It’s very of it’s time and if it’s true, it’s something a bit different…. Otherwise it’s just plain red and white stripes…, again…
Got to love the stripes Harry. The thing is, red and white stripes are us, it's how we are known. To say "red and white stripes...again" is like Spurs saying "white... again" or Man Utd "red.... again". That's their colours and red and white stripes are ours. It's not for us to change our identity, we are just fans at this moment in time and after we are gone Harry, red and white stripes will be handed down to the next generation of Saints fans. We are custodians of the stripes and it's our duty to preserve them.
I have done another (3 is my maximum with concepts when I actually do requested work, so I am following a pattern at least) it follows on from the original 1890s quartered shirts, I always liked Bristol Rovers kit when I was a lad back in the 70s. I can post it but I don't want to appear any more 'odd' than I am.
Well here you go - stripes fans will hate it, pinstripe fans likewise but it is a little different if nothing else.
The home one, if the squares were square, not slanted, would work. Or even whole halves like the new home Palace kit. The pinstripes is a nay for me though.
Oh absolutely….. was more tongue in cheek than anything else… still have my first (kind of) red and white striped Saints kit safely stashed… the Pony, Dimplex kit. Occasionally, it’s nice to mix it up a bit, but always returning to the stripes too…
Think we need a home kit that unifies all of our recent history. It should have normal-sized stripes, pinstripes, and also a sash. Plus both chevrons and stripes on the sleeves. And a pony.
