Finally, the long-overdue 2018/19 kit thread...

[GarrettIvo]

Unless mistaken, the 'kit' was for sale on the Under Armour site previously. Surely they'd not be able to do that (sell 'false goods') if it wasn't real - especially when it was tagged as "Southampton 2018-19 Home Kit" etc.

 

So I think its clear the 'kit' is the kit, but this is just trying to get some hits their side, and hold some form of suspense (if there is indeed any really left....)

 

But was it? Genuine question.

 

Did anybody actually attempt to buy it from the site? Or did we all just see the link to the shirt, and then it was removed?

[saint77]

wouldn't surprise me if we had our chain pulled by the media team last week still were find out tomorrow

See post 361 - an Australian supporter was pictured wearing the new shirt.

 

I can’t see the point in going to all this effort for a hoax. The simplest answer is probably the most likely - someone at UA screwed up.

[Crab Lungs]

It's a Goat ??

 

 

 

Goat is an abbreviation for greatest of all time.

If that’s what they’re getting at. Or do they mean le tiss is the goat?

 

Neek weirdos.

He is the only person with that shirt on. Beginning to think he was part of the plan.

yep same here

[St Louis]

Surely if it was all a big joke they would have teased us with a blue kit or something? Not an average looking red and white striped kit?

[CB Fry]

If it's all a trick then fair play to the club. The Australian photo could easily be staged, as could the link up on the site.

 

As Garrevito says, no one seems to have actually bought it.

 

Let's see.

No, because then you've got a story you can't control. That would make the tabloids - saints new Chinese owners enrage fans with blue kit shock etc etc.

 

Even the club saying "no it's just a joke" would be met with cynicism.

Great spot. Saints goat marching in.

[VectisSaint]

Now, looking in retrospect.

 

We March on, on the collar

No discernable price tag.

No discernable security tag.

 

Have we be sold up the swanny here?

 

Not to mention it was in Hong Kong, easiest place in the world to get a few shirts made cheaply in a back street tailor's.

Messi to Saints...

OK then, not blue, maybe plain red with yellow trim or something?

They surely wouldn't use a totally legit looking striped kit which some people would actually like, for risk of the actual real one being less popular!?

[ErwinK1961]

Got to give the media guys kudos, they are fantastic. They've made the best of a bad situation and have got people second guessing - which is the best they could hope for.

 

Just wish the football side were just as good.

[ally_uk]

Greatest of all time could this be a clue? Like a remake of the most popular saints kit? Air florida?

[Saint86]

Saints fans are going to be very disappointing this summer. That much is obvious.

[ally_uk]

Why are you in the know? Or just being negative?

[Matthew Le God]

Greatest of all time could this be a clue? Like a remake of the most popular saints kit? Air florida?

 

We've just had that in 2017/18

 

 

Unless you mean the away shirt, which is far better than any yellow kit we've had...

Matt Le Tiss holding a goat, best summer yet.

[CB Fry]

Er, that's just happened already.

[OttawaSaint]

The varied width stripes Admiral 78-80 kit would be a good choice IMO.

[Nolan]

Something based on the 1976 kit?

Wash your mouth out. A blue shirt better than any yellow we've had? Saying that is an arrestable offence in Southampton.

To be honest I think the joke is the reference in the video to the leak rather than the leak itself being the joke.

 

As this exchange has shown, it's far to risky to try and carry off.

[OttawaSaint]

The video is pretty funny.

That one! The 78-80 and the 76 are essentially the same kit but with slight differences in badge, socks.

 

Would love that!

[EBS1980]

I don’t believe it but If that shirt is available for sale has only one person posted a photo of themselves wearing it???

[Batman]

Thought that video was quit funny to be fair

[niceandfriendly]

That is very fair. Very fair indeed.

Where would the club be without jordan and the boys in social media, right pal?

[Pilchards]

I tried to contact the original poster of this shirt on Twitter and I ended on a dead-end.

Its like he’s fallen off the planet.

Get yourself a girlfriend!

[Chez]

Would love it if the kit that it could be is worse than the one we think it is.

Return to the bra kit?

[doggface]

They just leaked Charlie Austin in the home kit on the o/s for pre order. Now gone.

 

It is as expected what we have already seen.

Still on there now

[doggface]

That's it just found it again but could not post. Black and red hooped socks!?! wtf

[Saint Albert]

Saints put the Keystone Cops in charge of this year’s kit launch.

[sotonjoe]

It’s on the front page of the os. Just scroll down.

[Crab Lungs]

Good to see McCarthy featured.

 

TFFT.

[OttawaSaint]

Years from now we’ll discover that Glasgow is Les...

[jamesfp1]

Looks alright on

[qwertyell]

I guess that means they're not planning on dumping that unfit, brittle waste of space and we're going have another season built around the lament "if only Austin wasn't injured".

 

Yay.

Going out on a limb here (kill me now), I quite like it!

 

There's only so many things you can do with red n white stripes; grab a red tee shirt, cutesy black trim, slap a deckchair canvas on the front, what's not to like? It's not Sunland Stoke or Sheff Utd, it's a modern take on a traditional classic. I like the black shorts, it would have been a leap of faith to have blue shorts but that would be cool too.

 

Black and red hooped socks are a bit Littlewoods catalogue/Scottish Div 2 but you can't always get what you want.

[pluto]

Really scrapping the barrel, when a club starts to troll its own fans over a minor thing like this seasons new kit.

 

Top clubs just release images and have done weeks ago.

 

Clubs dont use taglines anymore either because its been done to death.

This, 100%.

Club is a ****ing mess.

[beatlesaint]

I’m warming to the home shirt to be honest. I’ve seen worse over the years - the pony tick kit for a start !
