Southampton Football Club have revealed their new kit for the 2022/23 season.

New kit

The club say the new home shirt draws inspiration from those worn by the flamboyant and free-flowing Saints side of the early 80’s. Reversing the colours of the shirt first worn by trailblazers like Kevin Keegan, Alan Ball and Charlie George, the striking central red stripe and central badge mark a brave new direction for the club.

Sarah Batters, Director of Marketing & Partnerships for Southampton Football Club, said: "Being brave is in our DNA. We’ve always looked for new ways to push boundaries and this season’s kit is no different.

"As part of this launch, we asked players, staff, and fans what bravery means to them and in time we will be releasing some of these stories.

"Working with hummel enables us to creatively push our kit designs and this shirt is no different. Celebrating our heritage with a flip on the classic 1980 shirt but modernised with nods to St Mary’s stadium and a bold central badge.”
