Didn't help that she thinks it's Tuesday today 🙃

Arsenal would love that kit. What happened to tribute to 1976?

[Matthew Le God]

Cue the 'plastic fans' jokes...

It never existed and was a fan made mock up.

Too much blue on the shirt for my liking!

I saw her interviewing Dean Hammond and Matt Le Blanc on the beach.....

 

[sydenhamssocks]

Pretty much the same as Under Armour 18/19 one. At least it’s yellow ! 

[M271]

I really like the look of it, sorry to be positive!!

[Matthew Le God]

If we didn't win the FA Cup whilst playing in yellow and for example were in our home kit in 1976 would some people still have the same fascination with having a yellow away kit every year? 🤔😇

It's nice, but I'd have liked to see it all yellow with blue Hummel arrows on the sleeves, rather than blue shoulders.

Good that the club are thinking of the environment though...!

[CB Fry]

Quite nice for what it is. I like the link to Admiral flame effect.

It's our traditional away kit.

Not really. It is a colour combination we often go back to, but we've had a variety over the years.

I like the kit, but have to say I prefer our third kit

It's just a kit launch. Other than a few Saints fans no one gives a t0ss. Chill.

I do agree with MLG.

If we hadn't won the FA Cup in yellow and blue no one would give a flying fuck about that colour scheme. But we did so it has some meaning but I'm glad we don't always have it.

It's not our "traditional away kit", it's just the one we won the FA Cup in.

Not a fan of the blue arms. The picture from the hooky site also made the yellow colour look better as it was a bit washed out, the actual one is a good deal brighter.

Not an overwhelming fan of any of the three to be honest. They’re ok and perfectly fine, but I’ve preferred others in our recent past. Hummel seem like a decent pair of hands though, hopefully they’ll come up with some decent future variants.

[sammysaint93]

YELLOWS YELLOWS, we have a song for  away days at least.

[RedArmy]

Reminds me of the kit we had when we got relegated, hopefully not a bad omen. 

[for_heaven's_Saint]

It’s all very well making shirts out of plastic bottles but we are sponsored by a company that deals in and advertises Bitcoin, the mining of which generates huge amounts of carbon emissions, so we can’t really argue we are environmentally friendly.

Exactly what I thought when I saw it...! Home shirt isn't much different either!

 

Pretty much exatly the same as a few seasons ago too.

Also some of the players drive cars.

Don't worry, the relegation was solely because if that horrible sky blue shirt.

The only away game we won all season was in that shirt.

You ok there? If you don’t understand the time point there’s not need to get worked up about it. 
 

There’s lots of things that individuals do that isn’t great for the environment but Saints (as a club/business) are advertising shirts as eco friendly with a very eco unfriendly sponsor on them. That’s all.

I have been watching Saints since around 1957. Most of that time I think the away kit has been yellow. I certainly remember during our Cup exploits in the early 60's we wore it.

So what. We haven't worn yellow for entire decades (the eighties) and it's on and off since then, maybe every four seasons or often the yellow was a third kit. 

It resonates because of the cup win which already is something you need to be 50 years old to really even remember. I wasn't born and I am annoyingly absolutely not young.

Look, I quite like singing "yellows yellows" at away games so I'm fine with it but also don't quite get the desire for it to be yellow every bloody season.

Blimey! Sorry I spoke!! I was just responding to your remark that it's not our"traditional away kit". For most of my time supporting Saints it has been. Personally, I don't give flying f*** what colour we play away in.

I agree with MLG too, we normally cycle between yellow, white and blue/black, with the odd green or brown outlier.

I was trying to trigger MLG, normally the word traditional in a kit thread sends him/her fruity.

[Fabrice Fernandes no.1 fan]

Although odd to see the away kit at St Mary’s, it does look really good, can’t really fault the 3 kits as a combination this year

[rooney]

Yellow kit ok but will not buy a shirt. I will have to try to find my old Friends Provident yellow shirt from the Beattie/Oakley days.

Just ordered mine off your recommendation. I ordered an xl. I am rather rotund. How was the sizing for you.

Havent bought a shirt since the 2010 season cos of the prices but thought I’d  give this a go.

I ordered L and got a L. Sizes seem right.  Just ordered the full 3rd kit for myself for £16 😊

[bangkoksaint]

I bought my lad the green training quarter zip training top. It’s started to bobble and a number of threads are loose, the quality isn’t good at all and I’ll be contacting the club as it’s very disappointing. Say what you like about UA but the quality is much better.

Surely its become a tradition for this reason? We regularly go back to this colour scheme and now many non-Saints fans I know associate yellow and blue as our away colours.

[John Boy Saint]

For many years when strips were not an emotive issue our away strip was Old Gold shirts and black shorts or knickers as shorts were referred to in those day…….. (like wolves home).

But then up until 1950 we had Blue home shorts with our Red and White shirt.

Splitting hairs perhaps but it It was amber rather than old gold. 

I posted about this before and someone (I think it was probably Fitzhugh) pointed out that before the amber we had also worn white as a change strip, and on one occasion in an FA Cup tie a burgundy coloured change shirt. 

Personally I liked the amber and black idea as it had some local connection suggested as the colours of the Hampshire Regiment. 

[The Curse of St Mary's]

Just a heads up really. The sizes are not true to fit as like previous kits. Bought my son a 7-8 (he's only just turned 7 and average build) and its way too small. They don't do 8-9 so I'll be exchanging for a 9-10 in the hope he will grow into it quite quickly.

My sons 9 (and not a particularly big 9 yeat old) and we got him a 11-12.

Got a 9-10 for him and there is very little growth allowance. Crazy he's only just turned 7 and he's under average in size if anything! I dont think a 11-12 would be that big on him. That is Youth XL in saints shop sizing lol

Don't think so. Curaçao is on the arm which is a Dutch island, but I don't think that's got any Marley links. I don't get excited by football blouses, but that's a nice one. The trainers are decent too.

Seems a little bit random then. Like they've just chosen an icon to make money. Kind of like saints releasing the Muhammed Ali or Freddy Mercury third kit.
