All guess work on my part, but I'm assuming a bit part of the colour clash is the socks and shorts as the ref needs to see the difference when looking down at the ball. I don't think UEFA allow teams to name anything other than the 1 home 1 away shirt, shorts and socks, so probably instead of wearing red shirt with grey shorts and socks, they just wore the full grey kit.

Doesn't help that England (and Russia on Monday) are classed as the home teams so I think they get priority

Our kit today looks very similar to one that Swansea wear, Coleman connection maybe?

That's what I would like to know I applied through the right channels and I didn't get a sniff of a ticket unless other fans who applied sold there tickets to them mainly the neutral stands

Only thing I can think of, and its not a great thinking and could easily be wrong but its the best a group of us can come up with, is that UEFA might not allow slight variation on kits as in second pair of shorts for home kits, and want teams to change kits in euro finals if there is a clash?
