Why did we announce the white and black as the away strip? It seems to me that we'll be wearing the purple and green more often so would have made sense for that to be the away kit and white and black to be the third. In my opinion it seems the white and black with the robin on was just for the fans. My guess is fans are more likely to buy the white shirt than the purple shirt, so announcing the purple shirt would have lost the club many sales.

Is this right? A new rule? As we and many other teams have worn shorts from away kits with home shirts before or the other way round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Does the new rule mean we cannot wear red shorts away when only the shorts colour is a clash? We surely have a stock of red shorts for such occasions like WBA for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We surely have a stock of red shorts for such occasions like WBA for example. The rule as I can find it is as follows which would seem to rule this out nowadays but as ever the wording isn’t exactly crystal clear. But as our current colours don’t include red shorts I don’t think we could. 38.1 During the Close Season, each Club shall notify The League, in writing, details of its ‘home’ and ‘away’ colours (shirts, shorts and stockings) and if applicable any third ‘alternative’ set of colours. The League shall inform all other Clubs, Referees and Assistant Referees of such details. The Home colours so registered by each Club shall be worn for all Home Matches during the next following Season and no changes either in the colours or combination of colours shall be permitted during the course of the Season. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, each Club is authorised on one occasion per Season to play a Home match in an ‘away’ or ‘alternative’ strip.

This has to be good for "brand identity"!! It’s probably unique to us at the moment but others have had similar away kits before us - eg Forest had these two for a few seasons during the 1990s: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't help that the badge on the away shorts are different to the home - they won't allow the two to be used at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When people were first talking about it I looked up the regulations and badges aren't mentioned at all that I could see. Plenty about sponsorship but that was about it. I agree that it can't be common to have two different badges, but don't think it's against the rules at all. edit - In fact, now that I think about it, the badge from the away kit on the shorts with the usual badge on the shirt wouldn't be a whole lot different to the AG logo that appears on the shirts, or the Kit manufacturers logo.

I think it’s the fact you don’t seem to be allowed to change the combination of colours, so you can’t put your away shorts with your home shirt. Seems to be what it says anyway.

Never to the dark side Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 My opinion is THAT purple kit, dazzles the opposition at floodlit games. Purple and lime every time for me on nighttime games See all you hordes at WBA on tuesday and Wigan on friday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
