Agreed 100%
To recycle (no pun intended) the old Alan Sugar quote when Klinsmann left Spurs and gave AS a shirt he’d played in; I wouldn’t be seen washing the car with it on a Sunday morning! |  | | |

Depressingly, it will sell like hot cakes. |
You were right, Pat. There were more pink and yellow tops on display yesterday than at a Taylor Swift concert. Even fat, middle-aged men were wearing them. |  |

Somehow the shirts look even worse when it's a fan wearing it. On the pitch, the white shorts mean it's not quite as disgusting as the all pink kit that was first leaked. It's personal taste, but in my book pink is the worst colour in the world and the less I see of it the better. | | | |

The only good thing about it is by this time next year it will be gone, that said, Puma have plenty of previous for kit designs that can just make you feel unwell like the Citeh away kit that (shirts and sorts combined) went from yellow, through peach to pink! That might not be in a he right colour order.
The problem is if, as seems to be the case, this pink monstrosity goes down well in terms of sales then it will only encourage Puma and the club to come up with something equally as nauseating for next season, God only knows what, but I’m sure they will think of something! | | | |

Oh there’s a plethora of pantone colour options just waiting out there for us next season! Of course, since Covid, CAD now plays a big part in the sampling process so they can create dozens of virtual designs as different colourway options before going to physical sampling which makes it so much easier to create plenty of dross like our pink kit to choose from.
Back in the day I used to do business with two U.K. companies that made football kit fabric. Sperrin Textiles in Barnes and Glendield Textiles in Leicester. Glenfield supplied fabrics for all the major brands and I can tell you we dodged a few bullets over the years! One Saints sample made for Hummel (first time around) was an all lilac kit but we opted for white / Solent green with the Draper sponsorship on. In Admiral’s day the yellow ‘flames’ third kit was originally peach flames on the first sample but thankfully ended up yellow. They also did a yellow & royal blue bar stripes flames pattern but it didn’t look right. We also dodged a mint and light grey bar stripe away kit and a chessboard red and white squares for a home kit - Pony era from memory…
Glenfield gave me one of the alternative samples to the yellow flames shirt which is a complex yellow pattern using the same colours as the flames that hints subtly at bar stripes but also at our old diagonal sash all blended together - it actually looks good. It got down to the either / or choice with yellow flames and just lost out at the final hurdle so I have a Saints shirt that never was… |  |
