Lord Snooty Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I've heard many people say and also read on here a few times that the reason for one of my pet hates (needless use of the away kit even when there is no colour clash-) is because the suppliers insist that we must wear it a certain number of times during the season. If we are now "making the kits ourselves" as has been touted, does this mean that we can rid ourselves of the needless away day changes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clud17 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Yeh we should be able to wear the blue and white stripes as much as we want...oh wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarringtonowl Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Hope so ! We should definitely play in blue and white as often as we can or blue with a little bit of white or blue with white sleeves or even blue and white stripes ! Do like this season's third kit though. Oh yes it is blue and white albeit light blue. Still much better IMO than the black and orange whoever we are playing, hopefully we can completely forget about in a few weeks. Unless of course we win with it on in the play- off final and then I'll accept it as part of our heritage ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owl 44 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 If we get to the play off finals it will be interesting to see what happens. There would be no colour clash with either Leeds or Fulham but there would be with Reading or Huddersfield. Do they throw a coin to see who gets so-called home advantage? Obviously Hull won last year because we had to wear white shorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owl 44 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I'm trying to think of other teams that have come to Hillsborough in their home kits this season. Barnsley and Newcastle spring to mind even though teams like Rotherham and Norwich had no colour clash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Agree snooty. Hate us wearing our away kit when blue is not a clash. Good point. Hope you are right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owl 44 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Wonder if we'll play in our new blue and white kit at Bramall Lane next season. .. if we don't go up of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pompeyowl Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 What would be the point of having an AWAY kit, if we didn't wear it when we played AWAY?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owls2k Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I'm guessing it is purely for commercial reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pemz Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 There is no rule that says an 'away kit' has to be worn when away from home. I'm not sure if manufacturers stipulate anything. However clubs will use away kits even when no clash for maximising exposure to the kit. If a team only wore the away kit two times all season, no one would want to buy it.

james o connor Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Fascinates me what people actually think / care about . I mean really do you actually care if we wear black and orange when playing against a team in for example red.? How would you cope with genuine life issues ?

Football isn't really is it. As I've said before though football, much of it is about memories and images that stick in your mind and the tribalism. It's illogical really that we all care so much about people booting a ball around at all! As I've said before though, I like us to beat teams in their 'proper colours'. It's just one of those odd things. Loved beating Arsenal last season. Just would have liked seeing them in their red shirts as we put them to the sword. It's the imagery , I think.

Obviously Hull won last year because we had to wear white shorts. Team who finishes higher gets the choice of kit. So we'll likely to be in black and orange. Unless we wear next seasons away kit perhaps or play the white teams as you said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you actually meant that you would immediately delete your account, and go and become a missionary in africa. Only devoting your valuable time on earth to what truly matters, and what makes a difference to others. But no. You won't do that because you're just a fat, lazy, time wasting, hypocritical failure, feeding your boredom with arbitrary inane nonsense in your own safe bubble of modern day western subsistence. A fake. A fraud. A charlatan. Just like the rest of us. Uto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torryowl Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 was called the " change kit" back in the day and only worn in a colour clash but if they market it as the" away kit" then I suppose they have to wear it whatever ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
