Southampton are ready to make some noise next season. The Saints are heading to the Europa League with a new coach, Claude Puel, but they are also entering a new kit contract with Under Armour.
The American sports clothing and accessories company now has three English clubs under contract: Southampton, Tottenham and Aston Villa. Not surprisingly, Saints fans were anticipating their club’s new kit for the 2016/2017 season, which was presented this week.
