VectisSaint Posted 23 May, 2018 Share Posted 23 May, 2018 Maybe when ericb said it'll "please the traditionalists" he was refering to a white shirt with red sash design...? Cherry and white halves or quarters with blue knickers and blue stockings perhaps. Not sure what the Ladies team might wear though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pamplemousse Posted 23 May, 2018 Share Posted 23 May, 2018 I wonder, therefore, if the home kit follows that same template but with it being white with red stripes, similar to the Championship promotion home kit. Plain white back too I presume, which I personally prefer to the red. I guess we can also rule out the away kit being a dark blue or black, as all our kits would therefore clash with Bournemouth. Maybe it's back to yellow and blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonman Posted 23 May, 2018 Share Posted 23 May, 2018 That shirt is vile, even if it is only a 3rd. Return to a sash would be sweet, but watch UA make a pigs ear of it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Albert Posted 23 May, 2018 Share Posted 23 May, 2018 Or maybe it’s the 3rd home shirt UA have made for us? This makes more sense to me than having a red third shirt.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It’s not rocket science to work out our second kit. The whole kit is all yellow plus where it has the black on the sleeve and collar you swap for blue. The logo stays red with the badge the same. On the back will have a blue line running above the players name. Pretty nice and I will certainly think about buying it.

edprice1984 Posted 24 May, 2018 Share Posted 24 May, 2018 It is a football kit. You don't have to buy it! Personally I have thought ever since the sash kit, we should retain that design - it would give us an separate identity compared to the numerous other sides who play in Red and White stripes. I am looking forward to a return to Yellow and Blue in our away kit - its been a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking forward to a return to Yellow and Blue in our away kit - its been a few years. As a (presumably) fellow 1984er, I'm surprised by this. Red & white stripes feels like our idendity, regardless of who else has them. I grew up watching Saints play in red and white stripes. I liked the sash kit and I loved last season's (in fact I own both the Sash and the Air Florida kit), so wouldn't be averse to them, but to me I will always see red & white stripes with black shorts (yes I know, navy, but that was before I was born) as our colours!

Bananaman Posted 24 May, 2018 Share Posted 24 May, 2018 They could play in pink for all I care. I'm not under 10 years old so a colour of a kit has no bearing on my life whatsoever. By that rationale neither does football and, as such, your whole relationship with the sport and, indeed, your comment on this thread are existentially pointless.

The9 Posted 24 May, 2018 Author Share Posted 24 May, 2018 I really liked the design to be honest, it's a shame that it had to be accociated with such a crap season. Wouldn't be against us keeping it, but we won't as they want our $$. They announced the kits would change every season when they announced the UA deal. I see no reason to doubt the third kit leak, the style is consistent with the AZ shirt already posted. FWIW I like the all red third kit, but only because it's a third kit. If the yellow away is true, and the home is back to stripes which seems likely, we'd have the all red for matches against teams wearing white and "another colour" shirts, eg where the opposition wear blue, so we don't have to mix the yellow away with the black home shorts. The past couple of seasons we've added a white 3rd shirt, red-backed home shirt, red alternate away shorts and white, and red, alternative socks anyway, so they may as well make it official from the start and not serve up any surprises. So I'm guessing from this that it'll be a white/red striped home shirt with white sleeves (and plain back???), black shorts and white socks; and the third kit is the shirt we've seen, red shorts and red socks. Away kit will sit on its own - though I wonder if it might be yellow/blue stripes (which would give us a reason for a third kit due to it resembling Newcastle's home - a bit). This season's clash at Newcastle will be covered by the red third. Bournemouth sorted by the yellow away, Huddersfield covered by the third (if they didn't want to use yellow), Brighton by the third kit. One other thing, as the shorts clash regulations are different in the EFL we might have factored the alternate kit options into that possibility as well...? Also as far as pointless third kits go, if Huddersfield can get away with having red/black hoops and black with pink as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 24 May, 2018 Author Share Posted 24 May, 2018 Also, just noticed that that red third kit pic has panels under the arms and what appears to be a sealed-on (rather than embroidered) badge, which if they follow the same pattern as the shirts (mainly) in the past two seasons means the shirt in the pic is player stock rather than a replica. You can see the V-shaped underarm panel on the 2016/17 Premier League shirt and on the 2016/17 third kit (which shows the heat-sealed badge better too): but there's no under-pit panel on the replica, and the badge is embroidered: The Bednarek shirt here shows the black away has the pit panel and heat-sealed badge rather than embroidered this season too: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/match-worn-shirt-Southampton-Jan-Bednarek-2017-2018-Vs-Swansea-/173311812252?nma=true&si=1DuibpXiBoomz2YtfzdLkOLRUdY%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 and the home also has the heat-sealed badge https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Jan-Bednarek-Worn-Home-Shirt-Southampton-FC-17-18-Season-/192540892162 So there might not be replicas of the third kit for sale yet...

The9 Posted 24 May, 2018 Author Share Posted 24 May, 2018 St Pauli detail shows the same seam pattern as the leaked Saints 3rd shirt (as well as a hexagonal UA "lozenge" near the hem of the shirt which can also just about be seen on the Saints leak), and these shorts and socks 2018/19: I'd say those socks in white/red or red/white look in line with our choice of hooped socks for most of the past few seasons...
