spudski Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Man Utd had a black away kit 93/95 and won the premier league twice, they also had one as a 3rd kit 98-00 when they won the premier league twice, the old Sharp Viewcam one was voted the fans fave shirt. I think the colour of the shirt means nothing, it's the team in it, if Man Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal all played in Purple and Lime then this would be the most successful kit colour Of course you are right when it comes to the quality of a team fella....but stats across all teams showed those results. Man Utd wouldn't have complained about their kit colours if it didn't have an effect on their performance. What fans think of it, has no relevance in performance on the pitch. Plus companies wouldn't spend money on research if colour made no difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bad thing about stats is they don't always give the full picture, if playing red improves your chances of winning due to some mystical power of the colour red, what the hell has happened to that effect at Bristol City!

I think this has gone over a lot of peoples heads....it doesn't mean you are going to win more wearing one colour or other. The comparison was done against each colour and when each team wore that colour....a percentage comparison. Of course if the Gas wore red they wouldn't be more successful than us if we wore black. It's about using Stats as an edge and using those stats with other knowledge. If Stats weren't useful....Clubs wouldn't spend Millions on them, or employ people purely to study them.

Selred Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Hmm unsure if I'll get the new away shirt, or the home one. I haven't had a home one for a while now, but do like the new away one. Dilemma's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never bought into it all to be honest. Can't see how wearing a black kit against a crowd is any different to wearing red against a crowd of people who are (in the majority) wearing red sat on red seats with a back drop of red flags. I suppose it probably effects night/winter games more due to light? Southampton away, think United changed at half time.....but wasn't the kit they changed to the all black kit?? Makes sense though I believe they came out in the second half wearing their blue and white strips? In other news I think that our kit is really smart!

BCFC Jordan Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Both shirts are much worse than last seasons kits, but are better than most previous years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Watts Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 I may be on my own here, but I really like the socks Think the kit would look better if the main colour was white though Hopesy probably agrees with you, so although I wouldn't say you're in good company, you are at least not alone!

Phileas Fogg Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Id love for us to just release an outrageous third kit equivalent for the hell of it - lime green with purple and red stripe - red socks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Evidently a marmite kit based on these reactions, but I think it's superb. Although the "spray on" fit will suit approximately 1% of those who will buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Shirt would have been awesome if not for the stripes going all the way down the shirt. Should have stopped it at the top of the sponsor. I completely disagree. That would look odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RumRed Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Odd socks needed, one purple and one lime to match the left/right trim in shirt and shorts. May help a player remember which foot should be used to take a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChippenhamRed Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Love the kit, incredibly depressed that it wasn't unveiled by 3 new signings. Agreed. Lots of people have applauded the club for not making panic signings. With 8 days to go I'm starting to warm to the idea of a panic signing or two!

Drew Peacock Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Playing at night time I think will be a challenge. Good camouflage, we should be able to smuggle extra players on in the dark.

RedRock Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 It's my old school tie. I was thinking that too. Westbury Park Primary School in the 60's. Classic look. Clearly the Club are making an attempt to reach out to the football fans who reside(d) north of the river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
