Charlie Wayman Posted 28 January, 2015 Share Posted 28 January, 2015 As this is a pointless thread, here's my pointless six penny worth... Similar home kit to this year but the white stripes replaced by the darker colour currently used as rings on our socks. That would look classy!

the_emu Posted 29 January, 2015 Share Posted 29 January, 2015 Where does the megastore owner fit in the sliding scale of ITK? Somewhere on the spectrum between the security guard and the cabbie who knows a security guard. I'm picking mini me every day of the week, his emphatic response would suggest he's most likely the company owner, which would be rather funny.

The9 Posted 11 February, 2015 Author Share Posted 11 February, 2015 So, under the assumption that we'll be wearing adidas (based on last year's rumour that we only went own brand due to time constraints after Cortese's deal-cancelling antics and had already agreed to rejoin them), here are some of the new 2015 MLS shirts and a other 2015/16 adidas leaks not already on the thread. They're pretty much all in line with the two main styles already out there from adidas - the mesh ones with the contrast tape at the bottom, and the ones with the contrast tape at the bottom on sides and back but not the front - and a previously unlinked collar style which looks a lot like our Championship promotion season one: Sporting Cristal: Millonarios: NY Red Bulls Seattle Montreal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 11 February, 2015 Author Share Posted 11 February, 2015 Argentina (Home and Away): Home looks pretty plain and a different template (same as Millonarios) - no tape around the bottom at all and the shoulder section. Portland Timbers Ponte Preta - note the adidas stripes all the way down the sleeves - makes me think it must be teamwear (see Man U kit mock up above, they always leave a gap for the competition badge). Also, I think that blue thing is one of next season's adidas keeper's shirts. New England Revolution (away) [Toronto, Chicago away and Vancouver are the same template too, without the contrast yoke] Sporting Kansas (Columbus home/away are same, without the tartan bit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 11 February, 2015 Author Share Posted 11 February, 2015 It looks to me like adidas are playing mix and match with their styles this year. Plain V, plain round neck, button round neck, inset V and button collared shirts. Four different sleeve/shoulder options. Mesh, overlap, plain, and square-block (Cristal and NE kits) cuffs. Mesh overlap, plain overlap, plain and square-block hems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyOldBoy Posted 12 February, 2015 Share Posted 12 February, 2015 Can not understand why Saints are dragging their heels over the kit contract for next season. Their club shop apparel offerings are dire and shirt sales must be winding down by now ( as they do most seasons about now ) .... surely they can tie up a deal and get it announced quickly to enhance brand-Saints.... I had it on very good jungle drums that Puma were in a position to dig Saints out of a hole for this season but Saints were not interested... so presumably they are in a position to supply next !? Another season of home-kit embarrassment and faulty returns is surely not on the cards... is it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Louis Posted 13 February, 2015 Share Posted 13 February, 2015 Can not understand why Saints are dragging their heels over the kit contract for next season. They aren't.... Not sure this is really of interest or not, but I had a meeting with a couple of the clubs marketing department last week and they were telling me that they had just had the 'big reveal' of the kits internally last week and they had seen the Home, Away and Keeper kits in full.... and loved them! They wouldn't even give me an inkling on the design (stripes, sash, etc) and trust me I tried so hard to get it out of them! But all I can share is that the kit is signed off and all done, the consensus internally was a positive one, and the kit is now in production phase ready for the summer launch.

The9 Posted 13 February, 2015 Author Share Posted 13 February, 2015 I'm pretty confident that if we're not making it ourselves it'll still be stripes, as the manufacturer/branding becomes the unique selling point again. If it was another Saints own job (and there's no reason it would be), that likelihood drops a small amount, just because they have to make it different enough from last season to encourage the floaters to buy one. I'm fairly comfortable that the people running the club are on board with stripes now as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saxon Posted 14 February, 2015 Share Posted 14 February, 2015 Have to make a confession, I can appreciate the historical nature of the sash, but it doesn't do it for me.
