Choose the New Third Kit for Next Season

[JulenBeer]

The bigger question is - was this discussed around the dinner table?

You know full well that would spoil the surprise, Max!

As an aside, I can’t understand why we don’t adopt the Brazil gold and blue as an away kit.

Never going to be an issue when our first kit clashes, and has a nod to history. History any other club would love to have.

Iirc we wore such a strip away to Liverpool in 1981 League Cup tie first leg.

Are you sure? I thought we had an all green Adidas away strip back then.

I don't actually see the point of the white kit. We wear red and white stripes. The whole point of a change strip is because the opposition have a colour clash, ie red and/or white in our case, which tenders the white strip with copious amounts of red trim pointless.

You'd think so, but if you watched the recent Chelsea v Leicester FA Cup game both sides wore [slightly] different shades of blue. Absolute madness.

Hosts Chelsea wore their usual blue colours, while the Foxes sported their away black kit which includes a big sky blue stripe at the front.

Hmm.

One black and one blue.
Plain versus sash patterning.
The sky blue sash is much lighter than the Chelsea blue.
Black socks v white socks.

I get the feeling it's another 'people are fuming' story from the mail after pulling a handful of tweets off the net.

Just my take.

The radio commentators mentioned it before kick off and weren’t happy at all but when I watched the highlights the ‘clash’ was nothing like as bad as I was expecting. Lack of contrast might be an issue for the colour-blind though?

The all-green was worn away to Liverpool in the 1979/80 League Cup 4th Round tie.

We played them over two legs in the 2nd Round in 1981/82 and got an 11-0 aggregate chasing. We wore the yellow and blue away kit to the away leg (which I went to).

The club produced an away scarf that had a yellow and blue chequered border with a yellow broad band in the middle, with a red "Exeter City" written down the middle. I bought it specially for the match, and used to have it until I sold it on for a few quid on eBay a while ago.

I take the colour blindness reasoning to a point.
The most common colour blindness is red/green.
For those with blue colour blindness - and often this causes a confusion between blues and yellows - one shirt had a big sash across it and the socks were black / white opposites.

thats what I thought

I got an idea use the white one for the away kit and scrap the grey one (looks like pyjamas anyway) and then have the horrid black one as a third strip to please everyone!
