Saints fans have today woken up to bright new addition to their kit locker. The kit which is intriguingly given a grass green appearance appears to bear no resemblance to any kit from their history is in stark contrast to the red and white striped home effort that was released at the start of June.
The green shirt is complimented with a dark blue diagonal sash that continues through the club crest which has also been turned green for this shirt, with the sleeves bearing the 3 stripes of Adidas in dark blue too.
The “v” necked collar, sleeve trim and additional thick piping to the bottom of the shirt feature the same dark blue “breathable” mesh-like trim with navy blue shorts and green socks to finish the look.
Some fans will be left wondering how the kit fits into the club and its history. With some murmurings of the colour green being linked to future commercial partnerships or conspiracy theories against the templates and too much control from sportswear companies, the club havent had anything like this colour with the vague exception of the early 90s blue/green Pony kit. Maybe a slight change back to the more traditional away club colours would help appease the rumblings?
