Southampton unveil new retro kits to celebrate 135th anniversary

Southampton are celebrating their 135th anniversary in some style. The Saints have unveiled new retro kits for the 2020-21 season.

The Premier League side unveiled their new home and third kits on Wednesday, July 8th 2020.

The kits gave a nod to their formation in 1885 as St Mary’s Church of England Young Men’s Association.

Southampton’s new kits are made by U.S. company Under Armour, which is their long-term partner.

Southampton home jersey is all red shirt with a white diagonal sash with the third kit a white jersey with a red diagonal sash.

The diagonal sash design pays homage to the original Southampton kits in 1885, as players wore a white shirt and then had a red sash to put over their shoulders.
