Why were we wearing that god awful identikit black away kit today when there was no colour clash?
I appreciate that whatever shirts we are wearing doesn’t necessarily influence the players performance and we have won away wearing it but I can’t help thinking the blue and white hoops is a physiological boost for us and conversely has an intimidating affect on the opposition. I have just watched Warbs post match interview wherein he obviously focuses on today’s shortcomings and accept that to him the kit we are wearing is irrelevant. I don’t know who makes the decision on what kit we wear when there is no clash but I imagine the players and possibly Warbs have no say in it.
I understand that the black second strip is thought to be more saleable as casual wear but I live just off the Shepherds Bush Road and in recent times have been pleased to see kids and younger adults wearing the hoops whilst out and about in contrast to the usual Chelsea, Liverpool, Manure trend.
Apologies if this is pedantic nonsense; I have had a couple of Leffes’ and a bottle of red this evening to drown my sorrows.
I'm a traditionalist and a believer that your first choice kit (or at least the shirt) should be worn whenever there is no clash.
I hate this modern idea that kit suppliers usually force on clubs (presumably as a stipulation of their sponsorship) whereby a change kit has to be worn a certain number of times a season.
