Huddersfield

[jobjockey]

A famous old club like Huddersfield finally
in the premiership, playing a glamour game
against Arsenal, and discarded their traditional
blue stripped shirts to play in yellow.
They may not be the team of yesteryear but
please try to look like them.
I am a wolves supporter.

That has surely got to be a commercial decision to try and increase the sales of the away kit? I'm totally against it and think that all clubs should use their first kit wherever possible. There was a glaring example of this recently. I think it was Arsenal playing away in their 2nd kit when they had no need at all. But money rules this game. The love of money. Not only rules it, but will eventually ruin it.

10Clarion St You have hit the nail on the
head tradition and loyalty have
gone, no more Lofthouse , Wrights or Armfield
are around, kiss this badge today and
another next season.

Another example of this tonight in the Everton v Watford game. Watford, normally yellow shirts, black shorts. Everton, blue shirts, white shorts. However, Watford were playing in all green. Why? There was no colour clash.

Could be wrong but I believe this was addressed some years ago when supporters clubs asked the same. I think the answer was that the kit makers(Admiral or whoever etc) have a deal whereby each change strip must be worn a certain amount of times in order to generate sales.

The love of money!

Yes it's money same as the 3rd round or the F.A.
Cup, one game on Friday, seven at 12.30 on
Saturday, five at 5.30. And then six 2 pm Sunday
and finally wolves v Liverpool Monday 7.45.
Who's worried about the supporters having to
travel?

It’s a shame about the varied kick off times but least the money generated from foreign tv goes to grassroots, the FA being a not for profit organisation.
It does take away from the competition tho.
The away strip thing is silly but can’t get too worked up about it: there have always been oddities relating to kit: the 1980 cup final for example saw both Arsenal and West Ham in their away kits - Coleraine v Ards on Saturday had the home team having to wear their away kit as the visitors’ home and away kit both clashed with the home team’s kit!

And Bolton Wanderer's players are reported
not to have been paid last month.
