benjii Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 I'm surprised they haven't launched it by having a player pose with it over a grey hoody, beer belly and whilst wearing "distressed" g-star jeans and lonsdale trainers so our supporters can see what it would look like when they wear it. Maybe put some chavs in Stone Island jackets in the background to complete the picture?
Convict Colony Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 Its ok - not bad, not good so a middle of the road score. Like the black and yellow one though. Every year this thread becomes a fascinating insight on how people deal with change.
angelman Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 (edited) All kits looks ok apart from black bit on the home shirt. The yellow one works best, but have to agree with your thoughts on the black bit on the home shirt. Simple fact is that we have always been red and white (with a small bit maybe of black as borders to the stripes or on the collar) on the home shirt, so why suddenly introduce a major bit of black? To me it looks like one of those GPS training bras. Edited 17 May, 2019 by angelman
Eric The Red Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 Well I liked the launch video as well. Bits genuinely made me laugh and Ralph appears to be a competent actor (for a footballer). Not really bothered about the nuances of kit design but don't like that black stripe, happy with the 2nd and 3rd strips though
Maya's Dad Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 a whole season with this pile of sh1te. terrible home kit
OldNick Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 Theres only so much a designed can do with red and white stripes
DT Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 Theres only so much a designed can do with red and white stripes well he or she could leave them, for a start, not put a meaningless black shoulder bar on it for some reason. idea for next season: save money on promo video and hire a competent designer
angelman Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 Theres only so much a designed can do with red and white stripes Well don't change it then. Stick to what we have, rather than change for changes sake to something that is gash. Break the mould and keep a shirt for more than one season. As it is. we've never had a big slab of black on the home shirt, and it looks like a GPS bra that they use in training.
OldNick Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 It's ok, don't mind it. Video very funny.where can you view he video??
Saint Billy Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 I can see you in that kit next season benjii, can you do your Firestarter dance again for us?.
Saint Garrett Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 where can you view he video?? https://southamptonfc.com/kit?utm_medium=email&utm_source=dotmailer&utm_campaign=2376862_RET%20-%2019%2F20%20Kit%20Reveal%20Final%20-%2017.05.19&mi_u=%24ContactID%24&dm_i=2HKL%2C1EXZY%2C2DYQ8N%2C4OZSW%2C1
miserableoldgit Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 It's growing on me.... slightly... Is JWP pregnant??? As fans we should be told!!
ericb Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 Maybe put some chavs in Stone Island jackets in the background to complete the picture? Or just not dress like a total freak or noddy? It doesn't seem to be that hard for other clubs, but yet for some reason we really struggle with it.
Scully Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 Looks like the sponserhip marketing team have had their way over the art team. Looks like an advertising board to me
CWD Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 It's growing on me.... slightly... Christ if it’s tight enough to make JWP look like he’s got a belly on him, our fans better make sure they’re ordering a couple of sizes up.
shurlock Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 Or just not dress like a total freak or noddy? It doesn't seem to be that hard for other clubs, but yet for some reason we really struggle with it. Really?
maysie Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 You all sound like moaning middle aged fannies. The video etc is no doubt aimed at a younger audience.
mrfahaji Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 What's with the club's obsession with not having stripes that go all the way up to the shoulders and instead having a strip of colour contrast that looks like an afterthought...? This. It looked terrible on the bra kit, looked slightly odd on the 'patrick' kit, passable but unnecessary on last season's, and back to bloody terrible this year! Must be the Under Armour template - just don't understand why they can't make shirts with the same stitching as virtually every other manufacturer, especially for a team that doesn't play in a plain colour!
S-Clarke Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 It kinda reminds me of the home kit we had in the Championship when we came 6th (Wolves 6-1 etc). Maybe not the neck black, but I'm sure we had red and white and black panels somewhere.
Micky Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 Well that's the kit launch done - what are we going to whinge about now for the next 3 months...?
Saint Garrett Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 It kinda reminds me of the home kit we had in the Championship when we came 6th (Wolves 6-1 etc). Maybe not the neck black, but I'm sure we had red and white and black panels somewhere. Yeah - another shocker of a kit that one. Probably my least favourite ever. until todays release!)
alpine_saint Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 The new kits suck. And the sponsor logo makes them suck even more.
WokingSaint Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 Well don't change it then. Stick to what we have, rather than change for changes sake to something that is gash. Break the mould and keep a shirt for more than one season. As it is. we've never had a big slab of black on the home shirt, and it looks like a GPS bra that they use in training. Agree. Awful design, too tight and what's with the away goalkeeper shirt. Pink! Ugh!
oldsarum Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 Well that's the kit launch done - what are we going to whinge about now for the next 3 months...? seems many on here will be content on whinging on endlessly about this kit
shurlock Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 The new kits suck. And the sponsor logo makes them suck even more. Rest assured pal, stripes are still slimming.
igsey Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 Like them all apart from the home kit, do we know if the backs are plain yet?
Chez Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 what is UA's obsession with having a chest plate/bra/bib type thing on our shirts? The block of black looks terrible.
miserableoldgit Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 Well that's the kit launch done - what are we going to whinge about now for the next 3 months...? Don`t worry....they`ll find something...anything.
Professor Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 Beats me why fans allow themselves to be ripped off by thinking they have to wear the shirt of the season. Just don't buy it. It would serve the club right if fans simply stuck with the best example of red & white stripes that each can get hold of and not keep buying over-priced replacements. This silly looking home shirt, with a totally inappropriate black splodge, is almost a badge for victims of a fraud.
Dr. Kucho Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 This has to be the our ugliest I have ever seen, That black bra and the Chinese logo look hideous. We should revert to the white kit with the red sash.
Saint_Tony Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 Black kit is nice but the black on the home shirt is needless and ruins it. How much time to we waste on ****e like that video though? No wonder our recruitment has gone to pot the last few seasons Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk
nta786 Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 i actually really like the white kit, may purchase that one if a deal ever comes on. really not a fan of the home (and like many others, because of the black). black away kit is okay, has a hint of Dortmund about it. ----- but at the end of the day, I'm not too fussed, think we'd all rather have some quality players in the gash kit then vice versa

trousers Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 Good to see realistic mannequins complete with man-boobs...
beatlesaint Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 Well sorry but I dont dislike the home kit. Love the away yellow and gray one.
jamesfp1 Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 I like these actually. I was really worried about that collared monstrosity doing the rounds. The away kit is lovely.
mrfahaji Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 what is UA's obsession with having a chest plate/bra/bib type thing on our shirts? The block of black looks terrible. Don't know, but I can't wait until UA don't do our kits anymore, can't stand the template for their kits. The bits round the side always look like a patchwork as well, don't understand why they can't just make a simple shirt like everyone else. Although not sure ALL their kits are like it, they seem to save the crap template for us!
The Fat Controller Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 I don’t get why grown overweight adults wear replica shirts It’s not as though your going to get a game for the team on a Saturday. The replica shirt market is aimed at younger fans, and us older generation have had our turn. Most younger fans will like the new kits, and most of the rest who are showing that they so say don’t like the home kit, will end up buying it in the end.
Appy Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 They look fine, but who really cares? As long as they sell in China.
Mr Saints Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 The away kit looks pony but I won't lose any sleep over it.
Kenilworthy Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 Will we get away with the home shirt at Newcastle? We can't wear the second or third kits. Or will we need a fourth kit just for St Jame's Park?
Badger Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 From the OS it appears a plain red back. What utter sh!t. I've realised what UA represents, Ultimate Abortions of kits.
maysie Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 I've never understood why they make the scouts film the promotional videos.
shurlock Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 This.

Must be the Under Armour template - just don't understand why they can't make shirts with the same stitching as virtually every other manufacturer, especially for a team that doesn't play in a plain colour! Think the UA designers have a hard-on for those ‘iconic’ 90s Nike Aggassi tennis/polo shirts. Shows up in the away kit too. Problem is football shirts are, by definition, a lot more constraining.
Chez Posted 17 May, 2019 Posted 17 May, 2019 Good to see realistic mannequins complete with man-boobs... jesus, the logo looks like a complete afterthought. Did they not consider a reversed out version on the away kit or has LD Sports not yet got round to producing one of those? What am I talking about. The only ones with less idea about design than UA is `sports marketer' LD Sports.
