Indeed. Only 1 league loss ( Rotherham ).

I maybe mistaken as I've tried to forget that game but I thought we wore blue and white that night?

A Nike XL seems to be the equivalent of an Errea XXXL ( or I've lost a lot weight..

I was told the same by the man in the shop that a Nike 2xl is the same as most other 3xl but I bought one and it was too small so gave it to one of my sons.

Yellow does not suit my skin colour according to my colour consultant so I shall be wearing the traditional blue and white on Saturday.

Hang on, isn't that 'volt' away kit more of a lime green - and not actually yellow?

I'd call it highlighter yellow

Not Ugly, but it's been a while since I really liked the look of our 2nd kit. There was that Orange kit last season but we obviously don't mention last season.

I did however love the green & black kit we wore the season we moved to the Amex

I think it's because the stripes are our home kit and we are playing away from home so we wear the away kit.

Hope that helps.

Ah, but it goes deeper than that. Our club colours are blue and white stripes and in my opinion we should wear them for ALL games except when there is a colour clash. Why would supporters want their team to wear a different colour strip for away games and one that changes season to season? I identify my team as the one wearing blue and white stripes.

None of which is true, incidentally. Unlike most British people who don't dare to complain or criticise, I'm one of those who complains when there is something to complain about, praises when praise is due, and criticises when there is reason to do so.

Sales of kit and merchandise brought in about £1.2 million last season, approximately 5% of total income for the club.

The reason why the Nike sales were lower than the previous season (with Errea) was that we were frankly, pants, and fewer people wanted to be seen in town in the stripes with 'Colunga', 'O'Grady' or 'Agustien' on their backs, or rifling through the bins outside Bargain Booze with a Paddy McCourt training top in hand for that authentic feel.

The success or otherwise on the park does have a correlation with merchandise sales.

Nothing to do with Nike being shit then?

I'm going to wear the nice yellow away kit from last season. Or the season before. I forget.

That Volt monstrosity can sod off.

We've had some great yellow away kits over the years, whilst I don't mind the current one, I think others have merits too.

Who remembers 'Wear yellow for Rotherham' anyone?

But not so nice the time we wore it with red shorts at Port Vale, grim.

Is that the one from early days at Withdean?
That was the last shirt I bought because I think there is nothing worse than an overweight over 50 year old wearying a replica shirt.

Except right now, of course, where you are criticising when there is absolutely NO reason to. Our home shirt is blue and WHITE. MK Dons home shirt is WHITE. How is this decision a. surprising? b. unusual? c. avoidable? d. worth whining about?
