Originally, and until 1904, they played in pink shirts with a black tie, which only occurred due to the wrong shirts being sent to them, the father of one of the players made the earliest shirts, but continual washing faded the colour so much that in 1903 the club sought to replace them. Juventus asked one of their team members, Englishman John Savage, if he had any contacts in England who could supply new shirts in a colour that would better withstand the elements. He had a friend who lived in Nottingham, who being a Notts County supporter, shipped out the black and white striped shirts.

With allowed losses, I guess Division Two is a realistic goal. Beyond that it's down to how well the club grows.

Isnt their potential support greater than Nottingham Forest, so slowly climbing the leagues wouldnt endanger FFP which is virtually abandoned any way.

And don't torino then play in red to mirror County's city rivals?

How? Surely the potential support for both clubs is drawn from Nottingham and it's surrounding areas?
