Colour Blind Kit updates

[mattbianco1]

Obviously it isn't exactly the same - as you show with the side-by-side - but both shirts are red and white.

I am guessing you aren't colour blind?

I'm not, but my son and his grandad are.

The often quoted defence of "the shorts and socks are different" is really annoying - EVERYTHING should be totally different!!

 

[Wards]

I always take shorts and socks out of the colorblind equation. Base it solely on shirts as that's the predominant piece that your eyes will naturally be drawn to.

Can guarantee I would've struggled with last night's game if I was at one end and there was a crowded box at the other.

As for the new home and away shirts you can't tell me they couldn't have come up with something that entirely negates any risk? There's a whole spectrum of colours out there yet we've decided red and white is a good option. It's laughably stupid.

Do you have a problem if Leeds or Derby play in their home kits at the lane?

We wore the home kit at Swansea last year. Did that cause a problem for you?

For me, our away kit should have White with Black Trim or Yellow with red trim. How it always used to be

In that singular instance, no. It is a more general point.

In the context of this thread the new away kit release is astonishing.

Home kit = red and white stripes
Away kit = white with red stripe

WTF!!??

I think there’s a big difference to be fair. The away is predominantly white, with the home being predominantly red, black so it will be darker… luckily we don’t play against our away kit so no chance of a clash there

It’s just how they decide which kit we wear when we play sides with close colours to our kits

Remains to be seen for me and I'll have to make a decision in the flesh against other shirts, but as you say it'll be the choice of when we wear it that'll be the real deciding factor. It's just a very odd decision to use those colours.

The third kit will almost certainly need to be something dark.

Yeah I think a dark blue/ purple/ black would be fine in that case

I am dreaming of a '1989 away' style third kit

I think there's room for a 1989 inspired away/third but with more black. Something like 90s Dortmund.

Having said that, I'd be stunned if it was flouro based on the bits of info we've been given.

 

[Wards]

I was hoping for a 'remake' of the early/mid 90s emerald green shirt, loved that one. Would be a good compliment to the other two

It's Black with Gold trim

 

[MobileBlade]

The primarily white away kit is much better than when we played in green (eg Man U) as a change kit.

Sometimes I am surprised by which kits clash for me. I am watching MOTD and the Southampton v Leeds game is a tough one even though if I look at the kits independently I would have thought it would be fine.

The issue basically is that both teams are wearing light shirts with dark shorts, so in this picture…



… I am really struggling. It’s much worse when they are moving too.

What's the take on Man U's me kit, setting aside the fact it's nice to see them 4 down by not even half time!

I thought there was an understanding that green kits were off the menu aside from say Plymouth who aren't about to throw years of history out the window.

Watching on tv you'd imagine it's not far off the colour of the grass, nevermind clashing with red in the colour spectrum.

You're not alone, although in the flesh that probably wouldn't be too much of an issue for me. Seems to cause me more issues when it's on screen, probably something to do with the TV refresh rate and my eyes adjusting to it.

I liked the kit - but I thought it was yellow!!!

That's just a clash full stop.
