Southampton to wear rainbow kit to fight discrimination

[cambridgeshire canary 7,799]

You love to see it. Not sure if it's the best kit I have ever seen or the worst.. Can it be both at once? 🤔

 

[Greavsy 2,645]

It's a warm up kit, they won't play in it. 

If I've read the article correctly.

That is disgusting whatever it is for!

[canarydan23 4,762]

Absolutely hideous.

[Canarywary 123]

I think the meaning behind it is more important than the aesthetics.

That said, I like an out-there kit and think they should make it their home kit for the season.

I do like an out there kit too... Would be a great 3rd kit..

Absolutely, and the fact we are discussing it proves it's done its job.

Well, we are talking about how disgusting it is rather than whatever was behind it (…which I’ve forgotten, something about rainbows?😉)

Agreed, but it's a start. Without the shirt it would have been nothing..... 

🦄 Are better than 🌈

As ever with stuff like this, the aesthetics are less important. It'll trigger the troglodytes that need to be triggered. Concept is laudable enough though.

Still think that fan-designed concept kit we had for the NHS that was largely white with a small rainbow detail down one side of the upper chest was the best kit I'd seen in any style, for any team, in a long time.

Who do these Saints think they are, with their holier-than-thou attitude.

 

 Just jestin’ , hideous 50s abstract art but a nice sentiment

Altrincham did a pride kit a whole back that was much better than this monstrous effort.

[Mello Yello 2,572]

These folk like it.....

[TheGunnShow 7,377]

Shouldda been this. I don't know whose idea it was, but it was superb. I do have a T-shirt from the 2014 Spreewald Marathon which is fairly similar, but their rainbow is a small swoosh around the event badge and down, but mainly covers one sleeve.

Agreed. I've seen a few 'PL kit reviews' and they're utterly pointless because they're pretty much the same as the last 10 years.

Meanwhile, Saints became the first team to win the Premier League with 38 straight wins as the opposition were all hit with seizures before the games started.

I thought David Guetta already solved all of this stuff.

sI-Iite white DJ playing a Martin Luther King Jr speech over a jank EDM beat on top of a NY skyscraper surrounded by white people...I think the silly man possibly missed the point a tad.

Yep, this season's Spurs home shirt is literally blank. I hate that sort of design chocie way more than something a bit barmy like this Southampton one.

[All the Germans 1,239]

It's still better than our 3rd kit this season.

Agreed. All clubs should have a third kit like this - a perfect vehicle for those that wish to make a statement . Instead we get an orange shirt - which can’t be worn against Wolves - one of only two clubs we clash against, and even then (presumably) we have to change the shorts of our second kit? 
Hats off to Southampton - a great statement and great fun too.

I wonder what kind of rainbow person would feel that shirt actually represents them? 

Did they do any market research before releasing such a hideous garment or is there some kind of pi$$ take agenda going on behind the scenes
