Southampton are wearing a commemorative yellow kit without names for his or her FA Cup quarter-final clash with Arsenal at St Mary’s on Saturday.
The Saints have enjoyed a powerful cup run this season, shocking Fulham within the last round to establish a last-eight clash with Premier League leaders Arsenal.
Tonda Eckert’s side have been in superb form because the German took over permanently, and at the moment are find themselves in playoff contention within the Championship.
But they may park their league ambitions this weekend as they appear to cause one other cup upset and book their spot within the tournament’s semi-finals at Wembley later this month.
Throughout their FA Cup run this season, eagle-eyed viewers would have spotted Southampton wearing a yellow kit without names on the back, as an alternative of their usual red-and-white-stripped home kit.
The kit, only worn on this competition, was released by the club to mark 50 years since Southampton won the FA Cup in 1976.
The yellow and blue shirt is a contemporary remake of the one worn in the ultimate against Manchester United, made with input from among the players from the 1976 squad.

Greg Baker, chief revenue officer on the club, previously said: ‘Our 1976 FA Cup victory stays the best achievement within the club’s history and this anniversary gives us a novel opportunity to honour the players, supporters, and traditions that outline Southampton FC.’
The brand new shirt also features the signatures of the 15 players who featured within the cup campaign, in addition to manager Lawrie McMenemy.
Front-of-Shirt Partner P&O Cruises still features on the on-pitch kit worn by players, but fans are in a position to buy the commemorative kit without the branding online.
