RedM Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 At a guess I'd say West Brom's kitman wasn't as efficient as our Scotty or it was superstition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS4 on Tour... Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 I know we wore all red way back and that inspired Bill Shankly to change Liverpool's kit to all red, but for me we should always be red shirt, white shorts, red socks at home and white shirts, black shorts, black socks away from home...

Lrrr Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 As said more than likely West Brom bringing red shorts or just a case of not clashing the white shorts with the white in West Brom's shirts as West Brom's away shirts are red so not like they could wear their away kit.

Lack of Action Man Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Never like us all in red. Much prefer white shorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 I never liked the white socks. Agree with @BS4 on Tour... re white black black for away kit. Reminds me of Gow! Purple and lime us ok for memories of Anfield, the new black kit is ok as a fashion item for Joe, but it ain't Gow, Ritchie, Merrick and Cheesely v Arsenal is it1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the historical football kits, being very fussy, I think we had the first all red kit. from 1966-69 without a badge. Just a very small white label which doesn't count. Technically Liverpool have never had a full red kit. They have always had some other colour in their kit as far as I can see. http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Bristol_City/Bristol_City.htm http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Liverpool/Liverpool.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the quality, and this is (whisper it ) about 65/66 , so you may not be a million miles away. I was so excited they let me have the shorts to wear a few days before I got the full kit.

ashton_fan Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 That's the first time ever I've seen us change our normal home strip at Ashton Gate. What should have happened was that we should have lent WBA our black or green shorts, they would have looked a bit stupid but that would have been their problem. I remember City were in the same situation years ago in the AD days, we were away to Blackpool and our away strip was all white, but Blackpool had white socks so we had to change, the one and only time I've seen City in tangerine socks.

At the time the club said it wanted to switch to all red, to be like Liverpool. As you say, the difference was City's kit had no white trim. The result? The worse kit I've seen City play in. The shade of red didn't help. It was a bright fluorescent pillar box red that needed sun glasses to look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midlands Robin Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 I've always remembered that Woolworths in the seventies did a complete footy kit (shirts, socks, shorts) in a green box with a list of the teams who had a similar strip. Anyone else remember this or am I going mad? And before you say it, I'm not getting confused with boxes of Subbuteo players, I think the kit was along the same idea.
