Invert the stripes, that'd be a winner
Southampton have a slightly altered home kit, for away use as a 'third' kit:

Possible then, I'd have that as second kit (our colours obviously) with blue or white shorts/socks depending on the oppo.

mmm yes indeedy, they played in that 2nd kit at the Amex in the Carabao cup this season.

Why not just go the whole hog, and utilise the Pride colours for our second kit?
To much scope for clashes with opponents' kits.
Red and yellow stripes are unusual (not as unusual as red and yellow hoops, but I don't want to offend [MENTION=88]Bob![/MENTION]), and sufficient. As an away kit is necessary, sufficient and necessary means it has to be this. Or something else, of course.

Great decision. No one should ever, and I mean ever, play in green....ghastly colour on a fitba shirt!

I think it actually looks really smart like this

So are our players looking down from above when trying to spot teammates? - pic below shows that the shirt is more likely to have the crowd as the background, not the pitch

The shirts were changed as they had trouble picking each other out (as the excuse went) because they were blending into the crowd, making it hard to spot each other.
Surely it goes to show that it isn't the pitch isn't the background for players looking out for teammates (as surely grey shirts on a green background would have been fine) and in the Man U incident, it was the grey Southampton fans that were the problem.
If picking out green is hard to do for teammates, surely it works the other way too?, it makes it harder for the opposition to spot you and therefore you are more likely to be able to break away from an unnoticed position, giving you more space if they haven't spotted you and positioned themselves to cover you in the event the ball headed our way.
Red / green colour blindness perhaps? (it's estimated 8% of men suffer from this type of colour blindness and 0.5% of women)

That's the worst proposed away kit I've seen yet - although the boots are okay.

The women's team played in green shirt, black shorts and green socks which looked pretty smart I thought

Fairly sure we will be back in green on Saturday if we don't wear the stripes. When we have back to back away games within a few days, we usually wear one colour for the first game and the other for the second. Makes it easier for the kit man to prepare rather than have to rush around the day after an away game.
