Saint86 Posted 20 June, 2023 Posted 20 June, 2023 (edited) Nice link that. I think this is my favourite shirt of the modern prem era, and i think also potentially my favourite of the ones post takeover (but close run against the championship/league 1 kits): (as an aside - remarkably similar to my second favourite modern prem era kit - which was also a cracker). These next two will always be classic shirts for me, the sash was a super kit in itself (shirt a bit boring by taken alone), and i really liked the additional white of the championship striped kit: Call me a puritan, but its very tough to beat a good striped shirt for saints.... notably all of those striped kits had 5 red stripes.

Miltonaggro Posted 21 June, 2023 Posted 21 June, 2023 Sounds odd but the red seems redder on the new shirt than it did on the original version, hope so in the flesh. Like it and so does my boy who will be getting one. Bet the away shirt is a howler!

I bought the new one for my boy on Monday and I still have the original so was able to compare. Also, on the original the front and back of the sleeves flipped pattern, as did the front and back of the shirt. Hard to explain in words, but on the old one the right hand side of your body was red and white on the front, red on the back. Now it's red and white front and back. 2

Maybe they stuck some false info out there, but, given it's based on parts of the badge, I'm almost certain the away shirt is white with sky blue trim, (guessing the water) and the third kit is black with yellow (trees) 2
Stripey McStripe Shirt Posted 21 June, 2023 Posted 21 June, 2023 Well I for one think it's a fairly lovely kit (except the sponsor).

St Louis Posted 23 June, 2023 Posted 23 June, 2023 Ive also just noticed that Sportsbet.IO logo has been removed from the footer of the main website. It definitely was there. I know it wont be Draper Tools, but does that point at a potential change of main sponsor too?

Fabrice Fernandes no.1 fan Posted 23 June, 2023 Posted 23 June, 2023 It is all part of the fun, I like the shirt and will buy it later in the season when it is discounted, so who knows what sponsors will be on it by then!
