CITYAREREDANDWHITE Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Yes I know, our traditional colours are red and white. However, the all red kit looks much nicer in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southstandoriginal Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 We have actually had all red as our home kit quite a few times starting in the mid sixties and ending with that horrible thing with the black top on the shirts that we wore during our last relegation season.

Welcome To The Jungle Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 All red is Liverpool's thing imo. I must respectfully disagree. White shorts like we've had for our history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDOXO Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 I can confirm we have worn all red several times. My first City kit was all red except thin white rings around the cuffs! Yes I am very old! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks O.K. in the photo, but in real life it looked dire. Almost fluorescent red that needed sun glasses to look at it. (If only we had Johm Galley today!)

Aaron-Bcfc Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 I don't get why all red is "Liverpool". Surely by that logic we shouldn't have red with white shorts as it's "Arsenal" or "Man United" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just about to say that this was my one claim to fame at ashton gate as I was the basin haircut nine year old stood at the bottom of the steps leaning over the wall. I'd just arrived at the ground with my mum to collect mine and my dads season tickets and the smartly dressed commissionaire at the main entrance, they had one in those days, saluted us and told me that the players were going on the pitch in readiness for a team photo and if I was quick I might see it. That particular one was used in "The football league review" which was a national supplement that came free with the matchday programme at that time.

White shorts like we've had for our history. Well the story goes that Liverpool only changed to an all red kit when they played against us and Shankly thought our all red kit made our players look bigger and more intimidating than they actually were Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Dad told me the same thing. He attributed it to the fact Sir Stan had never seen Mike Thresher before. Getting back to all red. Real Madrid won the European Cup for the first five season. Trying to copy their success Leeds changed from their traditional Blue to all white in 1961 and some clubs who played in red & white or blue & white changed to all red (City 65-71) or all blue (Rovers 66-69).

Offside Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 I very much prefer red shirts, white shorts and red socks. I didn't really like it when we played in all red during the Wilson/Tinnion eras and that all red one with the black at the top when we were last relegated has to be my all-time least favourite City kit. Away from home when we have to wear different colour shorts I actually prefer black. For some reason I've also always disliked it when we've worn white socks at home. Favourite ones for me were the kits in the early-mid 70s even though that was before my time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Favourite kit for me was centenary season 96/97, With the white shorts and red and white hooped socks. That was one sexy kit. Nice of you to decide the discussion is over. That saves anyone the bother of joining in and giving an opinion. Jolly decent of you to save them time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The obvious ones like Garland, Galley, Gibson, Merrick, Derrick but very high regard for Parr, Bush, Sharpe, Drysdale. On the subject okit, we are red shirts and white shorts.

Was a cup game against Blackpool. Matthews was hyped up but reputations meant little to Mike Thresher. About 5 minutes in and the ball was delivered to Matthews towards the corner of what is now Dolman/Atyeo. I can still picture Thresher steaming in at full tilt and hit Matthews so hard he almost ended up in the tenth row. He didn't seem to want to play after that.
