Saints have unveiled their new home shirt for next season – and the red and white stripes are staying put.

The kits are once again being produced by adidas, who resume manufacturing of the strips after a brief lull in their involvement with the club.

In a press statement to launch the kit the club said: “The stripes offer a traditional and clean look to the shirt and reflect the DNA of Saints.

“Promoted by the club’s #ShowYourStripes campaign, there has been great excitement building around the launch of the new home shirt.

“The rounded ribbed collar creates a halo effect, inspired by the club’s nickname, and white inserts at the bottom of the shirt offer a strong feature to balance the design.

“Emblazoned across the middle of the shirt is Main Club Sponsor Veho, while the adidas logo sits proudly at the centre of the chest.

“The shirt, which is of a standard adidas jersey fit, is armed with climacool performance technology, providing a breathable kit on the pitch.

Daily Echo:

“It will be available in mini kits (2yrs, 3yrs, 4yrs), junior sizes (5-6yrs, 7-8yrs, 9-10yrs, 11-12yrs, 13-14yrs), and adult sizes ranging from small to XXXL in short-sleeve only.

“The shirt will retail at £50 for adults and £40 for juniors. Mini kits (shirts and shorts) are priced at £40.

“The home shirt will be available to buy in store at 9am on Friday 3rd July, with pre-orders beginning on Monday 1st June. You can register now to receive a reminder when pre-ordering commences.

“Details of the remainder of the home kit, away kit and the goalkeepers’ kits will be announced in due course.”
