Confused!!

I would suggest our home kit as one has to be basically blind not to see a huge difference/contrast between sky blur and their shades of blue

But the new kit is being advertised as our CUP AWAY KIT, surely it could clash?

Its disgusting the amount of kits and the quality of the kits we are bringing out.

FFS this seasons they have got so lazy and made them all pract the same colour, im sick of it to be honest. I had every jersey up till last year and i didnt get any last year.

If i do get one this year it will prob be a knock off from china!

It is a fair point. At least one strip should be a complete contrast to the home strip. Not difficult really.

I think the ladies team played against Chelsea away earlier this season in last season's 3rd choice shirt but with this season's home socks and shorts.
All-in-all a bit of a bollocks up all round as we don't seem to wear our home kit away to Chelsea, Everton etc....

Well, in my mind, sky blue doesn't clash with the navy of those 3 clubs. Time will tell I guess?

I remember we played Birmingham when we had the purple LCS away kit - we wore that instead of the home kit, and I couldn't see who was who the whole game, except when a Brum player's back was to the camera, as they had white squares on the back of their shirts. Someone told me at the time that we had no choice but to wear the away, as Brum's home kit was blue-with-white, and their away was white-with-blue, both of which are determined as 'clashing' with sky blue in some rule book. This may just be hearsay, though, as I never found anything to back it up.

Nor mine as such mate but we do have a strange policy of wearing whatever our away strip is at that particular time against teams who play in blue or white. Look at the amount of times we play away to somebody like Swansea or Everton - we always play in our change strip but when they come to us they very rarely play in theirs.

It is quite bizarre!

I honestly think they do it (wear them) just so that they can justify a new away shirt every bloody season

It is probably that blindingly obvious mate!!
