    Can anyone tell why they just can´t use a white one ? No snow no problem. I´m watching the SUN v STO game & any time it´s in the air or there is a shot at goal I lose the sight of it. whinge over.

    Officially it is orange - it is just that the whole nation except the FA are colourblind, and think it is pink.

    Well, maybe except Hull fans who probably think it's amber. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    There is a slim difference. Not that it matters, but when we've been known as the 'Black and Amber Army' by our fans, Adidas's embarrassing interpretation of 'Amber' has been shocking on our last few kits. Diadora were the last Manufacturers to actually properly capture the Amber correctly.

    It's like the difference between your blue, and Manchester City's blue. Different shades, but still blue.

    In actually agree Candy, it does piss me off when 'designers' do things like that with historic team colours.

    The pink ball looks to me like an unloved plastic red fly-away that has faded in a corner shop window after years of sunlight exposure. Destined to be given away to the boys next door, even they will cast it aside because of it's "girly colour". Lonely and redundant, it will be forgotten in the annuls of time, while it's brothers of different colours will see endless action on innumerable fields and streets the world over.

    Yeah, it's ****.

    I think the history of Hull City just apparently looks good to **** with. The name and the colours have been tampered with. What next?

    Prossie becoming the top scorer in the Championship? Steve Bruce knew what he was doing.

    Found his level I think. Although I've always believed that we never really gave him a chance. We'd play him in one game, if he didn't score, he'd get dropped. There was no chance to capture form. He'd always score in the Cup mind.

    Similar with Vardy here.

    Look at him now. Players need a chance to settle, look at Drogba for instance.

    Exactly. That was the most frustrating part of the Proschwitz saga overall. Fair enough, Jay Simpson's early Season form alongside with Aluko meant Proschwitz had to wait for his chance, then we played him up top alongside Aaron McLean away at Middlesbrough, which we lost 2-0 and he was dropped.

    He was never given a proper run in the team, even when he started to show glimpses of promise (i.e. coming on as a sub and scoring a brace to beat Ipswich for example). In a way, I'm quite glad he's doing well at Barnsley.

    Adds to his transfer value at least... <laugh>
