There are rumours going about about next years kit being the sash design with the sponsors name under the Saints badge.
Although the traditionalists were up in arms, throwing their toys out of the pram, I just can't shake the feeling that keeping the sash is a good thing. To me in recent years, the stripes are intrinsically linked to underperforming, dismal sides. This year the sash looks as though it is going to be linked to success. Why drop it?

I love the Sash, although they would have to have a slight redesign, otherwise it won't sell.
The Sash is unique. Traditionalists will complain, but did they complain at the early 80's Rank Xerox kit, or the Friends Provident one (I think it was) that were adorned by Keegan and Le Tiss respectively? Probably not, as were doing just fine in those kits.
Time moves on, people should too...

Man City away kit a couple of years ago was a sash with a reduced size logo under the badge. I always thought it was a good look. I would be happy with that, although I don't believe it myself.

I want stripes with a nice simple round neck. Am I the only one who doesn't like the sash?

I love the sash. We currently have the best kit in the Football League and the best kit we've ever had, IMHO.

The sash is ok by me for the purposes for which it was introduced.
I do want my stripes back (round neck is nice). The Ron Davies kit please with the red socks and single band round the calf.

I love the sash, but surely a redesign will happen as, who in there right mind will buy the same kit the only difference being that this one has an advert on it?
Keep the sash but change the shirt a bit... Not that I care, I haven't bought a shirt in years, apart from the sash one and wont be buying one after this season, until they release the 150 years one

I don't mind the sash but it doesn't feel like I'm watching Saints sometimes.
I liked the fact that this season's shirts were sponsor-free because I'm attached to the club not a company but I would like to see a return to stripes.
I always assumed the sash would be a one-off. It was a nice idea but let's get back to stripes.

Im all over the sash, have to say I love it. I would be happy for it to stay. I'm all for tradition but I'm also all for setting new traditions as well. Why shouldn't we move into a new and exciting era with a new kit?
We can bring the stripes back as a special commemorative kit for our 150th birthday.
And this doesn't mean we lose our old traditions; just because we now play in a sash, doesn't mean we should forget the stripes. That will always be part of our history.
I think a fresh start has been good for the club as a whole and the sash has been part of that. Let's continue our rise in the new era with the shirt with which we started it.

gardez la large ceinture ! (is that right Chris?) It makes us look continental, unique, and indicates a new start! We all have a hankering for the old Dell, but no one would go back to it now, would they? The sash represents a modern, vibrant Saints Talking to neutrals up here they are jealous of it  |

Stripes are for losers. FACT.
Keep the sash. Just make the shorts black and the socks red.

One of the more sensible(!) posters on the Dark side is saying that he has seen the new shirts and the home strip IS red and white stripes and the away is yellow and blue in a Brazil-esque manner.
