Grando 260 Posted August 31, 2019 Have to say it didn’t strike me as the most contrasting pair of kits I’ve ever seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Moss 2,165 Posted August 31, 2019 I suppose now we’re out of the League Cup, contractually we’ll have to play our 3rd kit more times in the League this year. And whereas I agree that it must be harder for our quick thinking players to spot a pass out of the corner of the eye to someone in a black and grey shirt, rather than bright yellow, conversely, it is a far more elusive colour scheme for the opposition to pick up on too in similar situations against them, so I’m sure it balances itself out in the scheme of things.

Surfer 1,547 Posted August 31, 2019 I just don’t care - the marketing moron who ever allowed NCFC to enter a contract that requires us to wear any strip other than yellow and green except on the very few occasions (Watford) where there is a clash should be fired. As Webber has said, it is all about fine margins, and yellow and green is our unique and iconic brand - you should not ever willingly throw that advantage away.... grrrrrrrr! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,735 Posted September 1, 2019 I own one...theres nothing blue about it ...and it didnt seem to affect liverpool at burnley Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,722 Posted September 1, 2019 For those of you pointing out quite correctly that there is nothing blue about that kit please remember City1st has an obsession for a certain team that play in that colour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,777 Posted September 1, 2019 It isn't blue, it's dark grey, but at kick off I too thought it was a bit curious using it against a team who plays in quite a dark kit. You would've thought that it would be better served against teams like Brighton or Arsenal. Moaning about using a grey kit and implying that it impacted on performance is a bit of a Fergusonesque stretch, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellow Fever 3,747 Posted September 1, 2019 We painted the visitors changing room pink last year ... to change their mood. So yes playing in a gloomy grey by the same reasoning might give a gloomy dull team performance... as it seems it did! Banish it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Great Mass Debater 1,078 Posted September 1, 2019 I agree it didnseem odd. Your change strip shouldnt be closer to the opposition than your regular kit. Are we obliged to wear it a certain amount of times this season, like when we had the green lotus shirt? I did notice their goalkeeper was wearing yellow, but presumably thats because we werent rather than the other way around Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If not, the goalie thing would seem logical. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted September 1, 2019 calm down plod there is no anxiety, merely me posting up a light hearted thought that you come blundering into bleating about the binners....again it says much about how your obssessed mind works that my joking about the colour blue should set you off on another rant go and look at some semi naked photos of young women, it might take your mind of things Kays catalogue might help  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
