edprice1984 Posted 27 March, 2023 Share Posted 27 March, 2023 We (and most clubs at the time) would often wear next seasons kit on the final game of the season in the mid to late 90's. I seem to remember some sort of rule the Premier League introduced that stopped it though. A good example of this would be the final game at the Dell, where we wore the kit for the first season at St Mary's. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintsLoyal Posted 27 March, 2023 Share Posted 27 March, 2023 I have no objection to a red kit and my first regular season as a kid was watching them play in one back in 86. I didnt like the cortese adidas red kit as the red was too light and the gold lettering didnt work visually. Incidentally on a sponsor note from the past has 'veho' gone bust ?

At the time we had to have two versions of every kit, one with a sponsor and one without as any game on TV, even short highlights, could not show shirts with sponsors. 12 hours ago, Turkish said: that's interesting, i didn't know that. How times have changed, when did that rule change? About that time (late 70’s/1980) Coventry were sponsored by Talbot Cars and the strip was designed to incorporate their logo. After a high profile fall out they had to have a different kit for TV. I think they also considered a name change to Coventry Talbot but that was also vetoed.

bpsaint Posted 27 March, 2023 Share Posted 27 March, 2023 (edited) This seasons kit wouldn’t have been so bad if it’d had red under the arms too à la 99/01. I don’t know what’s wrong with the clowns on our commercial team but if they came up with a simple tidy red and white striped kit, without a plain back, and released it at the end of May so it’s available all summer they’d sell thousands of the things.

I thought this year's home kit was okay. Then someone added the red side panel, and it was much better. Between logos falling off, delays and suppliers going bust, that dept has looked a bit rubbish in recent times, not always of their own doing.

This must have been c83/84 red and white home kit, light blue and dark blue away kit. IIRC we wore this 3 times away to Blackburn and Sheffield Wednesday in the FA Cup and this picture looks like away to QPR on their plastic pitch as the other teams wore blue and white shirts We had a third kit that was similar a few years ago but it had white pin stripes down the middle, with black shorts and red socks.

I liked the white version, which looks `clean' and the logo fractionally less tacky. Was it just me or did anyone else think the pinstripe looked like it had been misprinted/badly lined up? Not having a gap between the ends of the Umbro diamond and the pinstripes showed just how little thought and care had gone into this kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarehamSaintJames Posted 11 May, 2023 Share Posted 11 May, 2023 It just needs to have a lot of red again, stripes too. Lots saying that stripes are coming back but I think it’s more wishful thinking than concrete rumours. This years kit has to be one of the worst in the clubs history. No thought, logic or detail to it. It looks like it was created on Microsoft Paint. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 15 May, 2023 Share Posted 15 May, 2023 Just read that Bristol City have terminated their contract with Hummel over this seasons supply issues. The article also said, Southampton are also considering ending the deal after only 2 years. Due to ongoing supply issues the club may be forced to look elsewhere. Anyone know if this is true? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kit doesn't overly bother me, not crazy on stripes but every other season seems OK to me but maybe time for a blast from the past. This one gets brought up every year every year I pray we get it. It would put us apart from the other red/white stripe teams at least. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westmidlandsaint Posted 16 May, 2023 Share Posted 16 May, 2023 Any chance we can go back to red & white stripes next season. We surrendered badly this season and not helped that we've looked like a bunch of white flags running around. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
