Away team in red

[1973Blade]

Was that the first time an away team played in red at Bramall Lane? It seemed wrong, I don't approve!

It seemed very odd to be playing against a team in red at the Lane.

Tyler is going to be very VERY cross with you!

 

[Tyler Durden]

And this is why we should have an entirely red shirt next season, so that this never happens again

I've calmed down now. A few breathing excercises and a cup of tea have sorted me out

But hey, you can never have too many eh?

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Those Coventry Nike red shirts are pretty smart as well..

There have been too many threads on the same subject and I am finding it hard to keep up with the posts in here

I agree, hence my high quality sarcasm!

I remember west brom playing in an all red kit in the sixties 65 or so

Against us at BDTBL?

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Then we would be called Barnsley FFS

RED AND WHITE BLOODY STRIPES 70mm evenly spaced

 

[Worksop II]

I just assumed Coventry were playing in Red because like us, we have cocks that like the White shirt

They have cocks that like the Red shirt, I dont know who lets em out, probably low staffing levels at the weekend

I'm taking it you like things "just so" B56?

 

[Eskimo]

The sooner we get rid of that shit awful white home shirt the better. United play in red and white stripes and the opposition in some other colour, not red.

A place for everything and everything in its place sj

I want to see hoops or quarters next season. Just to see everyone go into meltdown on here.

 

[JonnyRed(WCFC)]

Even playing Subbutteo it would look weird!

 

[Patrick Suffaux]

Who cares it's a kit. If they start playing well and winning regularly they can play in yellow and pink stripes for all I care.

Really?
Bizarre.....

Aha! Casepoint...Athletic Bilbao around 2007/8....ditched their trademark red and white stripes when some arty farty designer claiming to be a distant relative of Picasso came up with this tasty dish to wear...

It looks like he's been shot.

Barcelona have gone for hoops. It's the way forruds.

My first thought was they'd done it deliberately, to be provocative.

(The teams also swapped ends. Wonder if they won the toss.)

Exactly what I'd have done in their position. Rub our noses in it.
Well remember the documentary Sky did on Warnock. Starts off with him talking to fans in pre-season (Matlock I believe) and him bemoaning our change to red shorts for that season (2003/04 I think) and how this would be "unlucky" for us. Lot's of people, in and around the game, are superstitious about such things. We went from finishing 3rd to 8th that season.
Worth noting both Sheffield clubs went down to Div3 for the first time in their history having ditched stripes.

(The teams also swapped ends. Wonder if they won the toss.)

The game was that forgettable I can't even remember who kicked off.
However, my one experience of being at the toss (when I was working for the company who sponsored the match ball and I lugged it out to the center circle) was a sobering experience as I thought there would be some tactical thought process behind the selecting of ends. Ha, not a bit of it.
Palace captain on winning the toss "Not bothered. Curly, which way do you fancy?". Keith Curle "We'll stick as we are then". And that was that. No testing the wind, seeing if the sun was shining into the Goalies eyes at the kop end, no making us kick to our unfavoured end first. Bit of an anti climax really.

I'd really like to see this next season, just to wind up the Broad Stripes Hissy Fit Brigade.

actually...maybe at the time everyone was thinking 'what the hell is this clusterf**k of a shirt all about?' but it seems cool now...make the sleeves less baggy and have it a bit of a better tailored fit and it would look smart!!

The design of it was meant to resemble blood flow if I recall correctly.

It'd probably be more accepted these days. All sorts of crazy designs are eventually accepted if they're for a reason.
Here on the other hand, you only have to switch to pinstripes for a one-off shirt for a season and it's a hanging offence!
