Why don't Southampton play in stripes anymore?

I know I shouldn't care but it doesn't seem right!

Cheap way of introducing a new kit, choose a template kit, slightly different to the usual design (no stripes) and mug the punters off for a season or two then have an amazing epiphany and reintroduce stripes in a couple of years.

Now what other south coast team has ever done that?

They haven't always played in stripes. Southampton's best ever kit was the one they used in the first five years of the 1980s:

After that, I don't think they had stripes for the rest of that decade. Time for a revival of that classy kit?

That is stripes. A red one, a white one and then another red one...

They also had this weird hybrid stripes kit.

My favourite Albion kit of all time was when we had an all-white shirt back in the mid 1970s.

We wore Blue shirts with white sleeves when I started watching. I wish we could go retro to that for a season or two.

When I think of Southampton that is the kit I picture them wearing. They also used unique footballs at the Dell, I can't find a picture of them.
