Saints tease black and red brand announcement with new social media clip
The 15-second clip posted on X shows a black armchair inflating on a red background, with the Saints badge and the date 31/07/2025 later projected onto the seat.
The retro-style video features a timer that starts at 20:01 and stops at 20:13, prompting questions from some curious supporters in response.
Saints did a similar thing with their away kit, which turned out to be a reimagining of the yellow and blue shirt they wore between 1995 and 1997.
Southampton donned a black and red away shirt during the 2001/02 Premier League season, and could serve as the foundation for their latest retro-inspired kit.
The St Mary's side have also launched their new home kit, which is a reimagining of the white and red striped shirt first worn in 1976/77.
Both the home and away kits feature new principal front-of-shirt sponsor P&O Cruises, who have replaced Rollbit ahead of the Championship season.

Kate Middleton Stuns in Green Suit During Surprise Outing Amid Summer Vacation
Princess Kate Middleton put a brief pause on her summer break for a surprise outing at the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood. Kate, 43, stepped out in a stunning green pantsuit for the rare appearance, according to photos recently released by Kensington Palace. (The Princess of Wales' visit actually took place this past June.) The set from designer Veronica Beard retails at just under $1,000, with the blazer coming in at $489 (currently on sale) and the pants at $498. Kate kept her jacket buttoned with the sleeves pulled up during the royal outing. She was wearing a neutral top underneath the blazer, with just the collar peeking out. Kate Middleton's Tailored Suits Have Us in a Trance Her unannounced visit came as she and husband Prince William are keeping a lower profile amid the summer months. Kate met with members of the Centre for Early Childhood to discuss their newly released animated films, which highlight the importance of everyday moments that shape a child's life. Vicki Turner and Owen Gildersleeve, the film's illustrators, were also present. "Early childhood has been recognized as the golden opportunity to build strong foundations for future life health and happiness,' said in a statement on Tuesday, August 5, as the seven short films were released. "The new animated films from The Centre of Early Childhood showcase how adults can create nurturing, loving interactions with children, helping to foster social and emotional development during their earliest years.' She added, "These core social and emotional skills are essential in forming healthy relationships and are fundamental building blocks that can carry us through life.' Kate noted that she hopes the videos 'raise the awareness of, and celebrate, the extraordinary value of everyday moments of connection,' which are important in today's world. Princess Kate Is Sophisticated and Stylish in Classy Forest Green Suit "Early childhood offers a sacred opportunity to transform our societies for the better and by nurturing these skills in our babies and children, we will be raising a younger generation better equipped to face the future,' her statement concluded. Kate's outings have been few and far between this year as she slowly returns to her royal duties following a cancer battle last year. (Kate was diagnosed with an undisclosed type of cancer in February 2024 and announced this past January that she's in remission.) Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine, explained that Kate's return to the public is happening 'on her own terms,' during a June interview with Hello! Magazine. 'Her priorities have changed, and she's listening to her body, instead of being a people pleaser,' Seward said. 'She's absolutely got to be strict with herself and say, 'No, I can't do this.''

Jermaine Jenas claims BBC ‘took away my life' after sacking over inappropriate texts
Jermaine Jenas has claimed the BBC was able to 'take my life away' after his sacking over alleged unsolicited, inappropriate text messages he sent female colleagues at the broadcaster. Jenas was sacked in August 2024 over allegations that he sent explicit texts to two female BBC employees. At the time of the scandal Jenas said, 'I am not happy about it. I'll have to let the lawyers deal with it. There are two sides to every story,' before he eventually admitted that he had behaved 'inappropriately' and 'made a mistake'. The 42-year-old had formerly been part of the presenting team on Match of the Day and The One Show. Speaking on the Reece Mennie podcast, the former Tottenham player said, 'Having worked in the media for the last ten years, and having been through what I've been through for the last year, been a really difficult moment for myself and my family what happened which I have always held up my hand and taken full responsibility for, that's very important to do. 'You go through a lot of different emotions of anger and blame, but eventually you realise: 'Take responsibility, Jermaine, and you'll be able to move forward.' 'Because of their ability to take away my life, in terms of every deal I had, the jobs that I had at that particular time, I said that is never happening to me again, so I've recently set up my own production company.' He added that while working for the BBC 'there are so many walls in terms of what they want you to do and what you're not allowed to do. Betting companies want to work with me because I'm in football; BBC hate that because of the issues to do with gambling in general, so they block all of that. 'So there were a lot of blocks on one side and football was bringing me some stuff, but the reality is that it all got wiped out. It all got taken away.' Jenas split from his wife of 16 years, Ellie Penfold, in the wake of the scandal. The couple have three children together.
