Cestrian Saint Posted 4 April, 2014 Share Posted 4 April, 2014 The full red kit does make some sense... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/science-news/6097954/Why-teams-in-red-win-more.html The club seem to be heavily into sports science and looking at ways to gain the slightest advantage. If wearing Red has a psychological effect and makes us feel more confident as well as being perceived by others as more aggressive and dominant then I'm all for it.

Chez Posted 4 April, 2014 Share Posted 4 April, 2014 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.

Mowgli Posted 11 April, 2014 Share Posted 11 April, 2014 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!!).

The Kraken Posted 11 April, 2014 Share Posted 11 April, 2014 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.

sarblaster Posted 11 April, 2014 Share Posted 11 April, 2014 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; First person to guess which team it came from gets a sweetie.

Saint86 Posted 11 April, 2014 Share Posted 11 April, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a url - http://www.footballshirtculture.com/fantasy-kit-design/fantasy-kit-design/saints-14-15-home-23193.html 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 ) 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daft Kerplunk Posted 11 April, 2014 Share Posted 11 April, 2014 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.

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. 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.

The Kraken Posted 11 April, 2014 Share Posted 11 April, 2014 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.
