Saint86 Posted 18 June, 2014 Posted 18 June, 2014 "@MrJGKey: @SouthamptonFC we must be one of the only clubs not to announce a 2014/15 kit! Come on guys your killing me!! #saintsfc #bringbackstripes" "@SouthamptonFC: @MrJGKey Won’t be long, Joe. We hope you’ll find it worth the wait. #saintsfc" Saw this on twitter, granted this a bit conspiratorial but does the fact the club says they hope he finds it 'worth the wait' indicate they will #bringbackstripes ? One imagines that the club would use correct spelling, even on twitter.
Colinjb Posted 18 June, 2014 Posted 18 June, 2014 One imagines that the club would use correct spelling, even on twitter. Indeed, thankfully it was Mr J G Key who used 'your' incorrectly.
Beckenham Saint Posted 18 June, 2014 Posted 18 June, 2014 (edited) One imagines that the club would use correct spelling, even on twitter. That's the person that has tweeted to the club with the error, and, as Alpine will tell you our fans do have a penchant for illiteracy. Edited 18 June, 2014 by Beckenham Saint ironic mistake.
Smirking_Saint Posted 18 June, 2014 Posted 18 June, 2014 I wouldnt mind going back to stripes to be honest, but Id like a change every now and again, personally the last two kits have been a welcome break to a kit that tends to have little diversity in design and is ultimately pretty boring
Professor Posted 18 June, 2014 Posted 18 June, 2014 I know this has been done to death before but the yearly change in design is only a marketing ploy to increase sales. Small changes in design allow fans to 'get away' with wearing a previous year's shirt, hence the greater differences that have been made from year to year recently. Oddly, in Rugby, fans take a different attitude and by wearing an older shirt they show that they are long-standing supporters

Oddly, in Rugby, fans take a different attitude and by wearing an older shirt they show that they are long-standing supporters I love wearing older home shirts. This marketing ploy wouldn't work on me. Didn't buy this year's kit. Didn't mind it, but it was a ripoff.
krissyboy31 Posted 18 June, 2014 Posted 18 June, 2014 Any ideas if the new lot are making the training kits and leisure wear or is that staying with Adidas?
angelman Posted 18 June, 2014 Posted 18 June, 2014 How about a version of this http://www.sportsdirect.com/warrior-liverpool-home-shirt-2014-2015-377300?colcode=37730008
CB Fry Posted 18 June, 2014 Posted 18 June, 2014 I want us to have stripes every season forever. It's all I care about. Not who we sign or sell. Not who the manager is. Not who owns us or runs us. Not who are players are or where they come from. Not winning trophies or even matches. All I care about, and ever will care about, is whether we wear red and white stripes. In fact I would accept 38 straight defeats next season as long as we were wearing red and white stripes for the home games. It's all I care about.
Alain Perrin Posted 18 June, 2014 Posted 18 June, 2014 Sash or all red for me, I've never been a fan of stripes. However, I get that some people vocally want the stripes back and it is an easy fan pander PR move. Pity though.
SFKA South Woodford Posted 18 June, 2014 Posted 18 June, 2014 I was told last weekend by someone who works at the club that the new kit is already sealed away in the store rooms at St Marys and that it wasn't just some cheap rubbish that Cortese had done a dodgy deal for. I asked if it's going to be a name brand but was told that they couldn't say anymore than that.
Dr Who? Posted 18 June, 2014 Posted 18 June, 2014 So it is another week since they said very soon! Balls to them. I have all the shirts apart from last season, going back to 1988/89 and a few away.... I really did not like last seasons, not because of the lack of stripes, but the gold.... No gold please!

Brave Sir Robin Posted 18 June, 2014 Posted 18 June, 2014 I didn't like the sash. Last kit I liked was the one we wore in 2003. I had a dream that this years will involve a rather ugly combination of thick and thin stripes. Luckily I'm more bothered about how they play than how they look!
BlakeySFC Posted 18 June, 2014 Posted 18 June, 2014 A month from now. A month from now it's going to be released, or a month from now it's going to be revealed?
trousers Posted 18 June, 2014 Posted 18 June, 2014 A month from now. A month from now that it will have been announced for two weeks...?
itchen_dan Posted 18 June, 2014 Posted 18 June, 2014 A month from now it's going to be released, or a month from now it's going to be revealed? Released. I genuinely expect a reveal on 1st July.
EBS1980 Posted 18 June, 2014 Posted 18 June, 2014 1st is my bet. Be a big launch day as that's when Veho take over as sponsors so launching the kit at the same time seems obvious.
Polaroid Saint Posted 18 June, 2014 Posted 18 June, 2014 I just hope the new Veho kit is USB3.1 compatible.

The9 Posted 18 June, 2014 Author Posted 18 June, 2014 Worth pointing out that rather than "being one of the only clubs not to have announced a new kit", we are still, at the moment, one of the majority of Premier League clubs who have not announced anything. Villa and QPR have launched both, Newcastle away only, Liverpool home kit only (leaks of others), Chelsea home kit only, Sunderland and West Ham away, Stoke home, Spurs nothing, West Brom nothing, Burnley nothing, Man City nothing, Everton nothing, Leicester nothing, Swansea nothing, Man U nothing, Arsenal nothing (leaks months back though), Saints nowt, Hull nothing, Palace nothing.

Yeah, but we are a laughing stock though, aren't we?
angelman Posted 18 June, 2014 Posted 18 June, 2014 I'm sorry, but I really can't get excited as to what clothes the players wear to do their job. If it's ****, it's **** but so be it.
The9 Posted 18 June, 2014 Author Posted 18 June, 2014 Yeah, but we are a laughing stock though, aren't we? Pretty sure I am for knowing that from memory.

Goatboy Posted 19 June, 2014 Posted 19 June, 2014 Swindon kit PS. Imagine Cruising. LOL Now that is a dull kit with an awful sponsor! Endless graffiti possibilities!
Brizzie Saints Posted 19 June, 2014 Posted 19 June, 2014 Ha ha ha ha ha Imagine Cruising are they ****in serious..............wouldnt they be be better off sponsoring Brighton.
Saint86 Posted 19 June, 2014 Posted 19 June, 2014 Ha ha ha ha ha Imagine Cruising are they ****in serious..............wouldnt they be be better off sponsoring Brighton. Liverpool I would have thought, considering most in that city can't afford it and are just trying to steal everything from Southampton.
Bakovnetski Posted 19 June, 2014 Posted 19 June, 2014 Ha ha ha ha ha Imagine Cruising are they ****in serious..............wouldnt they be be better off sponsoring Brighton. LOL this!
The9 Posted 20 June, 2014 Author Posted 20 June, 2014 You have now, and that's kinda the point. Terrible sponsor photoshop on that first kit, haven't seen one that bad since last season's hastily-assembled aap3 ones, and the "players wearing the shirts" video that didn't show their faces and the front of the kit with the sponsor on in the same shot.
deadpanmatt Posted 20 June, 2014 Posted 20 June, 2014 If the Veho deal doesn't start until July 1st, we won't see a new kit for another 11 days at least, so there's no point criticising the club for not announcing it yet. I swear people on this site just look for reasons to panic.

Gemmel Posted 20 June, 2014 Posted 20 June, 2014 Watch this be completely wrong..................... Someone n(Not me) thinks they saw it yesterday. A diagonal white V from shoulders to neck, stripes underneath. His comments "Think the old pony strip"

Now make the top bit white and move the stripes to the main body.

Seaside Saint 2 Posted 20 June, 2014 Posted 20 June, 2014 Columbia ??? A red and white version of that would be good, definitely my favourite strip at the WC.

ratio_decidendi Posted 20 June, 2014 Posted 20 June, 2014 That Columbian kit looks absolutely gorgeous. Would love that in red and white (in either combination). Would be tempted to even get one myself for the gym.
SFC_1992 Posted 20 June, 2014 Posted 20 June, 2014 Away shirt likely to be Blue and Yellow? judging from the Home & Heart signs?
