Back To Stripes Back To Reality For Southampton

Southampton FC are returning to the Premier League and they are doing so with a return to their traditional Rec & White Stripes for the home kit and for the away kit it is another retro feel with yellow shirts and Navy shorts.

Usually this is the time of year I get on my soap box and rant about how our latest marketing and executives in charge of choosing the kit have been actually clueless in their choice of design as was the case just two years ago when our relegation to the Championship came with us wearing what was our worst ever home kit.

But this season I have little to complain about, for the first team kit it is back to red & white stripes and a traditional look to the shirt, the away shirt is also back to our traditional yellow with blue shorts.

This is the first time was have used Puma as a kit supplier as a club and although I have to say I have never been a great fan of their sportwear, I can't complain about what they have knocked up for us this time.

The home kit is distinctively Southampton FC, when you see red & white stripes you think of Southampton, Sunderland, Sheffield United & Stoke, red & white stripes are the identity of all four clubs and it is great to see Saints back to stripes.
