brizzlelou Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Sorry to drag IT back up again but I really do prefer this new kit with red shorts. I hated the entire kit to start with but I did warm to it quickly (few good results probably helped). Just really prefer it in all red. Just wanted to gauge other people's thoughts now we've seen the mixtures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 We play in white shorts unless forced into a change due to colour clash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinmabbuttshair Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Liverpool play in all red not Bristol city. Red tops, white shorts, red socks. White tops, black shorts, black or white socks. Never change the kit again. The bore change every year stops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never really got this argument. Could just as easily say, Nottingham Forest play in red shirts, white shorts and red socks so therefore we can't. We've played in various combinations of red, white and black over the years - no one combination is more 'Bristol City' than any other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leveller Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 I think this is about historical context. When I started watching City (1968) we played in all red, so I'm OK with it. I may be wrong but I think the "one colour" fashion only started in the 1960s and that Liverpool and Chelsea played in white shorts before that. Certainly Revie put Leeds in all white (copying Real Madrid) about then. So all the "we are red and white, Liverpool are all red" stuff is a bit inaccurate and based on what younger people are used to. Ready to be corrected, as I'm too lazy to check!

Ivorguy Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 When you are as old as I am even blue is City's colour. The colour we wore in our greatest game ever (to date) FA Cup Final. True Man U were in red that day. Perhaps we would have won if we had played in red. Remember those blue shirts well!!! Well, at least I think I do !!!

Yes, judging from the excellent historical football kits website (link below) a number of clubs including City, the fewers, Charlton, Coventry, Middlesbrough and even Wolves adopted one colour kits in the 1960s that were much plainer than the big collars, large badges and hooped socks that characterised kits in the 1950s. Sheffield Wednesday's current kit is based on the 1960s version when they briefly abandoned stripes for a plainer look. Leveller - I remember my dad mentioning the thing about clubs imitating Real Madrid. Leeds used to play in various combinations of blue, yellow and white until the 1960s.

In the mid 60's virtually EVERY club changed to one colour kits. I remember in the adverts in Soccer Star it was called "self" for some reason .

Leeds have always kept the white yellow and blue in their scarves, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I intend taking it to the grave with me. Sorry to disagree, but for me we will always be all red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
