Those plain black tigers though... Not sure where people are getting these traditions from though, I'd say blue away kits are fairly common throughout our history.
I quite like it, It does look a bit like a training kit though. And I think it would have been a better England kit than their new one.
Generally it looks OK, but the blue looks a bit insipid. Though maybe I am old fashioned, but why the need for away kit, it should only be needed if there is a clash of colours. It is just another money spinner.
Since when has a clubs nickname had to make sense with what colour they play in? We are the Tigers, we play in Black and Amber. Wolves play in sonic gold, how many sonic gold wolves do you see knocking about? Come to think of it, I've never seen a blue fox, a blue and red eagle or a red and white bee, but Leicester, Palace and Brentford don't seem to mind. The more I look at it, the more I like it, but I'm interested to see what the shirt will look like with the PL numbers on.
I think there's some stupid rule where you have to (or it might be you're only allowed to) wear your away kit a certain number of times. Wonder if we'll keep the black kit as a third kit; didn't we keep the white KC one as a third kit in our inaugural PL season?
There should be a rule: no stupid gratuitous use of second strip. No use of third kit. Change of strip every 10 years.
...and the second PL season. Also, we wore a blue home shirt in the 1935-36 and 1946-47 seasons, so yes, blue is quite a relevant colour in our history.
Hmm....so that's 3 seasons then in 109 years. How many seasons have we worn white as our second strip?
