Southampton have released the first part of a cartoon series as part of their upcoming kit launch ahead of the new season.
The mini-series depicts Saints quartet of Ryan Bertrand, Fraser Forster, Manolo Gabbiadini and Maya Yoshida as superheroes tasked with retrieving the strips after they were stolen by an as-yet unnamed foe.
Inevitably, the fans were very much divided on whether or not the cartoon had been a wise call.

Just announce the kit lads. This is a football club, not a children's TV program

@chriswragg If football doesn't work out at least you'll have a decent Saturday morning cartoon. Sell toys, along with your best players.
