BlakeySFC Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 The diagonal pinstripes? Would probably look okay if we had black shorts/white socks. How do you know anyway? The shirt on the right is the one I'm on about:
InvictaSaint Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 The diagonal pinstripes? Would probably look okay if we had black shorts/white socks. How do you know anyway? Away shirt doesn't have the pinstripes; home shirt does (blue on yellow). Away shirt looks very dull. Awfully boring if true.
CB Fry Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 The shirt on the right is the one I'm on about: Well, if I may be so bold, that would be total fu cking sh it. Jeez, lets hope not.
latter day saint Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 The shirt on the right is the one I'm on about: well that looks cr@p! looks like a training top
pap Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 What about this...? We had that style throughout the club's most successful period in League football from 1980 to 1985. Tweet the club, dude. I just have.
Dr Who? Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 What about this...? We had that style throughout the club's most successful period in League football from 1980 to 1985. With the proper badge I hope! Why is no one bothered about the badge..... I hate gold!
The Kraken Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 Well, if I may be so bold, that would be total fu cking sh it. Jeez, lets hope not. If you change the blue on the sleeves and neck to white, it's almost identical to this year's kit.
Barry Sanchez Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 And for a good reason, as I'm sure you know, it's originally based on a Saints shirt: http://www.atleticofans.com/club-history/ Indeed a truly amazing club, always liked them, if there is one club we should look to aspire to its them.
CB Fry Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 If you change the blue on the sleeves and neck to white, it's almost identical to this year's kit. At least we would look completely unique and not like Stoke and Sunderland, though.
hypochondriac Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 Well, if I may be so bold, that would be total fu cking sh it. Jeez, lets hope not. Agreed. It's even worse than this year.
The Kraken Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 At least we would look completely unique and not like Stoke and Sunderland, though. That would be the major upside. And stripes are so bland. Adidas really are a lazy, sh*thouse brand. Just repetitive, average garb for the masses.

In fact I've got a couple of oldies that I still parade for 5 a side. But they now have so many clubs and churn out the same old monotonous sh*te for most of them. The same lazy template for almost every club. There are still some gems in amongst all that; Ajax 2013/14 home shirt is a beauty, for instance. But in the main they just go for a thoroughly lazy and generic approach.

Barry Sanchez Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 Pony did. Our one was f*cking awful. Had that for 2 years as well. That exactly was my point, we can, other clubs with a bit of class dont meddle with their kits every five minutes to rip off the fans.
Badger Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 Just reverse the colours of the Ajax kit. Even the most incompetent retard in the Adidas kit design studio (even one on a day's work/therapy in the community project) should be capable of that. Black shorts.
The Kraken Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 Nike are where it's at. As far as red and white stripes go, that's perfection IMO. Turn it Rank Xerox and, well, don't blame me for the mess.

I don't really like stripes and like the current kit, but if we *have* to have stripes, then red shorts would be good. Sunderland have black shorts and it looks a little messy and old fashioned. Stoke have white shorts. Would quite like us to stay more red.
Patrick Bateman Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 Yeah, Olympiakos, that'd do (and with Puma, I like their stuff again); http://www4.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Olympiacos+FC+v+FC+Schalke+04+UEFA+Champions+gm8drs9cn2_l.jpg

Pretty sure we had a poll last summer that suggested you were in the minority thankfully.
Barry Sanchez Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 That is the absolute best and even I would buy that. It wont happen as it is too good and the club would only make money once, we have a ****house attitude to our own.
The Kraken Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 I would love red/white top, red shorts and red/whites socks = awesome kit. Not a fan at all of that. The thing I've liked the least about our last two home kits (and there has been a lot) has been the red shorts, followed by the red socks. I'm not overly bothered about conventional stripes, as such, but it kind of stops being a proper Saints kit IMO when the shorts aren't black. Not overly keen on red socks either, it's white or black for me (best stripes kit was the late 80s Draper kit with black shorts black socks both with white trim).

For me moving on but keeping whats best of the past is key for me, we are red and white and we have to keep that (or not ha ha) and everything else is up for discussion.

The post - Denmark late eighties hummel stripes kit was absolute perfection IMO.
The9 Posted 19 March, 2014 Author Posted 19 March, 2014 Anyone who says we didn't wear stripes in the 80s is a massive spud. The Air Florida/Rank Xerox etc Patrick kit was a broad white stripe, two narrower red stripes and two white stripes down the side. The next Patrick kit (Centenary shirt), yeah, that was red (with shiny red shadow stripes). The "Denmark" hummel kit was loads of red and white stripes in two shades to also create a halved effect overall. The next hummel kit was bona fide red and white stripes. Last year's kit, not stripes. I'm still not buying any of this "kit is signed off, can't change it" crap, it's March, we've not launched until August before. If they want to swap it, they can, just launch the yellow one first.

Problem with that one is that the top half of the back of it is plain red. I know, cos I ordered a blue/black set for a local club in the summer, back is half black.

"As far as red and white stripes go, the front of that one is perfection IMO."

"As far as red and white stripes go, the front of that one is perfection IMO." Can't argue with a nice stripe. To be honest, after the last couple of seasons I think I'm over the whole "plain panel for the numbers" problem now though...
St Jim Posted 20 March, 2014 Posted 20 March, 2014 Like a lot of ohters on here, for me I can't go past this - Is there anyone out there who doesn't like it?

Goatboy Posted 20 March, 2014 Posted 20 March, 2014 I don't like the cup in the background... Busted! I think this would be a cracking kit (though the collar and cuffs need sorting). Saying that, I haven't worn a replica kit since I was 12.
St Jim Posted 20 March, 2014 Posted 20 March, 2014 I don't like the cup in the background... It's not a cup, it has a Pompey badge on it, it's a mug.
Matthew Le God Posted 20 March, 2014 Posted 20 March, 2014 Even if we go back to stripes we won't look identical to Stoke next season, as they are moving from Adidas to Warrior... http://www.stokecityfc.com/news/article/stoke-city-announce-warrior-link-up-1430103.aspx

Tokyo-Saint Posted 20 March, 2014 Posted 20 March, 2014 It's not a cup, it has a Pompey badge on it, it's a mug. You're a mug if you paid money for that!

Saint Billy Posted 21 March, 2014 Posted 21 March, 2014 Are we staying with Adidas for next year? Might be wrong but I remember something about the don falling out with Adidas and that they have pulled the plug.
diggers Posted 21 March, 2014 Posted 21 March, 2014 I quite like the Monaco kit this year, red/white diagonal but with red shorts IMHO would look different to all the other stripe kits but bring back more white into a kit thats currently too red.
BlakeySFC Posted 21 March, 2014 Posted 21 March, 2014 Are we staying with Adidas for next year? We have a contract with adidas for next season, this doesn't mean however, that another manufacturer could theoretically come in and supersede our contract with adidas (Warrior just took over adidas' contract with Stoke City a few days ago). From everything I've heard though, I would say there's a very slim chance we'll be changing manufcaturer.
SaintAndyB Posted 22 March, 2014 Posted 22 March, 2014 For me, it has to be red and white. Whether it's like our Rank Xerox kit or if it's like championship promotion kit.
The9 Posted 22 March, 2014 Author Posted 22 March, 2014 Stoke didn't end their deal with Adidas, their 4 year contract finishes this summer. We still have a deal in place with Adidas (can't remember but I think it was 3 years?).
