Looking at the pics on the OS, have we basically got the same shorts for both home and away?

Expand  

Pretty much, same design. Away shorts are Navy with Yellow.

Pretty sure its a UEFA/EPL rule that prohibits striped backs. Has been since 2015 ish I think.

Welcome to the world of corporate buzz words.

I really enjoyed watching the launch, 20 mins of watching people sipping beers then Kenzie building the excitement, super stuff. 

Kits ordered.

No idea why all of our kits have to have the cheap, terrible looking massive vinyl sponsor over the front. Every year the same.

The Starling Bank one actually looks alright.

I don't mind the shirt, I don't like the sponsor - but whatever the club thinks is financially our best option then so be it. I get the home shirt as a Christmas present from the wife every year so it's not like I have to spend my own hard earned on it.

I do need a new Saints hoody though...

It’s ok, clean, simple, just a shame it’s a plain back, I just don’t get that. There’s no need, a black number would have looked great on a striped back. I won’t get one because of that. Maybe next year.

Kits are fine, sponsor does ruin them but if that’s the biggest offer then we take it. 

For me red and white stripes for home and a yellow away kit is my preference, so can’t complain.

It's a UEFA/EPL Guideline sadly.

Don’t mind the shirts although the bib effect is a bit strange. Much prefer the home shirt to last year’s effort. Is the third kit really pink?

Agree with everyone about the sponsor’s logo.

I know there’s a guideline for those who qualify but we don’t! 
I just think it’s a ridiculous rule no matter the team, we have been watching striped  backs for decades, now somebody that probably had nothing to do that day decides we all have to have plain backs, we could see the numbers perfectly fine  years ago, now somehow it’s too difficult? Absolutely ridiculous, it ruins a kit in my opinion. At least for another year I save on having to buy one.

Waited all this time for that. Not that I will buy it for myself, but will for the boy. I will only get training tops, and they are not up to much.

Looks okay. Basic, with a decent collar, feature at the bottom to give it a boost and an interesting back. The away kit looks more than okay.

Shame I missed the stream, but I didn't want to risk flashbacks of cringy work events.

I guess that kit manufacturers knock up a handful of designs for the club to then choose the ones they like best?

If this is the case then whoever has the final say at Saints clearly has little taste. Other than last season, which was a safe bet as it was a replica of a popular 80's kit, Saints shirts have been piss poor for years. 

It can't be a case of every manufacturer being rubbish at designing kits. They seem to do ok with other clubs so it must be that we have Stevie Wonder making the final decision.

The home kit on the players look okay, if utterly uninspired. 

The ones hanging up in the shop look shockingly terrible.

I think it's the extra fabric in XL etc, is adding an extra white strip of stripe ? Is that what is happening? Looks horrid.

Otherwise, three plain white stripes down the front of a red kit with black trim is pretty much what you'd expect/want from a ' traditional ' Saints kit. No?

Hummel's striped Kilmarnock kit for next season. This would of been lovely, striped back too!

Yeah, it does have a Sunderland-y feel. Sunderland are back with Hummel this year and they've immediately made them a kit which would have been great for Saints. spacer.png

Here's what might have been. 

Should have stayed with Hummel.

The home kit is atrocious. Reminds me of the old flybe exeter kit (which was better). Struggle to nail "lower league" better if we had tried.

Not sure Puma have ever made a decent kit. Such a shame we’ve gone with them. Really poor effort, and a shocking sponsor logo. Looks so cheap. 

How very underwhelming

The club wanted to maximise commercial revenue i guess.... hopefully that didn't include shirt sales 🤣

I think we'd have had 89/90 home kit  which would have been brilliant

Who has the more stylish kit, us or Brackley Town ?

Expand  

They have a nicer sponsor logo but the actual kit is nothing worth writing a musical about.

I wonder if we’re the only fans who do this or if the Arsenal forum is full of people saying, “it looks like a Bristol City kit,” every summer.

Just cracked opened a bottle of Kingfisher, dimmed the lights and going to put the opening 30 mins of the kit launch on and pretend I'm there mingling with Southamptons best fans and influencers.
