Does anyone have an idea when it's coming out? As other teams with Adidas as their kit manufacturer are showing their new shirts, including away for some

Speaking of away kits, what's going on here? Which team is playing in our away kit? Which year? Did we win (we couldn't lose, thinking about it)?
No, it is Blades v Palace in Sept 1977. Ref wasnt happy with Palace's kit so they wore our away kit. The Blades players are Geoff Salmons (in front) and Mick Speight. Ian Evans is the Palace playerI reckon that is Rachid Harkook in the away kit, so we must be playing Luton at the Lane.

We lost 2-0. Highlights of the match was shown on YTV in the next day
I wonder if that's some sort of record - i.e. away team wears the second strip of their opponents AND wins.We lost 2-0. Highlights of the match was shown on YTV in the next day
Yes, Salmons was on a months loan and the Palace match was his first in his second spell for us. His last was in the 1-1 draw at Palace. I never got to see him play for us in that loan spell because I was in my 5th year at boarding school and I was expecting to see him play when I came home for the October holidays but was disappointed when Leicester signed him from StokeI was editing as you posted, SB. Realised it was Palace not Luton. Was I right about Salmons being on loan? Got a feeling this was the last game of the loan.
We wore Colchester's away kit at Layer Road in February 1982 but we lost 5-2!I wonder if that's some sort of record - i.e. away team wears the second strip of their opponents AND wins.

You see that happened back in the seventies, Referees were noted for their dress sense - they only wore black and so occasionally they would make judgements on the style of the kit and if it didn't pass muster would condemn a crap kit as happened in the Palace fixture.
This subsidiary role as 'fashion-police' has largely died out but if it hadn't, it would have been quite possible that a style-savvy ref would have stopped the Blades playing in the now derided 'forest-away kit' look that adidas® foisted on us in 2015. Looking back on it it seems hard to believe that the Emperors of the club were so easily taken in by those naughty tailors.
I was at the game after the one in the photo so I had a programme with photos of the match in it. It used to puzzle me whether or not Palace were wearing our kit or their own. The photos were black and white and didn't they have a very similar badge to ours (from a distance)? - instead of crossed swords their's had an eagle with its wings spread quite similarly.
At around this time, Palace decided they should be called the 'Eagles' instead of their traditional nickname of the 'Glaziers'. For the benefit of younger viewers they were originally owned by the Glazier family (hence the moniker) but when they bought Manchester United, the lead singer of the middle-of-the-road rock group, the Eagles bought Crystal Palace from them because he had an interest in Quartz and Amethysts and got confused.
Jim Brown was in the net for that match but Steve Conroy played in the following season's home game against Palace. We lost 2-0 again and Palace wore their own away kit this time. Imre Varadi's debut for us. Mike Elwiss and Dave Swindlehurst scored for Palace, both in the 1st half at the Kop EndThis was my first ever match. If I remember rightly Steve Conroy was in our net and their second goal was a penalty. I never realised they were in our away kit, but I was only 8 years old at the time.
UTB!
Won't be too much longer.
