saint lard Posted 8 July, 2020 Share Posted 8 July, 2020 In the very beginning when we wore sashes,players put the sashes over the top of their shirts as they were seperate. it’s noticeable in pictures of the time,in team photos players had them over the left shoulder And some had them over the right shoulder. I wonder if that is the reason the sashes run differently on the two shirts revealed today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsaint1 Posted 8 July, 2020 Share Posted 8 July, 2020 Kits look ok. Not a fan of the shield around the badge, reminds of bit of 2006 flybe kit. Much prefer the third to the home. Lets see what the away brings. Honestly more interested in the training gear which i hope is better than the last few years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpine_saint Posted 9 July, 2020 Share Posted 9 July, 2020 12 hours ago, cambsaint said: Home kit is vile. Just hope nobody buys it. What is the matter with tradition, Saints are red and white stripes and black shorts. Always have been and always should be. White with red sash is a perfectly acceptable shirt -you can muck about with them. and gold is very good, reminiscent of the old gold and black of circa 67. Please don't buy the home kit, only way to teach them a lesson. We played in halves and quarter and, yes, sashes before the stripes. I am not so attached to red-and-white stripes; too many other clubs have it too. These kits are growing on me, hope the away is a dark blue/light blue or dark blue/yellow combination with sash too.

mrfahaji Posted 9 July, 2020 Share Posted 9 July, 2020 First reaction is that I would have preferred stripes and in general I like stripes. However my favourite kit is the one from - unfortunately - the Pellegrino season, and I also own the sash kit from 2010/11. Add to that the fact that UA seem intent on doing something weird with their striped shirts and refuse to let go of the should/chest block template, I'm prepared to withhold any ire for this one. At least it has a decent amount of red and white on it, unlike our effort from 2013/14. I wish they could have found a way for the sponsor to be a little neater and inkeeping with the sash though. And considering we only used the same design 10 years ago I don't think it's massively innovative. But UA regularly disappoint on that front. Funnily enough on the promotional picture of the home shirt, the background (red & white separated with a thick black line) strikes me as a potential 'different' design we could have - red & white halves similar to Feyenoord. It would look smart, still be red and white, closer to "stripes" than a lot of other designs and not many teams play in red & white halves.

JRM Posted 9 July, 2020 Share Posted 9 July, 2020 It's important for our sponsor to be clearly displayed so they can raise their profile from a non existent business with a mysteriously large marketing budget to an internationally recognised brand specialising in.... whatever it is they pretend to do.

It means nothing without an NHS badge there too. Got to get a poppy on there too if you're a completist. Not sure why people are upset about a Chinese logo, if anything I would prefer a logo I can't read or decipher. We can get nostalgic about the eras of our previous sponsors but how much do you really want to pay for the sake of plastering 'Virgin' or 'Tools' on the front of your shirt? Will be interesting to see the away shirt. If we can't agree over the red and white sashes, it could get interesting on here when it turns out to be blue. 🍿 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kraken Posted 9 July, 2020 Share Posted 9 July, 2020 Staying with stripes year on year gets dull. Have a look at a lot of English sides that have played in stripes down the years and while they all mix it up a lot with the stripes, plenty also go for non-striped options from time to time as well. I personally like it when Saints mix it up, so long as its done well and there's some sort of nod to the past. The Cortese abominations were awful, mind, because they failed to do that. But the Rank Xerox inverse Ajax, the Hummel Denmark half and half, the 125 years sash, the recent Rank Xerox copy, and now this sash. Yep, I'm a fan, especially as they get paired with a traditional shorts and socks combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s like those in charge want to get rid of our tradition. Could you imagine Newcastle playing in anything other than black and white stripes or Liverpool wearing other than all red nowadays.

If we had to go for something a bit different then I'd like to see us adopt a half and half shirt, like Feyenoord. Not many clubs have this design. Off the top of my head, I can only think of Blackburn. Oh, and Watford, this season. A few clubs have done this design as an away shirt, but I think it would be a cool alternative to the stripes that make us look like Stoke, Sunderland and Brentford. Maybe something like this.
