Saints CEO Martin Semmens has been speaking to the media about the issue with the sponsors logo on this season's shirts and asked the fans just to be patient a little longer for the solution to be rectified.
Those Saints fans who rushed out to buy the new kit and then found that the shirt was almost immediately voided with a change of sponsor are being asked to be patient just a little longer
Saints CEO Martin Semmens has confirmed that the club are working towards a solution for those fans, with the chief executive pleading for patience from supporters as they look to try and resolve the issue.
"It was a very quick process to get things moving for the season," he told BBC Radio Solent Sport.
"Fixing the merchandising issue is much more complicated. We looked at whether we can bring all the shirts back in and take the logos off, or put a sticker over the top, but we have tried that and it doesn’t work, so that leads you to the only real conclusion, which is we have to reprint the shirt."
"At the moment we are looking into the viability of that and all we can really say to the fans is please have a bit of patience with us, but we will get it done and you will get what you need, but we are still working through those finer details.”
This also probably means that it will be a little while before the new shirts appear in the shops, the club now have thousands of shirts they cant sell, three designs plus the goalkeepers kits and you cant just get that number of shirts manufactured and shipped over to the UK in a short period of time.
Under Armour produce or indeed any kit manufacturer produce kits in large numbers across the World have schedules and to slot in big rush orders is not an easy task.
