Will the blue shirt be used?

Tue Jul 30, 2013 5:51 pm

The kits mix and match and both have red trim on the shorts. The decor is the same allowing the design to look professional even when mix and matching the kits.

I think the blue shorts will be put with the yellow top to avoid the change kit rule of a maximum of 8 games. Without doing this then the Southampton, Sunderland and Stoke games throw up problems. Yellow would have already been used 8 times and we cant wear red as they have red at home thus forcing blue to be used.

The introduction of an alternative blue kit not only makes some fans happy but it is clever as it allows the blue shorts to be used with the yellow top to create a new kit that gets around this problem.

Theres no rules stating that a kit has to be worn even once. At all 19 home games we will wear red. I think most accept that and against most away teams when we get the chance we will wear red.

Arsenal - yellow
Villa - yellow
Chelsea - red
Palace - yellow
Everton - red
Fulham - red
Hull City - yellow
Liverpool - yellow
Man City - yellow
Man Utd - yellow
Newcastle - red
Norwich - red
Southampton - yellow/blue shorts
Stoke City - yellow/blue shorts
Sunderland - yellow/blue shorts
Swansea - red
Spurs - red
WBA - red
WHU - yellow

Worst case scenario

Red - 27 games
Yellow - 8 games
Yellow/Blue - 3 games

Best case scenario

Red - 27 games
Yellow - 8 games
Blue - 3 games

The alternative kit choices don't exceed the maximum of 8 rule either meaning its fine as long as its submitted to the Premier League within the allotted time.

Anyone else think its one hell of a coincidence that the designs and trim colour are exactly the same on both alternative kits?

Very rarely. Less often than the season just gone IMO.

Why can't you wear red against Man City??
Blue is easier against Hull since red and yellow are closer.

You can of course. Good to point that out. Still it means the 8 game rule would have an impact.

Hull have a black stripe and dark orange home kit this year. The yellow kit we have will stand out easily against it.

Why would we wear the blue shorts with the yellow kit against saints stoke and Sunderland the yellow shorts won't clash with their red or white shorts.

You can only wear an alternate kit a maximum of 8 times.

We already wear yellow 8 times and can't wear red against these teams.

Yellow shirt with blue kit is a change of kit and therefore gets around the maximum of 8 games rule.

Red shirt/black shorts
Yellow shirt/yellow shorts
Yellow shirt/blue shorts

They're 3 different kits when put forward
