JonnyOldBoy Posted 9 March, 2015 Posted 9 March, 2015 They're selling off the own-brand 2014/15 shirts already, may be that means the new shirt will get an early announcement this year instead of having to wait until mid-July... The new kit may be "revealed" earlier than usual.... but the actual kit I suspect will again be late June/early July in the shops. The main advantage of signing early with Adidas is that they can get the other apparel in the shops quicker and maybe link in with some of the ( very high ) quality adidas designs currently being prepared for their "big" contracts.... the sooner the better... :-)

It could be 1st July like it has been for the past few years, but fairly sure as there's no "brand" involved, there's nothing stopping them selling adidas stuff now other than the desire to flog the old stock. I went in and bought 5 shirts and a pair of shorts on the weekend. I'd actually be pretty keen on them launching some of THIS year's adidas stock with Saints logos on so there's something to buy over the summer, then next season's 2 ranges of stuff once the season's under way and the team is wearing it.
Badger Posted 9 March, 2015 Posted 9 March, 2015 In case anyone is wondering the sort of detailing that makes a shirt "not a teamwear kit", this is the kind of thing adidas can do if they're asked to: Great. They can make it look like luxury super soft toilet roll. The stripes are back. Perhaps it could be marketed as 'The 'wipes' are back. or, red and wipe... A whole new marketing campaign could be born out of this.

Surely if in February it was "too late" to be able to make the kit ready for August (still think it's a joke that adidas couldn't manage it but we could) then it's too soon to be able to produce adidas saints gear for the summer.
scdean Posted 10 March, 2015 Posted 10 March, 2015 Basel This is classy. This with red and white halves would look great. Although people claim to know it will be a sash, I cant really see them going away from stripes after one season, after everyone fought so hard to get them back. any rumours floating around regarding away kit?

That would be an awesome home kit, going back to the 80's! I think stripes will be stuck with though. Away kit wise, id love us to go back to yellow & blue, i think most fans would be over the moon with that.
Sammy_Saint Posted 10 March, 2015 Posted 10 March, 2015 How about this for an away kit?? think this would be smart with afew tweaks

Who fought hard to get them back? We had a facebook campaign where the person running it went out bought the plain kit anyway, others saying the plain red kit was amazing and going to crack the asian market and few people moaning it wasnt stripes.

Let's not forget that 324 people liked the page, which considering we usually get c. 30,000 fans at the Stadium is a whole 1.08% of the matchday fanbase who were fighting hard.
Baird of the land Posted 10 March, 2015 Posted 10 March, 2015 Rank Zerox style kit for me! Yep still want that.

No new training kit will appear in the shop until Adidas issue their styles as per the Bayern Munich / Chelsea designs... I can guarantee 100% that our training kit will template identically to theirs... and their contracts are HUGE and the templates are used within Europe generally for huge retail stats under various club contracts... very big sellers...
100%Red&White Posted 10 March, 2015 Posted 10 March, 2015 Yep still want that. Current Ajax Adidas kit in a Rank Xerox-ish reverse.
Saxon Posted 10 March, 2015 Posted 10 March, 2015 Current Ajax Adidas kit in a Rank Xerox-ish reverse. Would absolutely loooove it to be Rank Xerox!

JonnyOldBoy Posted 11 March, 2015 Posted 11 March, 2015 They issued those a while ago and they are in use now in MLS. No , I mean the 2015/2016 designs.... there is no real prospect of Adidas giving us 2014/2015 templates training wear..... what would be the point ? It would clutter the shop with what would soon be "old hat" and make the new ranges harder to push.... As soon as Bayern and Chelsea get their summer training kit issued, ours will be quick to follow..... but this will mean virtually nothing worth buying in the Saints job until July.
Turkish Posted 11 March, 2015 Posted 11 March, 2015 Would absolutely loooove it to be Rank Xerox! Every year we have this mentioned, it's be one of the most popular kits ever if they did do a 2010s version. Don't know a single person who said they'll be unhappy with it. It won't be next season though, maybe under armour will do something to delight is when they get the contract in 2016

doggface Posted 12 March, 2015 Posted 12 March, 2015 Looked at that sheet closely and it looks plausible. Gonna chat to the source on Twitter and see if I can find out anymore.
Alwightmush Posted 12 March, 2015 Posted 12 March, 2015 Assuming this is correct, "Southampton’s new away kit is green an blue at the request of the clubs owners and is thought to tie in with a North American brand partnership." Any ideas?
Matthew Le God Posted 12 March, 2015 Posted 12 March, 2015 Assuming this is correct, "Southampton’s new away kit is green an blue at the request of the clubs owners and is thought to tie in with a North American brand partnership." Any ideas? Seattle Sounders...

CB Fry Posted 12 March, 2015 Posted 12 March, 2015 North American brand doesn't specifically mean North American football club does it? Might just mean North American Brand. Like Twinkies or Coors Light or Aunt Jemima or semi automatic assault rifles.

alehouseboys Posted 12 March, 2015 Posted 12 March, 2015 Hmm... What? No European shirt If the home shorts were the same colour as the away, we'd have a winner. Oh, and white socks...

Some other possibilities: http://www.homeforward.org/ http://blueskyfarmsltd.com/ http://esba.sustainableeastside.org/programs/green-business-challenge http://www.tufco.com/ Overall I think the Sounders are more likely.
St Jim Posted 12 March, 2015 Posted 12 March, 2015 Hmm... My [crude] version of what I'd love to see.......
VectisSaint Posted 12 March, 2015 Posted 12 March, 2015 http://www.liveforfootballshirts.com/southampton-201516-adidas-kit-designs-leaked/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+liveforfootballshirts+%28Live+For+Football+Shirts+-+For+Fans+of+Footy+Shirts+New+%26+Old%29 I guess this is bull**** ............. Have no problem with the kits, but would be a bit surprised if both the home and away shorts are black. I know the rules aren't followed to the letter any more, but i would think we would need a change of shorts colour for some games. I would also think that the backs of the home shirts would need to be modified if we play in Europe.
saint1977 Posted 12 March, 2015 Posted 12 March, 2015 BIG yes please on the green and blue sash away kit, would definitely buy that. Prefer St Jim's amended home design but wouldn't be upset if the striped design emerged.
doggface Posted 12 March, 2015 Posted 12 March, 2015 Here is a reply from the guy who posted the images on his site: Lee FootyKit Tattam @live4footyshirt 6h6 hours ago @saint_nick1980 when I posted earlier in the day I wasn't too sure, but then I received a new image and info on the away kit. 99% Certain FYI the away shorts are Blue not Black. I agree with Adrian that the adidas badge would look better on the side, Stoke are with Warrior now though who are poor IMO. Turkish, what are you saying about this? Thought you were sure the home was Sash?....
Beckenham Saint Posted 12 March, 2015 Posted 12 March, 2015 They are, but the stoke home of a season or two ago looked exactly like that and was adidas. I know there's not a huge amount can be done with stripes but it's pretty dull. I guess it doesn't matter though. The first back to stripes shirt was always going to sell well, and now the back to a proper kit manufacturer one will. I like the away shirt though. In fact I've liked our away kits better than home for a few years now. I thought this straight away when I saw it, looks exactly like one of Stokes shirts from a couple years ago.
doggface Posted 12 March, 2015 Posted 12 March, 2015 I thought this straight away when I saw it, looks exactly like one of Stokes shirts from a couple years ago. The template looks very similar (but not exact) if you mean literally. The colours are reversed for a start, we normally have a centre red stripe and they normally have white. The design above is all red sleeves and tapered in towards the midriff. FYI if this "leak" is not a red herring, It would really tie in with our aims to improve the woeful commercial side of our club. Tottenham have a 4 year partnership deal with my MLS club TFC. I know that Ralph has been to a game and been in dialogue with TFC about commercial opportunities. http://www.torontofc.ca/news/2014/04/toronto-host-tottenham-friendly A deal with an MLS club would kind of be a logical step, could this be a hint of a partnership with The Sounders? Pre-season tour anyone?
JonnyOldBoy Posted 12 March, 2015 Posted 12 March, 2015 Ok job, let me try again.... The 2015/16 Adidas training range is out now and is being used in different parts of the world including MLS. Google it bro. No , the European training range comes out each summer and never overlaps with the non-Euro stuff..... the templates are designed with inputs from a couple of clubs in Europe and then rolled out.....
Saints foreva Posted 12 March, 2015 Posted 12 March, 2015 Saw that when looking through the hashtag on twitter. Sadly it's nothing genuine and just a fan design.
Saxon Posted 12 March, 2015 Posted 12 March, 2015 Saw that when looking through the hashtag on twitter. Sadly it's nothing genuine and just a fan design. That's literally like the perfect kit....

As soon as Bayern and Chelsea get their summer training kit issued, ours will be quick to follow..... but this will mean virtually nothing worth buying in the Saints job until July. So they could sell an additional set of kit and make more money. Your point is fair that they won't do it (Adidas probably wouldn't have any to do it with) but I happen to like this year's styles. The 2015/16 training stuff is already out there though.
The9 Posted 13 March, 2015 Author Posted 13 March, 2015 Well, we can close this thread now, designs leaked and nothing else to discuss. FWIW they look completely legit, I like them, I have no idea why people are moaning that a red and white striped Adidas kit looks like another red and white striped Adidas kit, of course it does, a bit, but it isn't exactly the same... Away kit is different, bound to have alternate green shorts too. North American company in green and navy ehhh? Xbox seems too obvious and the shirt too dark.

Yes it is, but johnny disbelieves me or can't be bothered to google. Saints are getting the full Tiro15 training range as per below. It is available now as I said, and being used in other leagues now. http://www.teamsportdirect.co.uk/categories/Adidas/Adidas-Training-Range-2015/Adidas-Tiro-15-Training The Euro giants just get their pick of colour schemes and small detailing from the same Tiro 15 range. They also get a separate champions league range using different templates for the euro weeks. Edited 13 March, 2015 by doggface
