aintforever Posted 25 February, 2014 Share Posted 25 February, 2014 I'm getting confused now. There was outrage when we departed from stripes' date=' are we now saying that we don't want to return to stripes either and instead want to return to our unique designs from specific past seasons?[/quote'] See those big fat red vertical things, they are stripes.

landford.saint Posted 25 February, 2014 Share Posted 25 February, 2014 Personally I would prefer to return to stripes. However, the 'Turkish' shirt choice would be a good alternative.

There was outrage when we departed from stripes' date=' are we now saying that we don't want to return to stripes either and instead want to return to our unique designs from specific past seasons?[/quote'] You have made the classic forum mistake of amalgamating different opinions into a 'forum opinion'. How do you know that the people on here are the same people who expressed outrage. I suggest you get a piece of paper and do a venn diagram and plot peoples views on the two subjects before commenting in future. Any way the RX kit is stripes; small white, large red, large white, large red, small white, large red, large white, large red. Its a progression from the Candy Stripes. I would spunk my wad on this top, that or a reprise of the Candy Stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted 25 February, 2014 Share Posted 25 February, 2014 Personally I'm not all that fussed by the 82 shirt, but I don't buy shirts so my vote counts for little, but I do like the Hummel style. I'm not sure we ever saw the best of them. Again they are still going and are a little better than Patrick IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anothersaintinsouthsea Posted 25 February, 2014 Share Posted 25 February, 2014 That looks like something you'd buy for £3.99 from Sports Direct. Still superior to our current shirt. I preferred to the sash shirt to any others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Wayman Posted 25 February, 2014 Share Posted 25 February, 2014 Look fellas, we are a Swiss team, right? Switzerland play in all red, right? Next year's shirt will look exactly like this year's shirt. A return to stripes will never happen under this regime and things might get distinctly worse if we sell to a company with Blue as a corporate colour!

Wurzel Posted 25 February, 2014 Share Posted 25 February, 2014 not that i care about it particularly but The9 seems to be in self imposed excile so needs someone to start it of. There is one kit and one kit only that will be popular with 99.9% of the fans and may even persuade me to part with my cash on a saints shirt for the first time in about 25 years.

A 2014 version of this please Kat. As much as I agree with you 100% and would love a return of this kit, I think next season will be too early for our (or Katrina's) thoughts to be heard. Through my job I work closely with the commercial departments of several clubs (not Saints admittedly) and the 3 clubs I work with all have their kits sorted for next season already!

Saint 76er Posted 25 February, 2014 Share Posted 25 February, 2014 Deffo Keegan kit for me, a classic that set us apart from the rest and probably should have been continued as our identity. However, surely the next kit is already done and dusted and contracts signed, even with Cortese leaving. Seems unlikely Kat is still poring over colour charts and designs at this juncture. The looms are probably already being fired up in some Asian sweatshop... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sentry Posted 25 February, 2014 Share Posted 25 February, 2014 And with no sponsor in the middle. I still dont get why they dont just wear the sponsor for the matches on tv and the games, but sell the shirts with out the sponsor. Sure the club would take a little hit but would def sell more shirts and they look better. After all advertisers are just interested in press and tv coverage, not a spotty man in his mid thirties buying a greggs wearing their logo.

John Boy Saint Posted 26 February, 2014 Share Posted 26 February, 2014 Mines got 'Air Florida' on it!!! Personally prefer the 78 kit as worn by Phil Boyer. Hate the current one & last years. My favourite too. If we are going with the whole traditional Saints kit, I wonder if we will look at going back to the Navy blue "knickers" (as the programme referred to shorts years ago) which were dropped for Black as the Blue would go a lighter shade as the season progressed due to washing. Then there's the Old Gold away shirt too to throw into the mix. Still as has been said very nice to see Turkish punting up a thread without being contentious. I hope they do have a dabble with his choice, if only to see him in his replica shirt which he will tastefully compliment with a pair of Reebok Classics.
