woodsaint1 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 (edited) Stopped caring about kits a long time ago - as long as they dont deviate massively from the standard red and white for home and not go too outlandish on an away colour, which they havent done for these latest kits. What matters more is the team wearing them. Great to see Downes back. We desperately need a creative AM and a 12-15 goal PL striker sharpish however Edited July 17 by woodsaint1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pimpin4rizeal Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Worst we have had in a long time home kit is about as Sheffield united as you can get and away looks like a Liverpool shirt . it’s a real shame we moved away from Hummel imo., they make some great shirts and feel like they had some connection with the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GastonRamirez Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 I honestly am a little shocked at the sponsor, I get the club 'needs money' but the sponsor didn't have licensing to operate in the UK until a couple days ago hence the waiting time for the shirt reveal and not only that, they have marketed it to us as a 'gaming platform' when its actually a gambling site that promotes illegal gambling to global audiences (Mainly China) and uses cryptocurrency so its not traceable. I cannot wait for the ban. BBC Article explaining how those companies are run and how they bypass the marketing licensing required to sponsor a shirt as well: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-64662006 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cascadia Saint Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 It’s the yellow in the logo that bugs me the most. Maybe I’ll bleach it or take a sharpie to it… is the women’s shirt a different cut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.Johnathan.Wilson Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Eh I'm not too keen on the patterns on the away shirt and the back of the home shirt, it reminds me of architecture projects where the designer was too far up inside their own head. Though I will say that inverted shapes and non uniform patterning do fit better on a jersey then a building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niceandfriendly Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 (edited) The kit looks awful in that dodgy pic that Master Bates posted, but in the proper pics it looks really quite nice. Decent sized stripes, black trim. Sponsor is at least mostly black and white which fits the overall colour scheme - not full of dodgy colours which clash horrifically. The back would be better with stripes but at least it's not plain red. Yep it's pretty much what everyone has been asking for in terms of a red and white striped kit. Nothing incredible but certainly not the "abomination" some silly billies have claimed. 6.5 or 7 out of 10.

Red and White with black trim looks so much better, and the pattern on the stripes looks awful too. Ours isn't perfect but it's far cleaner and more stylish than that Sunderland effort.

M271 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 (edited) People complain when it’s not traditional stripes and now when there is such a kit they complain it looks a poor version of Sunderland, Exeter or Brackley. I must be missing something but apart from details like width of stripes, collar or sleeves what are they supposed to do with traditional stripes? The sponsor is the sponsor and that’s their logo, what do you expect put Draper on the front even though they are not our front of shirt sponsor and probably don’t have the marketing budget to be? Overall I personally like the home and away kits being traditional colours and design, although I dislike plain shirt backs when there is no regulatory need but the pattern on the back of the home shirt does at least soften the look, I don’t know why the away shirt couldn’t have the same patterned back as the front. As for the sponsor whoever we have their logo will be on the front of shirts whether we agree with their selection or not. I would have preferred (if we could have attracted them) a worldwide non betting company such as MSC Cruises ( who do other sporting sponsorship and have local connections ) or some other travel, leisure, electronics or financial company. The EPL has a worldwide audience so it will attract sponsoring companies that operate in many parts of the world. Anyway like it or not these are our shirts for this season, now complete the assembly of our squad and get the best out of the players that we have to compete not just survive in the EPL.

CheshireSaint Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 The two issues for me are Decency and Aesthetics. Decency - Rollbit don't seem to be a company we want to be partners with, at any level. Aesthetics - Even if we must* partner with them, how big of a drama would it have been to make the 'O' chip, red for the home and yellow for the away? Yellow on red and black just kills it as a design. *Imagine if those with the power were to see the overall responses (they surely must have had an inkling of the reaction) across social media and cancelled the sponsorship as a consequence? Imagine how much positive publicity Saints would receive? The have shot themselves in the foot massively and it just didn't need to happen. Surely we could have just gone for the next best financial offer and took the hit? What price on standards? This company are banned in many countries, do we want to be associated with them for 30 pieces of silver? Not me chef. Probably not as easy as just cancelling but surely there is a way. All we can do I suppose is boycott and hit sales. The 30 pieces of silver would soon be cancelled out. What a complete and utter f^&k up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Really didn't like the home kit when I saw the leaked shot. Couldn't believe it looked so cheap, like a knock-off from Poundland or a holiday stall. Looked better in the launch, but it's still a bit telling that most shots have the players grasping at the shirt to pull it, perhaps shielding what a poor cut it is. Looks very baggy, and should be more fitted on the torso. But it is getting better as the hours pass. Like the stripes - no mucking about. The away one, weirdly, I kind of liked to begin with but the more I see it the more I think Norwich City. Logo is horrid, of course, but nout we can do about that. Shame Starling Bank couldn't have stumped up extra to have the women's and the men's. Ho hum. Anyway, it's only a kit. Here's hoping the third (black and yellow stripes?) is a belter.

Saint Garrett Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Look forward to seeing the third kit, Martin said he was a big fan of it...Im guessing it's "bold" which tbh, I don't mind in a third kit. Sadly, it will still have Rollbit plastered on the front. If I do buy one (and I occasionally buy them at the end of the season once discounted) I'll be buying a Starling kit rather than a Rollbit kit.

The Kraken Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 (edited) 7 hours ago, Nolan said: PUMA and Sport Republic will discover that Stripes don't sell very well. We'll back to something better next year. Good. Have a look at historical kits and you can see how often Saints vary from a traditional red and white. http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Southampton/Southampton.htm From the past 50 years: inverse Ajax 5 years; centenary solid red 2 years; Hummel half 2 years; sash 1 year; Cortese red 2 years; inverse Ajax 1 year; inverse sash 1 year; white and red 1 year. That’s 15 out of 50 we’ve gone for something completely non stripes. Then you’ve got another 5 years of candy stripes which were very non traditional, the Pony tick was pretty off the wall, and the 99-01 kit was an almost inverse Ajax. Stripes are gash IMO, very boring especially paired with black shorts and with a plain back looks crap. Tbf that twobit logo would make anything look shit, but Hummel 99 and maybe one of the Sanderson ones have been about the only striped kits I like edit, actually the Admiral one was alright). I’d still like to see us do a proper red and white halves like Southampton St Mary’s 1894-1896 with blue shorts and socks, or a Feyenoord equivalent if sticking to black shorts.

Yeah the rollbit logo really does make it look cheap, it's a shame. The starling logo on the red and white looks quite nice I think, although the Starling logo on the yellow is pretty much identical to Liverpool's kit of last year!
