    I actually like it. I know some people will say it HAS to be either black, white, blue or a 'normal' red... but I think it looks good

    The problem the club have is that it has to be marketable as well as looking good on the pitch. When we have such a garish home kit, any marketing team will prefer a more toned down away kit. Something that you can see people walking around the high street in as not everyone will want to wear such a bright shirt all the time. We've had a couple of different shades of blue... so why not red!

    Another on TV;

    The Football League ‏@football_league 1m
    TV SELECTION: Watford v Nottingham Forest has been selected for live coverage by @SkySports on Sun 25 Aug (1:15pm KO) #TVgame

    Might be able to make this now as away that weekend so might be able to swing by Watford on the way back!

    What do those symbols in the sponsors logo mean on the away shirt? And is purple a lucky colour?

    A new food sensation is sweeping America--it is called the "Cronut" and is shortly to be launched in the UK. They will be sponsoring the Championship play-offs as a way of building brand recognition. Look it up if you don't believe me.

    I'm liking the new away top. In fact i would be more likely to wear the away top than the home one. I think the lack of red on the home kit lets it down.

    I still do not understand why people want red on the shirt. Before Graham Taylor had red added to the shirt again 1976 Watford had red only before 1909.

    Possibly because Hornets have 'red' bodies and legs and wasps have predominantly black bodies. Not to be confused with the abdomen which is generally yellow and black for both orders.

    Please can someone clarify who decided we should have red in our kit if we had it for the 76-77 season as GT wasn't appointed until after that season.

    Red came in 1976, along with going from gold to yellow... same year as Elton coming in - Taylor was the following year

    Suggestions seem to be that red was introduced simply from the shirt manufacturer - Umbro. I believe it was red shorts that were introduced by Taylor.

    NZ, unless the list has changed since I looked yesterday, there is a certain GZ on there.

    I'm confused now (nothing new there, then). The list I saw gave the odds on GZ being manager at the end of the season. He wasn't on the list of potential future managers.
