Red and white. Blue and white. White. Only three teams in the premier League have colours besides these three. And two of those are claret and blue.
Compare this to American football. Miami dolphins turquoise and silver. Denver broncos blue and orange. La raiders silver and black. Cleveland browns brown and orange.
Why is this? Doesn't always seem to have been the way either. Looking at historical kits we had blue and black hoops and turquoise and burgundy with black shorts before switching to red. Newcastle played in red and black. The colours were slightly more varied in the Victorian era.
I'm wondering if the Americans employed professionals to pick out their colours whereas we were just red is a colour we will use that.
