RevOwl Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I know it may sound like i'm not prepared to move with the times or accept change but our forthcoming away shirt? To me Wednesday's away shirt should be yellow edged with blue. The new grey one looks okay but it doesn't scream Wednesday. Our blue & white striped home shirt and a yellow away shirt is traditionally what we're known and recognised for. It's our uniform. I know some may say the stripes etc weren't how we started out but if you ask an everyday man in the street no matter where in the country to describe Wednesday's kits both home and away and I guarantee the majority will say blue & white home and yellow away. Some on here have said for a while now that we are losing our identity well if that's the case then let's start by keeping our recognised colours to at least preserve that part. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DJMortimer Posted July 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 30, 2020 I've never really understood individual fans stridently appointing themselves as de facto arbiter of what our preferences ought to be, or even what our traditions are. After all, in our first 110 years of existence there was no yellow whatsoever. Looking at the Classic Kits site, we have only ever had 15 away shirts that had a significant amount of yellow on it. In the same period, we have had almost double that (26) that were of different colours. 20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neo hippy Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 As a fan I don't consider our away to be yellow. I doubt any other teams fans would have a clue or care. The best for me have been black 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the classic yellow away shirt that we wore all the way to Wembley in 66. That was white. The classic yellow away kit for the Blackburn semi. That was black. You are not talking about Wednesdays identity mate, its your own bias based upon when you were born. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that you're unwilling to accept change so much as you're unwilling to notice the obvious truth of the matter: yellow is just one of many different coloured away shirts we've used over the years. We've had white, grey, silver, green, orange, sky blue, and black away shirts during my time watching Wednesday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspector Lestrade Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 When I first started going or remember going, Wednesday wore the plain shirt, which I do tend to associate Wednesday with, having said that I do prefer the stripes (the confused generation). The away kit in my mind is yellow, but my big bug bear is the away team wearing their away kit when they don't clash with the home team. We all have our little foible's. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that the blue 'Arsenal' kit sticks in the mind but not the white away kit we wore till 1973. Me too. Maybe I didn't go to away games till mid 70's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apswfcowl Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I like yellow away too but am happy to have other colours for the away kits as it doesn't really matter. As long as it's not red I'm happy. Home kit must be blue and white stripes though. That is our recognised kit and we shouldn't change that. As for the away kit, at least it is not this; https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https://talksport.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2020/07/sheffield-united-20-21-home-away-kits-3.jpg?strip%3Dall%26w%3D800%26quality%3D100&imgrefurl=https://talksport.com/football/725609/sheffield-united-kits-2020-21-new-home-away-shirt-leaked/&tbnid=PJ2m9FfYK4HnMM&vet=1&docid=aHjTirQJZCxq1M&w=800&h=800&q=new+sheffield+united+kit+2020/21&hl=en-GB&source=sh/x/im Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
