Saints fc website just released a statement to say that we are producing our own team wear and training wear for next season. Back to the good old S instead of Adidas or Nike then. Thoughts?!

Should have Adidas back for 15/16 season not surprised we have done this

It is what it is. We've known for months that it was coming and the reasons why. It's just for one season - and it might even be quite decent. But as long as the team are quite decent, who gives a crap about the shirt manufacturer?

Contrary to popular optimism it does matter who makes your kit. It also matter what it looks like. It's a point of prestige to have the best and biggest sponsors and so forth. It's indicative of our current situation, that not one reputable manufacturer was willing to take us on at late notice. This in itself is not a massive deal, but it's what it signifies, it's the big picture. The minor details of troubling times at Southampton build up and contribute to things like players leaving. We, more then ever, need to make a big marquee signing to buck the trend we're on.

With the big sports brands only willing to operate on a template basis for kit design, i'm glad we fell out with adidas as our current kit is like at least half a dozen other teams in uk and europe. Maybe this will be a more traditional design.

Agree it's not one thing it's whole comedy of errors that mount up!
Making the club look like they haven't got a clue what's going on!
And it's us the fans that put up with the piss taking mocked by the media
