egg Posted 20 May, 2019 Share Posted 20 May, 2019 What's that got to do with producing a horrible shirt? Some people will have no taste or no interest, fine. But that home shirt is disgusting. Get rid of the black bit and have the stripes carry on and it's fine. The point is it should be very easy to get right. Some kids will be boring, some better than others, but it should't be difficult to avoid vile. You can vary the number and width of stripes, the sleeves, collar, shades of red, patterns within that. There's a hell of a lot more variation possibility than Man Utd, City or Chelsea have. It is frustrating each year there are fan mock ups far better than the released kits. Under Armour have been almost impressively bad for plain weird, ugly design. And it does matter when the team you support looks like **** most the season. Why does it? Does a **** shirt really change how you feel about the team you support? Really? it's a kit, ie the uniform that the players where when they play for the club. I get the feeling that I am in a minority of not giving a monkeys what that kit looks like - I'm only concerned about what players are wearing the kit and how they play.

Have to agree you can do a hell of a lot more variation with a striped kit than a plain kit. As for better designs, again you are right some of the fans mock ups are so much better - the concept kit a few pots above being on example. Its a shame we have another 3 (?) seasons of Under Armour all 3 of thier home kits for us so far have been poor in my opionion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelman Posted 24 May, 2019 Share Posted 24 May, 2019 It's a dreadful kit. Its strange, but on threads like this, people make mock ups which are so much better than the official one. This is one of the nastiest kits we have ever had, and I do not know who signed it off and why they thought it a good idea. Pride before a fall, and we should scrap it and go for the one in this post: https://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?60871-For-the-hell-of-it-the-2019-20-Kit-Thread&p=2735347#post2735347 But sadly, there will still be those who shell out on something that is really so very very very nasty. I'm sure the Club read these boards, so in future, might I suggest that you actually ask some of the supporters what they think of the shirt, because they would have told you that this one was utter utter garbage.

edprice1984 Posted 24 May, 2019 Share Posted 24 May, 2019 I don't mind the shirt - I am probably not going to buy the home one; the third kit is the most likely at the moment. I still believe we should have abandoned stripes and kept the sash - unique in English football, save the Palace away shirt - and would be very difficult to mess up.

angelman Posted 24 May, 2019 Share Posted 24 May, 2019 I'm sure it's not the case, but seeing as the away shirt looks OK, I wonder if they designed that one first, and then said how can we do the home shirt with the top bit. Is anyone any good with changing pictures, as would be interested to see what the home shirt looked like if the black top was changed to red (or white).

Saint Garrett Posted 24 May, 2019 Share Posted 24 May, 2019 Yup - looks way better, but unfortunately still has those odd black shoulders. It's a shame.

Useful Idiot Posted 30 May, 2019 Share Posted 30 May, 2019 I think the bra-raised shirt was marginally uglier, not a lot to choose between them though. The last design I really liked was the anniversary sash, every kit after that has been a bit crap in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 16 June, 2019 Author Share Posted 16 June, 2019 Nice to see this thread managed without me (and that the first pic I posted turned out to be the actual design albeit with black shoulders). Quite impressed at the 320 responses with nary a mock up... FWIW I like all 3 kits, the shoulder panel is clearly a design feature to stop stripes from two directions colliding, and stop them needing to match the stripes up across different panels of the shirt. The sponsor logo is a bit toss but whatever. Also confused how a photo I took (at West Ham away) of a bloke in a wig and terrible t-shirt made it onto here, seems friends of Facebook friends have been busy. Oh and it was £55 last season too, minus 10% for being an ST holder and with a free £5 gift voucher for buying the other kits. So using those, £44.50, though as Sports Direct are able to sell any UA gear they'll probably undercut the club shop again. That's what I'm waiting for anyway.

The9 Posted 16 June, 2019 Author Share Posted 16 June, 2019 Bet for the first couple of weeks they will be flogging THE shirt the players will be wearing for 100 notes again. It was £90 (minus 10% minus £5 gift voucher) last sesson, and nevertheless so similar to the replicas it wasn't worth the "investment". I can get an actual labelled up matchworn for that.
