I went in and saw them the other day they are as bad as they look along with the baseball caps. Genuinely wouldn't be surprised if they were made by Vistaprint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i wanted to be really critical, whoever edited the photo has done a really poor job too, choppy outline where it has been cropped. Embarrassing.

It is, and in fairness to the club they've been quite consistent until this season. I wonder what's changed this season as they've moved away from the specific brand colours and logos which is quite a bold rebrand, especially in the context of a football club. There's been very little fan consultation over any of the changes made in recent times (I don't remember the wider fanbase being consulted on the new badge for example, although I might be misremembering) which makes things worse.

downendcity Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 I bet you didn't know that we have a marketing academy running alongside the football academy. Here are some of this year's marketing graduates putting the finishing touches to corporate branding and this season's kit design. P.S. the lad at the front is wearing this season's training shirt - one that Jay Dasilva would have worn had he stayed. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Sinclair Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 One is almost pining for the return of the Bristol Sport kits, the comic sans training wear seems almost classic in contrast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 They do seem to be taking the piss a bit with everything at the moment, from kit suppliers, badges, colours, quality, and prices. It does make you wonder who's signing all of this off. That being said I do quite like that blue polo shirt (had the Robin and the ball logo on it) that was being worn the other day. With that being said, I've just realised it's 10x worse than I first thought - when you have to explain which shirt/badge combo you're talking about, it really isn't good.....

Tim Monaghan Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 (edited) It’s really bad isn’t it. How can you go from Hummels quality to this absolute garbage? Hummels design work and quality was 10000x better than this. It looks like it’s been made by Vista print. The club is really going to take a hit on merchandise sales. That said, we haven’t actually got anything to buy!!!!! I’ve just popped on to our website and, oh my god When you click on training wear, this is what you get: The only thing there is gloves, in July, when we’ve just had the hottest June since records began . Then you look a the accessories page: Gloves, bobble hats, a crap bucket hat and a calendar that’s only got 6 months remaining. October has the Wolves goalkeeper and December being a Bournemouth striker! Honestly incompetent at the highest order at the moment commercially.

Street red Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 Looks like Southampton have the same colour training wear but it's Hummel that supply it, Honestly what is going on with our merchandise has anyone been in the shop and give there opinions on it.

Dredd Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 The best feedback is to just not buy any of it. Regardless if you are one of these people who just buy the shirt because it's the new one. Maybe if the club get hit in the pocket then they'll put some more effort in. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gone above and beyond. There is zero chance that the club is unaware of the supporters feelings on the kit design, quality, suppliers, badges etc from social media interactions and on here 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even sorted out a problem with rugby tickets once, which is certainly not in his job description! He does liaise.
