Badger Posted 11 June, 2018 Share Posted 11 June, 2018 Good spot. I wonder where white/light blue is on the contrast scale? Well, there goes all the logical argument out of the window again... It also seems to dispel the myth about all shirts having to have a solid colour on the back as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt The9 will be along shortly to explain why this isn't possible due to mix of fabric or type of stitch used. Clubs tend not to change shorts which don't match the rest of their kit unless they get caught out anymore - example being Arsenal choosing to create some red shorts last season at Huddersfield rather than wear their away kit, or away shorts with the home kit. Guessing we'll wear all red at Watford as well as some of the others mentioned above then. Could wear the home shirt, red shorts (assuming they're the third shorts) and either red or white socks, though. But probably won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last five minutes in a hot wash I suspect. For a £50 item I'd expect these items to be sewn in. Football shirts a total rip off and every year more so.

Appears that way from the latest tweet What makes you think that? I think the video is just acknowledging the kit is already out there, not that it is a fake leak by them.

LGTL Posted 15 June, 2018 Share Posted 15 June, 2018 It's just to try and drum up some interest, get us thinking that it's all been one been troll from the club. Creates the uncertainty that the leak has prevented. It'll clearly be the leaked shirt, it's for sale on the Under Armour website FFS, and I highly doubt they'd be in on it too.

It probably is the leaked shirt, but there is nothing on the UA website. Not since the original "leak" was pulled off. And why wouldn't they be in on it?

GarrettIvo Posted 15 June, 2018 Share Posted 15 June, 2018 If those kits aren't the real ones, what viral marketing would UA be benefitting from exactly? What's the point of any PR stunt/campaign. Just thinking about all that anger directed at the leaked shirt from most people on here ( I actually don't mind it) , and how that might change if they have indeed pulled off some sort of bait and switch. If they pull out an incredible sash kit tomorrow, the attitude towards UA could change dramatically. Would that necessarily translate to shirt sales? Probably not. It's a small target audience anyway. But they benefit from the soft marketing that comes with being seen as willing to play along with a long-con to create discussion and interest in the product. They can point to it later as an example of being different/creative etc. I still presume the kits we've seen will be the release ones, but I'm not ruling out the possibility of this all being a huge PR stunt. If it is, they'll have crunched all sorts of figures to decide if it worth the effort. That's just an opinion. Your's may differ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT Posted 15 June, 2018 Share Posted 15 June, 2018 Just watched the club trailer. It is possible, given that Le Tiss was holding a sheep, that the club is saying that we are like sheep in following a few posters and leaked images and accepting it as gospel. And that the kit is entirely different, and indeed will be the best kit launch in history. Then again, it might be that one we've seen already (which is kind of not as bad as it was on first sight for me). The media team saying 'are you sure' in the promo also makes me think there may yet be a surprise in store. Here's hoping that we have all been played.

M271 Posted 15 June, 2018 Share Posted 15 June, 2018 IF it proves to be that this design is not the actual one for this season maybe it was a prototype / mock up used as an option with other designs? Seems a lot of trouble to go to otherwise. Does anyone know if 2, 3 or more design options are actually made up in material to show the club 'in the flesh' to decide which design they choose?

TotalSaintsPod Posted 15 June, 2018 Share Posted 15 June, 2018 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....)
