Cascadia Saint Posted 13 May, 2015 Posted 13 May, 2015 The sign of a mature and confident organisation is one that can laugh at itself. Same as people really. Like it. Exactly! I'm happy they're all comfortable enough to take the Player Integrated Stripes Strategy out of themselves...
Patrick Bateman Posted 13 May, 2015 Posted 13 May, 2015 . https://www.clubcall.com/southampton/saints-role-for-colour-expert-1769246.html F**king hell, brilliant!
Convict Colony Posted 13 May, 2015 Posted 13 May, 2015 I knew I recognised the actor, he is in Cockroaches and Plebs which are both funny as fark.
Goatboy Posted 13 May, 2015 Posted 13 May, 2015 This will surely be all over the media before the weekend. Absolute quality.

mcjwills Posted 13 May, 2015 Posted 13 May, 2015 That was funny as ****, marketing genius, it's gotta make soccer am on saturday
S-Clarke Posted 13 May, 2015 Posted 13 May, 2015 That was funny as ****, marketing genius, it's gotta make soccer am on saturday Probably won't be on Soccer AM. I reckon it may get an airing on fletch and sav though, given that they're covering our game from 10am and their producer is Saints fan chris nutbeam (who used to produce soccer am for what it's worth).
S-Clarke Posted 13 May, 2015 Posted 13 May, 2015 It won't be on Soccer AM because it's funny. Yeah, and that.
suewhistle Posted 13 May, 2015 Posted 13 May, 2015 Some good sports and not bad acting by the players..
Golden Balls Posted 13 May, 2015 Posted 13 May, 2015 Superb! Already all over the internet. Our media department is fantastic!
SarniaSaint Posted 13 May, 2015 Posted 13 May, 2015 That was great......the best self p*ss take in along time............if you can't laugh at yourself you can't laugh at anyone.........well done SAINTS
Gingeletiss Posted 13 May, 2015 Posted 13 May, 2015 This will surely be all over the media before the weekend. Absolute quality. I can't find it on youtube yet!
BadgerBadger Posted 14 May, 2015 Posted 14 May, 2015 He's even listed in the staff profiles...attention to detail par excellence - well played
andoru Posted 14 May, 2015 Posted 14 May, 2015 Loved it. Not too many clubs would make a video so blatantly insulting their rivals ("What's this pompey player doing on my board?!") or with beeped-out swearing (P.I.S.S. Haha!). I liked the go-faster stripes.
Coxford_lou Posted 14 May, 2015 Posted 14 May, 2015 I'm embarrassed to say his job sounds like my job
mrfahaji Posted 14 May, 2015 Posted 14 May, 2015 Clearly there is a bit of Brent about him, but Barry Gale also reminds me a bit of Jemaine from Flight of the Conchords.
sussexsaint Posted 14 May, 2015 Posted 14 May, 2015 That is brilliantly done - really a very difficult thing to put together and everyone involved was fantastic. Actually very proud of the club for this. Hope it gets the widespread recognition it fully deserves
Goatboy Posted 14 May, 2015 Posted 14 May, 2015 Someone with techy skills needs to get this on youtube and twitter etc.
capitalsaint Posted 14 May, 2015 Posted 14 May, 2015 Someone with techy skills needs to get this on youtube and twitter etc. just send a fax to the internet, somebody should respond within 2 business days
Goatboy Posted 14 May, 2015 Posted 14 May, 2015 just send a fax to the internet, somebody should respond within 2 business days On my way to post office so will mail drop the local newspaper offices.
Shance Posted 14 May, 2015 Posted 14 May, 2015 Very enjoyable video that. I love that a date has been set for the kit launch. Gives us all something to look forward to.
Convict Colony Posted 14 May, 2015 Posted 14 May, 2015 Someone with techy skills needs to get this on youtube and twitter etc. Its on the clubs youtube channel - https://www.youtube.com/user/theofficialsaints
Pancake Posted 14 May, 2015 Posted 14 May, 2015 Someone with techy skills needs to get this on youtube and twitter etc. You just watched it on youtube though? Or am I missing something here?
Saint-scooby Posted 14 May, 2015 Posted 14 May, 2015 On the flip side is this a corporate cushion for the first £75 Saints top ?
Goatboy Posted 14 May, 2015 Posted 14 May, 2015 You just watched it on youtube though? Or am I missing something here? I watched it on here and couldn't work out how to copy the video url coz i is technoidiot.
Goatboy Posted 14 May, 2015 Posted 14 May, 2015 You just watched it on youtube though? Or am I missing something here? I also use a pen and paper most of the time.
cobraBLACK Posted 14 May, 2015 Posted 14 May, 2015 Did anyone else notice the poor pixelation attempt on his name badge during the 'high press' explanation scene? Nice. "If you're not from Southampton you probably don't understand but, if you're not from Southampton, who cares?" I wanna see those stripes back on Fonte's Bentley.
The9 Posted 14 May, 2015 Posted 14 May, 2015 Very enjoyable video that. I love that a date has been set for the kit launch. Gives us all something to look forward to. Although not for long, as it's tomorrow.
Mr Biscuits Posted 14 May, 2015 Posted 14 May, 2015 I'll be honest I can't stop watching this, it's so bloody funny
DT Posted 14 May, 2015 Posted 14 May, 2015 Well done Saints. Absolutely excellent. Thought it a bit more W1A than The Office, but still great. I love Saints.
Ohio Saint Posted 14 May, 2015 Posted 14 May, 2015 Absolutely top quality funny stuff. It demands to be watched at least 3 times just to make sure you catch everything. This is first class marketing, and makes me proud to be a Saint!!!
Sevvy Posted 14 May, 2015 Posted 14 May, 2015 The new kit released on my birthday as well, very funny video.
S-Clarke Posted 14 May, 2015 Posted 14 May, 2015 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3080386/Southampton-hire-expert-colour-pattern-psychology-help-players-adapt-new-kit.html Have the Daily Mail been living in a hole for the last season?
SaintLiam Posted 14 May, 2015 Posted 14 May, 2015 I honestly can't stop watching it. I think the club should stop playing football and start a new TV show
Ohio Saint Posted 14 May, 2015 Posted 14 May, 2015 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3080386/Southampton-hire-expert-colour-pattern-psychology-help-players-adapt-new-kit.html Have the Daily Mail been living in a hole for the last season? Wow. That article should have been strangled at birth!!
Ohio Saint Posted 14 May, 2015 Posted 14 May, 2015 I honestly can't stop watching it. Yeah, I know. Trust me, I know!
ericofarabia Posted 14 May, 2015 Author Posted 14 May, 2015 Yeah, I know. Trust me, I know! I reckon I've seen it at least 10 times now ... and there will be plenty more to come!! Ohio young laddy .. your mission (if you want it or not!!) is to get The Whole of The USA "High Pressing" I really hope it catches on and becomes a Southampton Cult
Ohio Saint Posted 14 May, 2015 Posted 14 May, 2015 (edited) Ohio young laddy .. your mission (if you want it or not!!) is to get The Whole of The USA "High Pressing" I really hope it catches on and becomes a Southampton Cult I'm ahead of you. That was my first thought as soon as I saw the video. I'm going to work soon, and teaching the high press to anyone warped enough to hold a conversation with me. However, to make it more appealing to the natives, I was thinking of ending it with a thumb to the nose and finger wiggling thing to round it off as an FU to the skates. .......And if the regular high press became a cult thing in Southampton? That would be awesome!!! Edit: It would also be great to see the players using the high press during goal celebrations, assuming we ever get another goal this seaon. Edited 14 May, 2015 by Ohio Saint

Maybe they could do it each time we win a throw in or corner, and build on from there.
Colinjb Posted 14 May, 2015 Posted 14 May, 2015 It got a mention on the Colin Murray show today, he described it in glowing terms. A stunningly good bit of PR.
S-Clarke Posted 14 May, 2015 Posted 14 May, 2015 It got a mention on the Colin Murray show today, he described it in glowing terms. A stunningly good bit of PR. Yeah, this is top marketing to be fair. Not just aiming at your own customers, but reaching out and getting interest from others who would otherwise not batter an eyelid. I remember last year it was mentioned that we'd appointed the former Apple Marketing guru - wonder if they're the brains behind this.
Cascadia Saint Posted 14 May, 2015 Posted 14 May, 2015 seems that others seem to find it amusing. They noticed a couple of things I missed - like the sound of the ball hitting the crossbar when he kicks it away at the end! Genius attention to detail!
