Pilchards Posted 27 May, 2021 Share Posted 27 May, 2021 I’m predicting the plain yellow kit will be the 76 yellow with blue chevrons down the sleeve. Hoping a solid blue colour as the collar but I expect it will be the same as the home kit. As for the black kit, would be amazing if it was the one that was leaked last season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably comes of more white and pink so can still use against teams playing in red or just use for away games when feeling like it.. tbh I wouldn’t mind this as the home shirt either.. it’s still red and white would appeal to fans of the Denmark style and differant from last time win win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stripes have been Saints home kit for over 100 years now ffs I started supporting Saints in the late 70s/early 80s. I wouldn't call the 'candy bar' Channon era kit traditional stripes and from 1980 on we had the Xerox kit, the all red centenary shirt and then the Denmark shirt. So it was 1989, about 12 years after I started to support the club that it had the first striped kit I had seen so I must confess striped kits had little to do with me choosing to support Southampton....

I mean, what do you expect them to do? We are a club who play in stripes, we have a kit with stripes. Newcastle are a club who play in stripes, they have a kit with stripes. I don't quite understand what people are expecting. You've actually managed to contradict yourself with your own argument. What you say is 100% true. For Newcastle. They play in uniform sized stripes every single season so there can be no innovation. We play in red and white every season but not necessarily in stripes so there can, and has, been innovation. Since I have started supporting the club we have had lots of home kits that haven't been uniform stripes: late 70s 'candy bar' kit Xerox kit All red centenary kit Denmark kit White shirt with red sash Red shirt, white sleeves Cortese kit All Red Cortese kit Xerox re-boot Red shirt with white sash As well as shirts with different width stripes (early 2000s) I've no idea why you think we are a club that always plays in stripes and so can have no innovation.

I'm probably in the minority but I'd love to see a kit that resembles the classic PONY kit of the early 90's. Hummel could do something along similar lines, but replace the PONY "tick" that was across the chest with the Hummel "chevron". I liked the sky blue away one but I'm a weirdo for kits.

St David 46 Posted 29 May, 2021 Share Posted 29 May, 2021 To me, it should always be stripes. But saying that I think it should be all stripes, front, back and sleeves.

JCBSaint Posted 29 May, 2021 Share Posted 29 May, 2021 Hope the away is as predicted, yellow, a nice simple yellow with the blue chevrons, nothing too fussy, that would sell like hot cakes! No need for a third kit. We all know why all teams HAVE to have a third ... marketing but I think two nice kits will sell better than 3! Fingers crossed it’s good.

I've followed Saints for 30 years and have never considered the kits good value, perhaps apart from the early years when they were about £25, mum and dad paid, and they remained 'current' for 2 years. I guess you have to look past the transaction as more of a donation than a purchase. The problem with that is that your expectation as a fan increases as you're expecting something in return (better signings / results etc.). It's great when everything goes well, but when it doesn't then you feel short-changed, a point which is made worse by the fact that your inclination to wear the shirt reduces as well!

My point you imbecile is that a replica kit is supposed to be just that, the same. If we're not capable to make it the same because of gambling legislation then making our kids shirts look more like another clubs than our own is ridiculous.
