks half decent. I'd prefer stripes over what we've got but some sort of nod to the sash or the Rank Xerox kit would be good. Something distinctive yet still with a nod to Saints. Rank Xerox has always been my preference, just not sure if I trust Adidas to not f*ck it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kraken Posted 22 January, 2014 Share Posted 22 January, 2014 true, hope it remains all red I reckon it won't, the new CEO will know that a very simple way to get fans on side will be to release a stripes kit. Add a tagline to it like "giving the fans their kit back" or some such gubbins and it's a PR dream. I'll be amazed if we don't see stripes or Rank Xerox next term. I don't mind a deviation from the norm at all, I just think our last 2 season's kit have been really poor, I genuinely can't stand this season's home (the away kit is really nice though).

Barry Sanchez Posted 22 January, 2014 Share Posted 22 January, 2014 We have nearly always had shiit kits but then so have most of the other teams in this Country, Newcastle gave never dared mess with their barcode effort, why did we? I do understand they have to make it shiit or average to keep the punters buying them but please the only kit I wear now is the sash number. The old Man Utd Draper home one is ok but thats it, in the 90's we really had such bad kits they were good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alain Perrin Posted 22 January, 2014 Share Posted 22 January, 2014 I hope we don't get our stripes back. We should look forward, not back. For me stripes are, meh - same as Sunderland or Stoke - and I feel little affinity to them. I'd favour a better version of this years solid red or a sash (recognising that sash and a sponsor are difficult to achieve) Sent from my RM-821_eu_euro1_276 using Board Express Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 23 January, 2014 Author Share Posted 23 January, 2014 I hate to break more bad news to you. But next year we will be blessed with the return of the "saints" own brand kit.

Dynamo Naive Posted 23 January, 2014 Share Posted 23 January, 2014 Now KL will hopefully be introducing a less dictatorial style of management of the club with the strongly rumoured appointment of John Williams as CEO, I reckon we could be in for a return to the red and white stripes sooner rather than later. Williams is a longtime Saints fan and I'm sure most of us would like to see the stripes come back. The red kit did smack a little of NC's determnation to do things his way regardless of what anyone else thought. As much as I have enjoyed most of this spell in the Prem I still can't get used to the red kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericb Posted 25 February, 2014 Share Posted 25 February, 2014 In my opinion that's the best kit we've ever had, nothing else really even comes close.

It is also the first time I have whole heartily, unequivocally agreed with turkish. He has been direct, and straight to the point! Every season we have a pointless thread about potential kits. This needs to change. Every season we need a thread which states "Give us the kit above ffs!" - How much do they pay the marketing team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaSaint Posted 25 February, 2014 Share Posted 25 February, 2014 Given Katharina's seemingly strong awareness of some of the things that irritated fans under Cortese, and given her apparent desire to rectify them, I wouldn't be surprised if a well-organized campaign was successful. I'd prefer the old-style stripes but I'd vote for this because it could quickly become distinctively "us" again. I still haven't got over paying seventy quid for an indistinctive red top in November. P.S. to LostBoys: That must have been 30 years ago, yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
