If we have a third kit.

I'd quite like to see a pattern created like the attached (Spotted these glasses online - Steel River Gin) and used on the strip - something distinctive and unique to us. I must admit, I liked the white strip from a few years ago.450x450.png
 
Please anything but green. Some weeks ago us colourblind people couldn't watch a match on TV because Shef Utd were in red and we wore green.
If anyone at the club is monitoring this, please note that I am still awaiting a reply to my email.

Bad Colour Combos:
  • Red v black
  • Red v green v orange
  • Bright green v yellow
  • White v pastel colours
  • Blue v deep purple/pink
Good Colour Combos
  • White v black
  • Red v yellow
  • Black v yellow
  • Blue v bright reds
  • Blue v yellow
For someone who is not colour blind it's difficult to comprehend.. the picture above was quite the eye opener!

I was told by a friend that purple just looks blue (or vice versa) the similarity between the shades is just staggering!

These are UEFAs kit regulations… covers everything from size of shirt collars to colour of sleeves and position of numbers!

Intersting. Haven't read it in full but this caught my eye:

'Players may be identified on their shirts by means of their surname and/or first name, or a UEFA-approved nickname.'

Does that mean you don't have to have players names on shirts?

You can have a nickname on there.. assuming it’s not rude or offensive.

I'm guessing it's not mandatory at UEFA level, just encouraged and there are stipulations about what the name can be if you choose to have one on.
You sometimes see nameless shirts when players have to change in to spare shirts during the match, because of damage to the original shirt, and there's only a number on the back.

Edit: See my post below, it's more complicated than that.

Ok but I mean, can you have no names at all and just identify the player by the big number on their back?

Just double checked and the Premier League rulebook specifically mentions that you have to have the player name on the shirt.

I presume the EFL is similar then.

It might be down to the individual federations on that point?

As I said elsewhere, it's just because it sells replica shirts.

A lot of young players nowadays have double-barreled names, which can take up all the 'real estate' on shirts. What about in 20 years time; there will be quadruple-barreled?
 
Oh how I long for the days when every kit was just blocks of colour and had no affectation.
I'm not against modern kits, some are very smart, but I do feel that kit designers do try overly hard to push the boundaries and lose the core identity of a team.
In my humble opinion, we should always have a red kit with a white band and a blue and black striped away kit. If any team needs a non-clashing 3rd kit then it should be all white for consistency.
 
Imagine the uproar if we end up with a shirt like that Man City one that just says the club name on the front.
