Looking at our 3 away games there is no reason why we cannot wear the home kit for all of them. Would be great for us to get the blue and white on for every game from here on in. Bring the streamers and tickertape people! :)

A good case for the stripes at Wolves maybe as the black shorts clash ?

As for the rest, hopefully you will be right.

Let's make it interesting and wear orange.


Nothing can go wrong now.

I hope everyone understands that I am not superstitious in the slightest.

What strip have we worn most when winning away? Using the Tony Bloom "Margins in statistics are everything" mantra, that surely is the strip we should wear.

I shall do my bit by continuing to eat chocolate whenever we need a goal, and sticking with my lucky blue socks.

Of course we should wear blue and white. We should always bloody well wear blue and white except at away games where there's a clash.

I agree but ours and every other club marketing departments do not and want a specified away kit and even a 3rd strip.

unfortunatley I think thats the sole reason for it, I would hazzard a guess that 75% of away games there is no clash but still the away or third kit is worn, good marketing but not necessary. I was wondering the other day, when the numbering changed from 1- 12 to the current squad numbers, bit confusing for the uninitiated hearing about a good old fashioned number 10, when the player is wearing 26!!!

I know the marketing guys want to sell more shirts and believe having multiple strips is one way to do it. However I fail to see why anyone would buy one. I saw some people wearing away shirts from a few seasons back at a recent game. No idea they were Albion shirts apart from the badge. And instead of a "sea of blue and white" the stands look like a scene from "Joseph and the Amazing Multicoloured Dreamcoat".

Blue and White is bloody Blue and White. They are our colours and should ALWAYS be worn except when there is an obvious clash. And I would like our second strip to be mostly white with a flash or two of blue here and there ... club colours.

I have wondered why we dont have just 2 kits with 1 of them being totally different to every team in the league home strip there would then not be a need for a 3rd strip the obvious is a luminous kit like the green one . David Stockdale often wears. The problem is they probably wouldnt sell very well.
