Cazoo already sponsor both Everton & Aston Villa in the premier league, so I hope for their sake they never said anything like that, that would be awkward. Link to post Share on other sites

The best I could come up with was main sponsor = shirt sponsor for the first team. Principle sponsor means we sticking that on our kits and every bit of merchandise we have.

Seriously though I think white makes it easier to pick out players so some thought should go into what gives us an advantage. Link to post Share on other sites

Green is a bad choice for an away kit, given that we have red as our main kit. I'm not colour blind, but there isn't a lot of difference for those who are (8% of men). Man U even wore different socks against us so that people could actually tell us apart. Link to post Share on other sites
Redcar Rioja 5,870 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Our Away kit should be the traditional blue and black then we don't have to muck about with third kits. Link to post Share on other sites

If it’s only 8% and given not all of the 8% will be interested in football I wonder why there is such much effort exhorted to get clubs to adapt strips. No disrespect to persons with sight impediment intended. I personally never really liked the wide white band but that’s possibly because I thought it looked awful on well built people. I do prefer large blocks of bold colour and if it’s red, make it red that stands out. Go white away because white really stands out and screams presence. My take bold red with hints of white and reverse for the away kit perhaps? Link to post Share on other sites

There was an NFL game a while ago using "colour rush" uniforms that are essentially all one colour that ran into this problem. They put the all green New York Jets against the all red Buffalo Bills. Was an absolute nightmare for colour blind people! Link to post Share on other sites

Interestingly, it's only about 0.5% of women/female football fans. I think large blocks of the same colours probably falls foul of the same rules as the home kit. If we were playing Sunderland, for instance, which kit would we wear? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Running round and round a ring like a mouse in a wheel. It’s one reason I cannot support any England team. 🐁 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I've never understood why they never did a St George's flag shirt - white with a big red cross on the front, red shorts and red & white socks. Never understood why we have blue in our kit. Think the all-red kit was a bit too monotone. The blue away kit is just awful and the white third kit is just too bland. Just no creativity in kit design these days. 🙄 1 Link to post Share on other sites
