I would take that every year then Or..... make CL group stages, then drop out into EL, then go to EL final.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo79 13,541 Posted May 28, 2022 Author Share Posted May 28, 2022 (edited) Bit of a late post on this but I was disappointed we chose to wear all blue in the final and wanted to see us in our traditional home shirt, shorts and socks. Not sure if UEFA would've allowed the white shorts but the black and red socks would definitely have been okay. Playing in all blue against a team in white didn't do us much good in 2008. Hopefully we ditch the all blue from now on. 🟦⬜🟥⬛ Edited May 28, 2022 by Gonzo79 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it was my TV but it looked a total different shade of blue from earlier in the year (see pics). Not too impressed with Castore and from what I've seen of our strips for next season, that's not going to change. They've rather imaginatively come up with another all black strip as our away top. 2 seasons ago it was all black with orange trim, last season it was all black with red trim, next season it's all black with blue trim. And don't get me started on that orange training top that passes as a 3rd kit. Edited May 28, 2022 by BlackSocksRedTops 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo79 13,541 Posted May 28, 2022 Author Share Posted May 28, 2022 I'd prefer us to have a white away shirt and a red third top. Black shirts are for referees. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMc 2,463 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 UEFA and FIFA prefer teams to wear all one colour where possible and for one to be in 'light' and the other to be in 'dark' colours. You're seeing it more and more in international football these days as well. There's some science behind it where they've proved it's easier for officials and spectators to distinguish if a team is in all one colour apparently. The dark/light colours is connected to colour blindness believe it or not. Apparently 1 in 12 men are colour blind (I'd no idea it was that common), and so if a team is in all red and another in all blue for example a person with colour blindness can't tell them apart. So Frankfurt decided to play in all white and us in all blue giving the light/dark contrast. I only read about this recently, that's the only reason I know. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
