They said 'its white with a red stripe' - that's their description. They arent into footie, so didnt pay as much attention as I would have! No idea if its a reverse of the home (sash) or a red hoop, or red stripe down middle, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you mention, it would be strange and limiting if they just reversed it. Of course we've had an away shirt with the sash in recent years in green and navy, easy enough to come up with a contrasting combination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Bates Statue Posted 19 June, 2020 Share Posted 19 June, 2020 That actually looks rather good if the final kit looks like that. I've looked at Palace's sash kits with envy and they manage to pull it off successfully even with a sponsor on the front. Nice to see that we can do it too. Didn't think UA were capable of it.

St Louis Posted 19 June, 2020 Share Posted 19 June, 2020 52 minutes ago, darren2 said: Near on perfect, a couple of tiny differences... - White sash goes from the top of shoulder down to bottom corner of shirt - The top of the shield around the badge is straight (like this one, but a bit larger: https://classic-shirts.com/product-eng-57643-2003-05-SOUTHAMPTON-SHIRT-S.html) - White piping around 95% of inside collar (with an inch gap of just black at centre/bottom of V) - White detail on the black arm cuffs (a bit like this: https://www.footballkitnews.com/22754/new-az-alkmaar-jersey-2019-2020-under-armour-az-home-kit-19-20/) - Virgin Media logo (in white) on (crest side) sleeve. Personally I don't like it at all, its just not Saints. The red is also slightly darker than your mock (think Man Utd). Your mock actually makes it look nicer than the real thing.

The Kraken Posted 19 June, 2020 Share Posted 19 June, 2020 If it’s anything like the one above I’m a big fan. I do like stripes but it’s nice to mix it up a bit, especially when it’s done well (original sash, rank xerox style, Hummel halves). not sure the badge crest is needed though, but will reserve judgement.

Saint Matty 76 Posted 19 June, 2020 Share Posted 19 June, 2020 Is the LD sponsor going to be in that colour? If it's the same as this year, it'll completely kill that kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCBSaint Posted 19 June, 2020 Share Posted 19 June, 2020 Since when did Saints play in a red kit with white sash? It’s a nice shirt but definitely not a Saints kit!!! Yes we have had the anniversary kit as a nod to our first kit but we really need to keep our identity a bit more, STRIPES!!! I know we have mucked around with the stripes a few times and the early 80’s Keegan kit I loved and grew up on but we really need to keep stripes. How difficult can this be? Every season we speculate and end up with an abomination!!A take on the 1976-1980 shirt would be my personal preference, more white than red, it really should be simple!! Talking of which and I know this would be controversial what about an updated badge, again something simple, a football with the halo above it, 1885 in the football and SOUTHAMPTON FC in red and white lettering under it, maybe in the scarf style? Am sure that would look clean, crisp, simple and obvious to anyone it’s SAINTS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something you'd expect to see Middlesbrough or Swindon attempt. Personal choice is the Keegan era kit, a reverse Ajax kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevy777_x Posted 20 June, 2020 Share Posted 20 June, 2020 There are so many teams with stripes in England but none with Sash kits.

trousers Posted 20 June, 2020 Share Posted 20 June, 2020 Anything without the 'band' (aka 'bra') across the top is fine by me. A sash kit is pretty distinctive and uncluttered, so it's a thumbs up from me 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf Palace and Man City have done sash kits very recently, albeit as their away kits. I loved our white sash kit, especially so as there was no sponsor. I like the idea of this version too, I wonder what shorts and socks they’l pair with it (tradition would say black shorts white socks but not sure how that would look).

Supersubpuckett Posted 21 June, 2020 Share Posted 21 June, 2020 really like that - the stripes nazi's will hate it 'cos it's just not saints' but the stuff we've had in recent years has been dreadful. I think the last decent stripes kit was our promotion season from championship. This would also be a nod to our past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
