This was my first ever bit of inside info. As this bit was correct our other two kits will be,

One based on a design with Waves. Designed by a Japanese artist.

One will have some sort of reference to the Spitfire.

Home kit is okay, makes JWP look skinny which gives hope to some of us fatties :)

Saw PSG kit this morning which I think looks lush, if only we did a similar design for this shirt to jazz it up a touch more.

Better option than the Titanic (I know, Belfast etc)

As someone that doesn't like stripes, whether they're our "tradition" or not, that gets a definite like from me.

Have to laugh at the marketing bo||ox though, it's a nice shirt, but no, it dosn't inspire me to be brave. I mean wtf is all that nonsense about?

White backs?? Oh dear , why is it so hard to put the one stripe on the back???  Black number on that? Mmmm when we are attacking we will look like Fulham from behind!

My only criticism would be the big white circle at the start of the sponsors logo. Why that could have been empty to allow the red stripe to be unbroken I don’t understand.

I'm glad you managed to keep it quiet that you knew what the new kit looked like by asking leading questions rather than telling us outright what it looked like. I think you got away with it...  ;) 

Same time, same place next year....? :)

Come on you Whites! 

I've always thought Saints fans should sing Come on you Saints and not reds!

At least we could sing the same song home and away.

Yep, this. Ruins an otherwise decent design*

(*yes, I know it's "just a kit" and none of this matters in the general scheme of things.... #firstworldproblems)

I like the kit but when did kits become £55 rather than £50?

Also 29th July is a long time to wait until you receive your kit 

 

About 2-3 years ago I think. I heard Newcastle are charging 75!

If I feel inclined to buy one I tend to wait until January when they’re normally about 1/3 off.

What concerns me more is seeing McCarthy I’m the goalkeepers kit, which in my mind says he is No1…

Or that they had the photo-shoot booked in before Bazunu was signed...?

Generally quite like that.  Not sure about those geometric lines on the white parts of the kit but they don't stand out too much so not a big deal.  

Looks a bit spiderman,

Dont love it, dont hate it. I dont mind that we mix it up and deviate from stripes every now and then.
Personally, I wish it had a v-neck and that would vastly improve it, always my preference as I think round necks look like training tops.

Is it my poor eyesight or are the shorts dark blue rather than black....?

Think it's just lighting, as there's light blue behind. Probably an eye trick!

If the sponsor logo had a more transparent background, as per example below, then I'd be sold I think

It would seem they can do a transparent sponsor logo when it comes to the junior kits.... that said, the off-centre tag line is playing havoc with my OCD....

That's a shame, I think the 'dark blue' looks better than black :)

I bet you'll be able to buy it on DHgate and have it delivered before then and all for £15.  The club are encouraging this by making us wait so long

And the keeper shirt has a transparent background version of the sponsor logo.... why can't they put that on the outfield shirt....? Would look a bit less tacky....

I've said this before. Mentioned it on twitter but didnt get much traction. Some kid replying 'just no'. Makes so much sense to change it to 'Come on your Saints'. Guess we might just need to get a group in the northam to start it and it'll gain traction from there

Suprised they didn't announce the new signings that are in the photo-shoot at the same time....

Phoebe Williams, James Ward-Prowse, Mohammed Salisu and two Southampton fans pose in the new home kit in front of a red background.

Is the guy in the glasses our new striker? Guess the club have listened to this board and signed some experience.

First impression... I don't like the overall kit - it doesn't particulary feel like a saints kit and the central striped shirt and black shorts with side details just seem imbalanced. I thnk its too white or the central stripe is too narrow or something. Also dislike looking like Fulham from the back.

Two things that really annoy me.

 

1. A replica kit means a lot to a child and children can't wear a shirt with the same sponsor due to our choice of sponsor.  I know it's only the sponsor and the rest is the same but kids want to wear exactly the same outfit as their heros.

2. The optimal time for wearing a shirt apart from to games is in the summer.  Given the shirts only last a year, the shirt is old hat by the time the season ends.  People want to wear the shirt in the summer months preceding the season and they can only do so from the beginning of August.  Surely, release it in May after the season has ended.

I know it's only a shirt but it means a lot to a lot of people otherwise it wouldnt sell for that price.

Exactly.  I've never got why we can't insist our kits are launched in May as they used to be.  It makes perfect sense to play the last home game of the season in the new kit to act as an advert for anyone who wants one for holiday.
