I'll stick my neck right out and say I liked last year's kit so much I bought it! That hasn't happened since 94/95 Pony/Dimplex.

Not to mention that this is a Nike parks team kit design that was worn by Man U three years ago and got foisted on the likes of Southend LAST year. And it's Nike, and we have an Adidas deal...

And of course AC. No stripes are much, much classier. We simply must get these back as soon as possible.

The badges on the socks fell off very quickly on mine. Disgracefully poor quality. I wrote into on the march fanzine to express my disgust as there were no mongboards in those days to complain on.

yet the shorts and shirt had the Hummel branding stitched in, making it far superior to the **** on offer these days.

Not really no, because being just my own opinion and all that doesn't translate into potential sales.

 

 

Oh..........you were being funny. I get it.

Stoke's stripe effort is horrible. As have been their last few home shirts.

 

There's no denying that Stokes kit in comparison to the Liverpool and Chelsea shirts looks awful.

As stripes go it's not too bad. Prefer plain though. Rank Xerox style appears to be the best compromise (who would have thought they would be still reaping the rewards of sponsorship so many years later!!).

I think the actual shirt of Stoke is about ok, but the massive red sponsor panel looks utterly gash. Quite why kits can't just be designed with a bit of thought with this in mind is ridiculous, it's really not hard to knock up a bespoke template rather than ending up with some utterly cheap looking tat.

Going down the Atletico route wouldn't hurt and it's in-keeping with the original blue instead of black. Much rather look like them than Sunderland/Brentford/Exeter. I nabbed this off the net and couldn't resist a spot of tinkering;

This.

 

The people who don't like stripes are very much in the minority.

 

I am beginning to think that is the other way around tbh, that or its a very close split.

 

And to be fair, the people who hark on about red and white striped shirts with black shorts being saints' kit really need to go look at the history books as it is not our traditional kit. Just our more recent history.

 

I have personally come to the opinion that stripes represent the old saints, and that our new kit suits are high pressing aggressive football, its actually one of my favorite kits of recent seasons, couple with the championship stripes (which i still wear to matches) and the sash.

 

For me, we either have a predominantly white striped kit, a sash kit, or something similar to this seasons. I don't think Rank xerox will happen to be honest.

 

All those kits listed are broadly different to the fat striped kits of yesteryear or in use by other teams.

 

But that is just me.

 

I think if this years kit had not had gold on it, it would have been a stunner.

That would be stunning in fairness, slender stripes rather than fat ones, keeping a nice touch of red round the top, and loving the navy! really good mix of historical kit types. (Sash for the away :blush:)

 

It's almost a carbon copy of bilbao, but that is not addidas. Either way I'll guess at bilbao?

 

Love the addition of Navy!

Regardless of whether anyone like stripes or not, do you really think this year's kit, with or without gold, is a stunner? It looks s**t, very cheap indeed.

 

By the way, what other kit styles suit certain styles of play? I never knew the two were so closely aligned.

have to say watching Atletico Madrid the other night, the blue shorts looked good and if they are the colours we'd used in the past, then maybe we should return that way. Plus, I liked watching a red and white striped team make the semis of the Champions league very much

Swindon Town, Bristol City, Barnsley and all the other forward thinking modern football clubs in plain red have always played a high pressing modern style of football.

 

We only started with this season's stunner of a kit.

 

Maybe Fulham or Norwich should change to a stunner plain red kit for the last five games of the season. Safety assured.

Yep, short of getting one similar to early 80's Xerox era kit, this with dark blue shorts for me would look the K9's knackers!

 

good work sarblaster

That is one of the strangest things I've ever read.

Yep, very nice shirt, very traditional for us with the deep cherry red stripes and dark blue (the skates were still wearing pink back in those days). Only problem is it's adidas and if the rumours are true...

Agreed, a nice throwback to the very early kits. But with the Addidas stock on 50% off in the club shop + the rumours..... I just hope we get a good option next year.

What rumours?

 

The kit will 100% be made by someone next season.

And to be fair, the people who hark on about red and white striped shirts with black shorts being saints' kit really need to go look at the history books as it is not our traditional kit.

Saints wore red and white stripes and dark blue shorts from the inception of Southampton Football Club in 1896 to 1950. From 1950 to 1980 it was red and white stripes with black shorts. From 1980 to 1989 it was a mix of red and white tops, but always with black shorts. Then back to red and white stripes until the masterful Cortese revolution (with the sash along the way for posterity).

 

So red and white stripes are clearly our traditional kit. And since 1950, with black shorts.

I have personally come to the opinion that stripes represent the old saints, and that our new kit suits are high pressing aggressive football.

I have personally come to the opinion that you are a dribbling moron. A kit does not define a side's football. The Rank Xerox kit was not great because it was worn during a period when Saints were a great side. It was a great kit because it was a great kit.

Sorry bud that looks horrible

 

I dont mind the other photoshop option with the blue trim, looks quite nice. In general I dont much like stripes at all. This years kit Ive got used to and dont mind.

 

The away this year is the best we have had for a while.

 

Though Im not one to judge really as id never buy a football top anyway.

Stripes look rubbish with most sponsors.

 

I like this template shirt, if someone wants to mock it up with Saints badge and sponsor.

Similar to the Hearts shirt a couple of seasons ago.
