Saint86 Posted 20 June, 2023 Share 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.

I just don’t know why didn’t keep the chevrons down the sleeves .. it’s missing a open goal to only put them on the shoulders .. the new Denmark shirt they absolutely nailed it .. it’s still pretty nice kit but a tad disapointing as it was so easy to be perfect 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miltonaggro Posted 21 June, 2023 Share 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.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All a matter of opinion, which will vary. I think the yellow/blue combination (depending on shade etc) could work well. I don’t mind the design but don’t think the red and white (pink) works.

Fabrice Fernandes no.1 fan Posted 23 June, 2023 Share 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! I have the sash third kit from a few years ago and the sponsor has peeled off, so sometimes it doesn't even matter who they try and plaster the shirt with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
