Hatch Posted 13 May, 2020 Share Posted 13 May, 2020 Whats the deal here then? If there is a delay to next season, might be a chance of the club having them available in time. And any gossip from taxi drivers/barbers/gardeners etc with inside knowledge on what it is like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Posted 13 May, 2020 Share Posted 13 May, 2020 It's a complete unknown, and understandably. The only thing I've read, possibly on here, was someone speculating it might incorporate the sash as its the 135th year. Personally I can't see that as 135 years isn't such a landmark to commemorate, and I wouldn't expect the sash kit to be used again until 2035, which will be 150th anniversary. Hope I'm still breathing and around to see it. So, not in the know, but suspect: Red and white, possibly in unequal parts Probably a complete car crash of a shirt, and shoddily manufactured Sponsors* - probably continue to be Chinese graphics advertising some dodgy outfit which may or may not exist. I won't be buying it if it satisfies any of the above. *Unless I win the Euromillions and can sponsor the shirt with 'F^ck off Virus' on the front of it.

Saint Garrett Posted 13 May, 2020 Share Posted 13 May, 2020 Something like this would be nice...obviously red and white, probably black mini stripes? Don't know if UA do a similar template.

eurosaint Posted 14 May, 2020 Share Posted 14 May, 2020 They'll still have so many of this years kit in stock that they might as well let it run for another season ! Yes, it's totally crap, probably not have a new sponsor but if grounds are closed until the end of the year or beyond, nobody will want one anyway ! Pointless exercise !!

Too late, kit would have gone into production some time ago and probably already here in storage. And a chance to raise a bit of revenue in lean times.

Lighthouse Posted 14 May, 2020 Share Posted 14 May, 2020 I'm guessing it's none of these The black one looks like some sort of bar chart of Covid 19 infections. Having said that, I do actually quite like those. Whatever we get I just hope the sponsor’s logo doesn’t look like somebody glue a Yorkie wrapper to the from with Pritt-stick.

I like it but it's far to straight forward and good for a Saints shirt. You need to add a large pink square on one of the shoulders for no reason, some sort of pointless collar and buttons combination and a cheap plastic sponsor's logo, off centre for some reason, which starts to tear and peel after two washes.

Mowgli Posted 17 May, 2020 Share Posted 17 May, 2020 Club and UA will undoubtedly be bereft of ideas so the post FA Cup win late seventies Admiral Candy Stripe must be due a resurrection - you heard it here first! Given the recent poll that ended up with this allegedly being the fans favourite shirt I would say this is probably the design. But the ‘bra’ look is as fundamental to UA design as three stripes is to Adidas so that will be part of it. Unlike others, I’ve never had any problem with UA quality. Apart from the stick on sponsor logo - the quality is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSAINT Posted 19 May, 2020 Share Posted 19 May, 2020 I would absolutely love to know who chooses our kit designs at the club and how they have that job. Its so easy yet we mess it up every season. Every season we see some really cool designs on here only for it to end up looking nowhere near as good.

djharvey Posted 19 May, 2020 Share Posted 19 May, 2020 Given the choice, who would you like to see supplying our kit?? For some reason we have struggled to get the best out of our kit designs from under armour, they have done some reasonable striped kits for other teams. Dont know if it's them that give us poor choices/options or the club who just pick the crap choice. The kit manufacturer is not as important as the design itself, there's crap Nike, adidas, Kappa, umbro, NB, macron, puma out there but also loads of great designs. As others have stated on here, it's really not that hard! You just need a small Group of individuals who know what the feck the're doing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
