SaintsFanNYC Posted 8 January, 2016 Share Posted 8 January, 2016 I was thinking of buying one of the current road shirts. Green and blue don't really seem like traditional Soton colors, but green does happen to be my favorite color, so why not. Only thing is, last year I bought one of the 2015 shirts only to find that they were reduced in price by 50% two weeks later because of the move to Adidas. Does anyone think it's likely the current road shirts will be reduced a month from now because they'll have a new design in 2016/17? Or are the road shirts unlikely to change (along with the price) in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectisSaint Posted 8 January, 2016 Share Posted 8 January, 2016 "Road" shirts? He means "away". Yes they will change for next season because we won't have Adidas from what I have heard on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkish Posted 8 January, 2016 Share Posted 8 January, 2016 Hey SaintsfanNYC, it'd be totally awesome if you'd buy a southampton saints Soccerball road shirt! I know the colors don't reflect the traditon of the Soccerball club but hell, neither does having some many fans in the US of A! So get your order in and lets bring this one home!

Rumour is more than strong that we will have a different kit make next year so probably best to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nta786 Posted 9 January, 2016 Share Posted 9 January, 2016 The f**k is a road shirt? As for the OP, I do recommend you wait till the end of season, I reckon the football kit will go down up to 50% maybe when they have a mass clearout! Mind you though, if you aren't quick enough the only sizes ever left are XXL/XXXL/5XL... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint-Fred Posted 9 January, 2016 Share Posted 9 January, 2016 i wouldn't image they'd be reduced for a couple/few months yet. It's almost certain that a new kit is brought out every season now so a reduction should happen regardless of the shirt maker but as has been said the popular sizes go quick..which if the generilastions about the USA are right may not be an issue Sorry couldn't resist. So really it's buy now for the second half of the season, buy at the end of the season at Half price but for an out of date shirt or wait until July/August and pay full price for the new design which will be the latest version which the team will wear for the next 9 months!

St Chalet Posted 9 January, 2016 Share Posted 9 January, 2016 The kits have been sold off at 75% and then further reduced 50% in recent years from memory. The away (road) shirts tend not to be available in the normal sizes by the time the sales roll around as they are ordered in lower quantities. If you really want the shirt, I'd order it now.

SaintsFanNYC Posted 9 January, 2016 Author Share Posted 9 January, 2016 To those of you with genuine responses, much obliged. To those of you who love mocking the sportsbally condominium-dwelling American, your condescension is delightful. That said, I've been following Southampton since the days of James Beattie and Claus Lundekvam. I listened to the 2003 FA Cup Final on internet radio when there was no TV coverage in the States. I watched Inigo Idiakez kick it over the bar in the 2007 championship play-offs on a play-by-play ticker on BBC Sports' website because you couldn't find a TV feed of it anywhere in the U.S. I now watch Southampton every week because of NBC's TV deal with the Premier League, I've been to St. Mary's and will go again and invest more than my fair share of time in the club. If you want to make yourself feel superior toward someone you've never met, go nuts, but let's see you all try to follow a team in the third division from halfway around the world in the mid-2000s when following the Premier League from outside Europe was a challenge. It's tricky, but it's rewarding, except, I suppose, when you run into "Fans" like these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take it as a right of passage - if you get the mick taken out of you, that means you've made it through to the inner sanctum of Saintsweb. It's like an initiation.
