Awful sludge colour also used to deter people buying cancer sticks.

On the plus side if you need to wipe a big greeny from your nose ... :sick:

Post #5 has to be the answer, there is no other reason.

not sure how it enhances the shirt brand though, other than being "bit different". at more than a dozen yards the stripes are indistinguishable and the sleeves look like a pastel shade. if thats the idea, to introduce new shades, why not just use pastels.

No it'll be a BS reason for selling sleeve sponsorship logos.

"The stripe pattern on the sleeve when looked at through 4G, hi-def, TV's will make your logo pop out from the screen".

'That'll be £50,000 and a big bag of Columbian marching powder, you're welcome'.

The alternative kit is so bad it's not even on the Chinese sites selling snide gear yet.

Still looks rubbish. I thought at the time it looks like the kind of amateur kit a team of relegation no-hopers might wear. Might seem an odd thing to say, but I can't see us ever playing well wearing it.

I did a little Photoshop of how I'd have preferred it.

Smashing. Now can you photoshop in the faces of Messi and Ronaldo?

(I actually prefer what we have. I'm wearing the away shirt as I type. In my views the sleeves are Flair, and look 'old gold' if you squint. That's greeny brown.)
