richwwtk Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Has anyone blamed the red shorts for Saturday's defeat yet? The two different reds looks awful on the highlights, should have worn the away kit or at least had shorts made for this kit rather than re-using last seasons.

lgbbcf Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 i noticed how the 2 reds didn't mach as soon as the players came out, thought they should of warn a different colour or the away kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Cant see a problem if 2 teams play in white shorts anyway - Unless you still have a black and white tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmpowell Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 They were last season's red shorts, hence the miss-match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Balls Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Don't like the all red kit, never have, and 2 different reds seems even worse. I know it dates back to the 60s but for me, when I envisage City, we play in red tops & white shorts. There is even school of thought that our poor form last season was due to playing in red shorts... Otherwise if there is a potential kit issue, play in our "away" colours. Purple & green - a classic no one else is going to match!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 I don't mind all red away from home when the other team has white shorts, although I'd rather see us in black shorts in those circumstances. I really dislike all red as our home kit and it also annoys me when we wear all red away when there is no need, like I recall us doing at Derby and another couple of times during our last spell in the Championship.

I don't disagree, but when I first went to Ashton Gate, City were wearing ALL RED, and it's my preferred choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
