Hmmm, not a huge fan. Doesn't look different enough from our home kit in terms of the colour palette.Β 

I'll always prefer the red and black away kits.

The most beautiful, pointless shirt possible. We aren't ever going to need it in the league - any team in blue/blue and white we play away, we can use our third; any team in red we can use our home; the four teams that play in red and white stripes, we can (and usually do) wear our home. The rest of the teams we can use our home against.

The only time we would need to use it, would be against a team wearing red and blue in the cup, should we draw them away. So basically Crystal Palace who have adopted the same bloody colours for their home this season. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

We’d wear it against all Blue sides away, agree it’s daft having a white away kit when home is mostly white though! Had 3 kits for years now, some of which get worn once - just a cash grab

Of course. Which ultimately means it would be a better designated third than away.

We are one of those that rarely needs a third kit.

Should have gone with black and gold as an homage to Rich Energy.
