You need to register three kits for European competition. Whether this is the reason why or just coincidence I've no idea. i'd go with light blue and white change kits but I reckon we'll probably need one predomnantly dark one to comply with UEFA regulations (if they're anything like FIFA's).
Premier League kits released so far, for anyone who's interested... http://aff015.infototive.com/categories/sports/premier-league-kits-201415-revealed/?page=1 Ironic that the one carrying the big Asian shirt sponsor is Swansea 'City'.
Roma made their own shirts last season due to some kind of dispute with the previous manufacturers, they made a decent job of it too!
I like the Villa home shirt and Stoke away shirt. You can't beat a shirt with a collar. I don't like the Everton shirt on the basis that a grandad style arrangement shouldn't be on a football shirt, hope ours doesn't have this, but I already fear the worst. Aside from having a thoroughly **** badge.
I like the palace home shirt to be honest. Sleek, stylish, simple and looks like it was made for pro evo. And stokes away is nice. Plus villas.
Everton's is too shiny for me. Hope ours is announced soon! Starting to drag a bit.. we're playing in something like three weeks!
