Saints Kits Season 2024/25 - Page 24 NSFW

[SaintsLoyal]

Hummel had a five year kit deal, so its ending early then ?

A pure red and white stripe kit on both sides.

Umbro seem to be the only brand making decent bespoke kits these days.

Back to yellow for away, but what about the home?

I believe this is Hummels last year so one more special home kit or back to stripes?

What colour/colours would people prefer for the 3rd kit? Black, green or white? Or maybe even purple 😶

Just this please… 🔴⚪️🔴

Your company is generous! Mine (also software) would never allow a break clause  

Depends how good a deal you make the purchaser *think* they are getting...

And we've never had a company exercise their right to take up the break in the 18 years that I've worked there, so win-win really

From what I understand the Hummel contract has been terminated due to an earlier supply debacle and we are going with a different supplier. 

Edit: Just noticed an earlier post saying the same thing but mentioning Puma - not the name I heard.

I hope we can get a deal with Castore. I only tend to wear sports gear for golf and in the gym but I’ve bought a few bits of Castore gear recently for leisure wear. Tracksuit bottoms for around the house, a few gym t-shirts, a jacket for walking and a hoodie for wearing under my Saints shirt obviously plus a few bits for the kid. It’s really good quality, well made and looks good and whilst not the cheap it’s worth paying a bit more than the likes of under armour and adidas. They’ve nailed it in terms of a hitting the sweet spot of price v quality.

Definitely some nice stuff from Castore but think they've been getting some bad publicity for their supply chain and the quality of kits they provided to Villa, Newcastle and Rangers. Villa had that really sweaty kit 😂. After the Hummel experiment failed I could definitely see the club taking the safe option by returning to Adidas or seeking out Nike (if they're interested)

I seem to remember a few Wolves and cricket fans complaining about the quality of their kit too. Amazing how difficult it apparently is to make a polyester T-shirt which doesn’t fall apart in the wash and deliver it on time.

Really? Everything I’ve ever bought from them for me and the kid have always been excellent quality. I heard something about Villa having an issue with the kit but that’s the only one. Also never had any issues with delivery either. The first I bought from them was  a pair of tracksuit bottoms in the sale about this time last year which I wear 2-3 days a week at home and at kids football and they are as good as new.

Harlequin (my  rugby team) supporters have nothing but bad reviews of the Castore kit this season!

I’m genuinely surprised to hear all the bad reviews. As I say I’ve had nothing but good things to say, a mate of mine is global sales director for a decent golf brand and he rates them too. Wonder why they seem to be doing a bad job with team stuff

Personally I'd like to see us make overtures to Hi-Tec to see if we can lure them into the footy kit market. If they turn us down perhaps we can turn to Slazenger or Lonsdale.

Lonsdale had a go at football kits for teams like Blackburn, Birmingham City and Sunderland around 2005. The designs were awful and it didn't go well.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Admiral having a third go with Saints.

Yeah that's not really a rumour to be fair

Gutted if we are leaving Hummel, I've really liked our kits with them (especially the Home and the White one), but maybe thats because I'm an 80's/90's kid.

[westmidlandsaint]

As mentioned a while ago I'd heard it was Puma and I'm still hearing it is going to be Puma from my source who seems fairly confident.

Yep, I'd originally heard Macron but now they tell me they are sure it's Puma. Was between the two - on balance much prefer Puma.

If it is Puma it will be horrible, as Newcastle fans will confirm

Shame as I think Hummel kits are generally quite smart, exceptions being last season's crap, although that is probably more down to those choosing them.

Would prefer Hummel to Puma or some of the main 'brands' mentioned, but then again I'm more concerned about how it looks on the pitch watching Saints than how soon the replicas are in stock so if they've balllsed up on that you can understand the club looking elsewhere.

How hard can it be......

[Bakovnetski]

A return to a 5 red stripe shirt (front and back) and back to original navy shorts would be great. Sets us apart from the others with red/white shirt and black shorts.

[Kenilworthy]

This would make a lovely Saints shirt

[Wade Garrett]

We should go full Primark.  Shell-suits a little short in the leg and white socks.

Fucking smart as fuck.

If by "Saints Shirt" you mean "Uniform for waiting staff at a 50s themed Americana restaurant" then yes, would be lovely.

My lad had his first training session for his new team last night. He turned up in this season home kit, most of the other lads were in Leeds, Man City or Real Madrid kits, got a few comments like "Southampton" and laughs, then spent the next hour running rings round them at one point rolling the ball back onto his foot flicking it over the defenders head and running round him to collect it the other side, it was glorious to watch 🙂

no. If only I was remotely ITK. But I love speculation about football kits

Probably close, they’re clearing all kits and training gear at 50% off at mo so will want to shift as much dead stock as they can before. Or maybe they’ve had to send back all the new shirts with PL badges on the sleeves…………
