True, and so did West Brom and Southampton. Your point about away kits is right enough, but you can't really count that as stripes winning the League. I can't imagine either Citeh or United being inspired by calls of 'Come on you stripes'!
But not in England!
It may be only a coincidence - but as a binary choice (stripes or no stripes) 70 years plus is one hell of a coincidence! Has anyone in stripes succeeded since Huddersfield Town, nearly a hundred years ago?
Like when we brought in the all-blue Chelsea kit - to make us play like Chelsea? The trouble is, it worked - Chelsea were in the 2nd. division at the time, where we quickly joined them after the Cup Final!
Celtic in the green did rather well in Europe at one time (and tbf, they've been rather successful in their own league) -nand I reckon if that Celtic team from 1967 to 1970ish had been in the English 1st.division they wouldn't have been far off winning it, either.
The problem is really with...
I know all this crap about away kits is about money (at least half the time they're not justified by a colour clash) but the green kit is awful. As for being a money-earner for the club, I really do wonder just how many (or should I say, how few) of the damn things have been sold
