Southampton have divided fans with the launch of their new third kit, which features a neon pink colour scheme.

The Saints are attempting to “dazzle” this season, with that being the inspiration behind all three of their shirts.

The home and away kit have already been released, with the Saints keeping to the traditional red and white for their main shirt.

Southampton will return to the Premier League in a bright yellow shirt for their away games.

The new third kit is a neon pink block colour with contrasting white details being featured in the sleeves and collar.

The shirt is finished with a bright yellow badge and PUMA logo to ensure it stands out.

Southampton kit launch has provided a split reaction

Kit launches always tend to bring out passionate responses from fans, considering how long the team has to wear the shirt for.

The new Saints third-strip has left many fans overjoyed at its uniqueness, and the shirt has been labelled “beautiful.”

The yellow badges should have been white but otherwise class

Not everyone has been as positive about it though, with some fans calling it “awful,” while others hope they only wear it a couple of times this season.

Possibly the worst saints kit I have ever seen

Unfortunately for the clubs income, I can't see this one flying off the shelves!

That’s awful. Luckily, very few teams play in red and yellow!

Praying we only wear this like twice this season l

It’s definitely a marmite kit. You’ll either love it or hate it.
I saw Leeds pink away kit last season & it was hideous, but that was a washed, patterned pink I think. This is a bit more out there. 😂
That said, I think I’ll stick to the yellow top lads. #SaintsFC

Honestly the worst kit that I have ever seen in my life.
