Chez Posted 14 May, 2019 Share Posted 14 May, 2019 Always been curious as to how/who actually has the say on what the kits will look like. Do UA give several options? Does someone from the club sit down with UA designers to go through template/options? Does anyone at the club ever say "no way, that's ****, go away and try harder" ? UA trawl the entire world looking for 8 year olds with the least amount of taste and design skills, kidnap them and then have them create 2500 designs in a dark room before allowing them out. Next, a hand picked team of Pompey fans select the three worst designs and have the outlines printed in black and white before handing a colour blind chimp a big bag of crayons to determine the colour scheme for each shirt. Finally a man drops 20,000 of them off at St Marys in the dark of night with a short note attached to the box reminding the Saints commercial director and marketing manager of the photo of them two docking. Quite frankly I don't see any other way they could have come up with the absolute heap of garbage they have so far. I could have all taste, talent and design skills surgically removed and still come up with better than these clowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrfahaji Posted 14 May, 2019 Share Posted 14 May, 2019 I'm usually a fan of the black trim with our red & white but it doesn't work on that kit - probably because the sleeves aren't black trim, they're just black! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted 14 May, 2019 Share Posted 14 May, 2019 also the template for the new uniform of TGI Fridays. I would actually crack up If it was this, worst shirt ever and still some dinlows will shell out 60 quid on it. that's where I have seen that design. Good spot Turkish. Saints fans will just need create a small collection of tat to pin to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of 1980's Woolworth's music cassette storage cases. Terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, you have mentioned this before - I don't really mind it, maybe because I like the 80s! I generally prefer the contrast with the light shirts/dark shorts and vice versa. Hence I like the Milan & Inter shirts with white shorts but prefer Saints/Sunderland kit to, say, Stoke. But even if I like the black, it still looks awful on that shirt.

Lighthouse Posted 15 May, 2019 Share Posted 15 May, 2019 They have a sport polo shirts were specifically designed for, its called polo. Why would you put a collar and buttons on a football shirt; is it so you can go straight to a nightclub after the game without getting charged? It looks like something the ride attendants would wear at Disney World. I can’t think of one redeeming feature, it’s the Elyounoussi of football kits.

That'll be the first home shirt I've not purchased since 1980! I had assumed this was a Saint Lard mock up, but that's not the case. Where does this originate from ? The collar is absurd (not in keeping with the AZ Alkmaar kit others refer to as a template) and look to be a 70's throwback; the sleeves are presuambly borrowed from some Bournemouth offcuts. The logo and the Chinese graphics take it to an even further grade of crap though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djharvey Posted 15 May, 2019 Share Posted 15 May, 2019 If that is the design then it must be the same template as the new Fluminense kit. i was/am still hoping it's based on the AZ Alkmaar kit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelman Posted 16 May, 2019 Share Posted 16 May, 2019 I think it’s great...10 times better than the bra kit (now that was a joke kit). Agree. The bra one was all wrong, and could have been so much better if the top white bit was in red. But this one with the black shoulders, I don't think it too bad. Not so sure about the black collar, but it isn't too bad. Better than the 201/13 and 2013/14 ones (to refresh one's memory you can see here: http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Southampton/Southampton.htm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that all the fans (on here at least) just want to moan. We have, IMHO, appointed one of the most exciting managers, after 3 years of dross. We should be looking forward with some anticipation again....but what do we do? We moan...we moan about the owner, we moan about the sponsorship deal, we moan about the transfer budget for next season, even though most of us have absolutely no REAL idea of what is going on, and we moan about a shirt design (a shirt design!!!) that may or may not be genuine. I don't consider myself a "Happy Clapper" but the amount of negativity on this forum is depressing. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
