The Enormous Turnip Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Grown men caring about kit colours. Amazing really. Just made me think of this chart. Perhaps a cayenne strip with a dash of light honeydew for next season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 I don't think it's been mentioned, but when Don Review became manager of Leeds United in the early 1960s, one of the first things he did was radically change the club colours, from blue and yellow to all white, the colours of the then invincible Real Madrid. You can debate the extent to which this contributed to the creation of one of the most successful sides in English football history, but it would be a brave man who claimed it had no effect at all. I do think the strip matters: I think it expresses aspirations, and the current strip straight away said 'We're not serious about doing well in this league'. Psychology is a huge part of any sport, and the notion of being proud to pull on the jersey has at least in part a literal element to it. Also, I wonder what goes through opponents minds when they line up and see our shirts. Perhaps its "They look a bit crap, we can beat this lot". None of this is going to make a good team bad, or vice versa, but maybe, just maybe, with a better strip, we might have done better this year. On an equally controversial issue, I also believe that Alvaro Saborio's mistake was having his hair cut. Never the same player after that, which I think was something to do with how he appeared to defenders. He seemed to become smaller and less imposing, and I think defenders were more confident that they could deal with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dancing dove Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 We were doomed as soon as i saw that nasty black strip and those horrible red shorts. The board planned for relegation from day 1. its a ruse and a pretty well planned one let me tell you. And you think I am joking. I think you hit the nail on the head there mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing really.I think you've underestimated the age of users on here!The only thing I would say, I can't believe Blackthorn would be happy with how hard it is to read their sponsor on the shirtAdditionally, looking back to the start of the season, I wonder what everyone else saw to make us favourites for relegation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
