Saints reveal 2017/18 Under Armour Kits
Show/hide article…
Taking inspiration from Southampton FC’s kits from the 1980-1983 seasons, the home shirt echoes those worn by Saints legends including Kevin Keegan and the club’s all-time top scorer, Mick Channon. Stripes - synonymous with the Saints - are featured in the away shirt in on-trend teal and black colours.
To launch the new kits, Saints stars Manolo Gabbiadini, Ryan Bertrand, Fraser Forster and Maya Yoshida have been reimagined by the club as 80s superheroes in an animated adventure.
The animations – live now on the Southampton FC YouTube channel – see the South Coast players use their powers to rescue stolen designs of the kit from an evil villain, and return them safely to a top secret Under Armour design lab.
Released today to mark pre-orders of the new home and away match kits going live, fans can join the conversation across social media using #MadeForHeroes – with plenty of heroic activity planned across the club’s channels in the run up to kits being available at the end of the month.
The new kit, which will go on sale from Friday 30th June, is now available to pre-order. Find out more here.
Designed in Under Armour’s Innovation Lab in Baltimore, both home and away jerseys feature Under Armour’s four-way stretch HeatGear® fabric, which offers improved mobility alongside a Moisture Transport System, allowing moisture to be wicked away from the body to ensure players stay drier for longer.
The home jersey features a bold and fresh redesign focusing on a single vertical white stripe through the centre and rear of the jersey, inspired by the early ‘80s shirts.
The home shirt is complemented with black shorts with a red trim. Made from lightweight fabric, strategic ventilation is built into the shorts at key points where the body most commonly releases heat allowing for optimum coolness. White socks with a red band featuring the club’s ‘Saints’ nickname complete the home kit.
The away kit shirt features five teal-coloured stripes and is complemented by teal shorts as well as teal and black hooped socks.
The club’s ‘WE MARCH ON’ slogan is embellished on the outside back neck of both home and away jerseys giving them a sign-off unique to the Saints.
David Thomas, Commercial Director of Southampton FC, said: “The launch of the new kit is the first chapter in the story of our fans’ seasons. We wanted to combine the innovative nature of our partnership with Under Armour with a tongue-in-cheek nod to the match day heroics of our First Team squad.
"We are always proud to present the latest edition of the kit, and we think the eye-catching retro design will capture the imaginations of fans young and old. Under Armour continue to give our players the tools required to reach their potential, and these kits are no different – we are looking forward to August already.”
Chris Bate, VP and Managing Director, Europe at Under Armour said: “This kit launch is another exciting step on our journey with Southampton FC. The bold designs of both kits, as well as the innovative creative campaign, will create impact on and off the field.
"The club’s values of hard-work and innovation are consistent with ours – we’re both young and hungry for success. Re-imagining some of the club’s top athletes truly matches the performance technology behind the kit, and we believe it will excite fans just as much as the team’s prospects for the upcoming Premier League season.”

The Young Lions secured a goalless draw in a game of few chances at the Kielce Stadium.
“It was very tough and I think the opening game in a tournament always is,” explained Ward-Prowse.
“We had a long build-up to tonight’s game and I felt we did well in periods, but maybe as a team we need a little bit more confidence to play.
“We started the game very well, and maybe we need a little bit of luck and a bit more quality to break them down.
The biggest chance of the game came when Linus Wahlqvist was hauled down in the penalty area by Ben Chilwell on 80 minutes to win a penalty for Sweden.
But Jordan Pickford stayed upright to gain all the headlines and deny Wahlqvist from the spot, before saving Carlos Strandberg’s follow-up.
“We’re thankful to Jordan for his save and that will give him a lot of confidence,” continued Ward-Prowse.
“Throughout a game you’re not going to be able to dominate for the whole 90 minutes so we have to manage it.
“We realised we were up against a good team, who were going to have periods in possession as well but we dug deep and limited them to few chances.”

Linus Wahlqvist’s penalty was bad… but these were even worse
Show/hide article…
Linus Wahlqvist submitted his entry for the worst penalty of all time on Friday night but he’s got some way to go to matching some of these abominations.
Wahlqvist’s half-hearted Panenka was easily saved by England Under 21s goalkeeper Jordan Pickford during the Young Lions’ Euro 2017 clash with Sweden.
However bad the aimless chip down the middle was, though, these efforts from the likes of Robert Pires, David Beckham and Roberto Baggio were considerably worse.
Jason Puncheon stepped up to take an eighth minute penalty for Crystal Palace against Tottenham at White Hart Lane.
But what happened next would no doubt have taken some time to get over. Puncheon blazed the shot high and quite remarkably wide.
‘Sometimes you just want to curl up in a ball, but you need to stand up and be counted,’ Puncheon told the Telegraph about it a year later. ‘The best way I could respond was with my feet.’
Arsenal were only leading 1-0 at the time, but that didn’t stop Pires and Thierry Henry attempting perhaps the most bizarre (and cocky) penalty of Premier League history.
Having already scored from the spot, Pires stepped up again to double the Gunners’ lead. But instead of shooting, Pires and Henry hatched a plan that would see the former roll the ball into the latter’s path. Needless to say, it didn’t work. Moral of the story: when you win a penalty…shoot.
In the same ilk as Puncheon’s dismal attempt on Saturday. Left footed. High and wide to the goalkeeper’s right.
Only this time there was a trophy at stake. Cardiff and Liverpool had drawn 2-2 in the Carling Cup final after a pulsating 120 minutes.
Steven Gerrard had missed Liverpool’s first penalty, Kenny Miller followed suit for the Bluebirds. Adam stepped up to put the Merseysiders ahead. Oh…
Dubbed as the ‘the easiest save from a penalty ever’, Nevin’s tame attempt has become a big internet hit.
Luckily for the Scotsman, Chelsea were already 4-0 up thanks to a Kerry Dixon hat-trick and another from Keith Jones.
So there was very little pressure on Nevin as he stepped up - and it showed as he simply side-footed his kick straight at Alex Williams.
Williams probably had time to jog back to the dressing room, have a cup of tea and and still return to his goal in time to save Nevin’s kick.
There’s a time and place to try a ‘Panenka’ penalty. A play-off semi-final second leg penalty shoot-out isn’t the time or the place.
Kermogrant, playing for Leicester at the time, learned that the hard way. After six successful consecutive penalties, Kermogrant stepped up to put the Foxes 4-3 ahead.
But instead of putting his foot through the ball, he attempted a cheeky chip that goalkeeper David Marshall, even though he began diving to his right, easily saved.
Oh well, Yann, only a place in the Premier League and £90million at stake.
Not the most high-profile penalty miss, but without doubt the most comical.
Following a goalless draw against Whitley Bay, the Lancaster City stepped up to take a penalty in the ensuing shoot-out.
Or maybe ‘stepped up’ is too loose a term. As he ran up to take the kick he somehow tripped, stumbled a little bit before making virtually no contact with the ball.
Enough contact, however, for the ball to trickle over (just) the six yard line. To make matters worse for Devine, Lancaster went on to lose the shoot-out.
This isn’t the worst miss on our countdown but it was definitely the costliest.
Chelsea skipper Terry had the chance to win the Champions League for his side in rain-soaked Moscow but, after slipping as he struck the ball, his effort clipped the outside of Edwin Van Der Sar’s left-hand post.
We all know what happened next. Nicolas Anelka fluffed his spot-kick and Manchested lifted their second European crown under Sir Alex Ferguson.
Terry - and thousands of fans in blue - were left in tears.
The former Real Madrid midfielder managed two high-profile blunders in quick succession, blasting over in a vital Euro 2004 qualifier against Turkey in October 2003 and then against Portugal at the tournament itself just eight months later.
After successfully negotiating their first - and so far only - penalty shoot-out win against Spain in the quarter-finals, England were faced with another spot-kick lottery in the semi-finals.
Even on home soil, England couldn’t overcome Germany as Gareth Southgate’s unconvincing effort was easily saved by Oliver Khan.
Andreas Moller then stepped up to put the Germans into the final, which they duly won against the Czech Republic.
Five goals from Baggio had helped Italy into the World Cup final but that couldn’t stop him from turning from hero to villain with just one swipe of his right boot.
The pony-tailed one saw his effort fly well over the bar, allowing Brazil to capitalise and lift another World Cup.
It might have only been a friendly, but Lineker’s weak effort is one of the worst seen in an England shirt. And that’s saying something.
After being brought down, the striker stepped up to score his 49th goal for the Three Lions but saw his shot easily gathered by Brazil keeper Carlos.
Lineker failed to score in his next four England appearances as his international career came to an end.
Baggio helped end the 1994 World Cup with an awful penalty but the tournament also began with a dodgy spot-kick when Diana Ross took part in the opening ceremony.
The singer scuffed her kick wide but that didn’t stop the goal exploding. Embarrassing.
