Squad numbers on the shirts. : Fri Feb 08, 2019 10:40 pm  
Small grumble. At the game tonight I (and a lot of folk round me) struggled to keep up with the identity of the players as the ball was being thrown around quickly due to the gold squad numbers on the back of the shirts.

To me it’s an awful design and needs to revert to bold black as soon as possible.

I believe the gold numbers is because of being the champions, suspect that the kit design had already been made with black numbers in mind.

Doesn't make much sense though if you can't make out the numbers. :CRAZY:
Back to black asap.

They show up on the TV though but I agree they are hard to follow on the pitch

Do folk not just recognise the players by that round thing which is sat on their shoulders? Or their body size & build? Or their running style?
The numbers aren’t great but unless your a commentator why would you need to look at them?

What about new fans, and away fans who may not recognize some of the less well known players in the squad ?
Next Sunday I am bringing four people who have never been to a RL game in their lives, I'm really looking forward to telling them who all the players are !!!!
This is a mistake that needs sorting rapido :SHOOT:

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.

For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.

Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row

Agree. They were awful (and this is coming from people who have watched the team for years/decades.

I understand the premise of the gold numbers, and they would work great on the away shirt.

Simple fix for the home shirts would be to outline each number in black - If the club doesn't want to buy all new numbers, use a black permanent marker.

Ridiculous that nobody thought that a light gold on a pure white background might not be a great idea.
