Blades in White Shorts for Semi Final?

[Fulwood Blade]

The Daily Mail today reports that both Hull City and Sunderland both wore Black shorts in the QF on Sunday - this is apparently against FA Cup rules. The ref didn't spot it and the FA have turned round instead and said the flashings were different so no problem. I bet they won't fall for it in the semi though.

Are we called as the "away" side seeing as we came out of the hat second or is all the dressing rooms/home kit/which side of ground down to a draw from a hat.

As an old (ish) Blade I would hate us to just have to swap just the shorts in order to wear the R&W shirts - have seen us relegated twice in white shorts - it's a bad omen and would rather wear all yellow as against poxy white shorts.

They should bar both teams from the competition this year and next for breaking the rules

Don't have a problem with these fellers in red shorts.

Kilts?

kilts aren't very "family friendly" when divin into a tackle

 

[TarquinDelouche]

Kilts?

Flynn's goal on Sunday would have cleared the away end.

Emphasis on the word 'tackle'

We don't have white shorts. We have Black or Red for the home kit and Yellow or Green for the away kit.

 

[Groucho Blade]

Have we ever lost at Wembley wearing red shorts?

Red shorts it is, then!

 

[sportinguista]

2004-5 season we played in red shorts at home...came 8th in the Championship (our favourite finishing position I believe)
errr...try and find an omen there...

nope, apparently no immediate issues with us wearing red shorts if needs be...though I'm sure someone on here will find one (make one up) soon enough

Or what about BLUE shorts to celebrate our 125th anniversary...in fact fuck it, let's roll out the full commemorative retro 125th year kit at Wembley!!! It'll look fine with all the facial hair on show.

 

[Lt. J Dangle]

We could both wear own away strips.

 

[Blade56]

White shorts for Blades ........... Dirty pants for me

So we wear this then

 

[Pedro Verde]

If Hull play in their Home kit we wouldnt be able to play in our away kit
So we would have to play in Red and White stripes with Red shorts (deffo not white) unless we have a black or white 3rd kit lurking in the background somewhere

Caption Competition:
