You can now buy official Hummel retro shirts on the saints store. https://www.southamptonfc.com/store/hummel/c-1/c-426 

Interesting that the yellow shirt has been made available as a retro as my recollection is that we only wore it once (away v Arsenal), and it wasn't made available for sale at the time.

42 hummel items now listed, the old red round neck draper tools sweatshirt coming soon too.  Timewarp!

Loving these retro jackets, they’ve made a pretty strong start to the partnership so far I’d say, look forward to seeing the new kits.

[skintsaint]

Yeah the trackie tops look decent value compared to the shirts.

Think you have the wrong yellow ... the one they sell is this one:

That shirt was first worn away to Derby in 1989. Also used away to Arsenal twice and Spurs. I think it might just have been the four uses. It was never available as a replica

Best thing they could do is put them all through the wash and sell them sponsorless, they'd shift them easily then.

I picked up a red sash on white when they first got reduced, but no matter how many times it goes through the wash the LD Sports logo won’t shift 😪

Just wash it for an hour on 30 degrees and it should peel right off, mine did. Doesn't fall off by itself it requires some encouragement.

This looks like a faithful remake apart from the font on the sponsor. Hopefully it looks different in real life.

I got a shock seeing Donald Trump Jr. as one of the models, but it's OK, I'm a Trump supporter 😊

Well my "Denmark" shirt arrived yesterday and I'm really happy with the quality and it takes me back to some happy times of being a saints fan. Hopefully it will become a new lucky shirt starting this weekend......

Mind me asking how the sponsor logos / club crest etc. are? Well attached or likely to start coming off after a couple of washes?

Large fitting/small fitting?

They look fairly robust but obviously time will tell. I tend to wash my shirts by hand and allow them to drip dry which helps keep them in a decent condition.

I got an XL and it fits pretty well, not too tight or baggy etc. It's quite long too which is nice as I'm not a fan of revealing my belly to the world when I stretch upwards!

I wore this everywhere back in the day. Awesome. 

[Sheaf Saint]

Got my mug today, courtesy of my wife by way of an early birthday present.

I'm very pleased to discover it's a decent sized, good quality sturdy mug, and not the bog standard cheapy generic type with a dodgy print on it I was expecting.

[Pedantic Pete]

Well they either didn't make many or they sold fast..Only small or 2XL left for the 87-89 home shirt....

Well, several weeks (And several washes) later my '87 home shirt is still absolutely and the sponsor etc show no signs of falling off. My only gripe is that it was proving to be anything but a lucky shirt until the Leicester game, hopefully that will signify a change of fortunes.....

Saints store down for maintenance? 🧐

I thought they wore it at Luton and possibly QPR too, but I could be mistaken.

There's only a couple of the original shirts still in existence. The majority were donated to a Sunday league team when Saints had finished with them. They stuck their own club badge and sponsorship over the Saints and Draper badges.

yes it was worn at Luton. Had forgotten that as at the time away fans weren't allowed at Kenilworth Road. And it was also worn at Sheffield Wednesday

Looks a bit ropey/not real.

I'm still hoping for a black pinstripes on the red stripes. You know, like the old days. I wish it was the old days.

Agree - there's a lot right about it. If the real thing is in that ballpark then I'd be happy with it.

[Mozz]

The collar and sleeves are straight from the current Under Armour template (as featured on all three of our current shirts), so unless there's some bizarre situation where UA already did the kit and Hummel are just going to stick some logos on it it's a fake.

Also  Hummel's arrows/chevrons/whatever they call them are on top of the shoulder  not forward facing, so from that view seen in the photo exactly half should be visible. And they only put them on shoulder nowadays, not down the sleeve as well.

[edprice1984]

Look closely at the picture on twitter and its clearly been photoshopped. However if it is similar to this I would be happy. Looks like the 1989 kit.

[pimpin4rizeal]

Anyone that purchased the retro shirts  are they the same/similar material to the real shirts??

last time I purchased a retro rank xerox type shirt the shirt was more T-shirt material then the shiny polyester of the 80s so just wanted to check ??

[doggface]

Yes they are nylon replicas of originals, not cotton.

Material is nice but the cut is quite square.  I had the "denmark" one, sent it back as I didn't like the cut or the oversized v neck collar which was much thicker than the original.

Then again I am very fussy

So did anyone on this thread really miss not following their dream in the rag trade?

So all teams in red & white stripes go down but wait.... Brentford have been promoted so there you go a red & white candidate for the Big Drop.

Phew! Saints saved again!
