just seen this on the official site

Meanwhile, referee Craig Pawson has deemed Albion's navy and yellow kit, with yellow shorts and socks, as too close to Leicester's all royal blue arrangement.

Albion wore the same colours against Peterborough United, Stockport County and Oldham Athletic - but first-year Football League official has deemed the kits to clash, much to Albion's chagrin.

Sounds like we will be borrowing a leicester away shirt to go with our yellow shorts and socks...

...there were at least 3 different threads BEFORE the start of the season saying it was stupid to have 3 blue kits - why copuld the club not predict this problem? We have already had to draft in a 'fourth' kit once.

Yup, seems like a mistake made there, although I can't really see how the yellow and blue kit could clash with Leciesters kit

I cannot understand why, when we travel away, we do not pack our 4th kit of white we would never have such a problem or is that too easy or does it take up too much room in the boot of the team coach to put 2 dozen extra shirts in a bag.

The players wearing numbers 2-11, how refreshing that must seem.

That is ridiculous! Whoever gave the okay to release these three kits should be kicking themselves now.

what a cock up that was - FIVE different shirts worn by our team this season, that must be some sort of football league record?

Was the white kit disallowed or was it not used because the kitman didn't put them on the coach?

I wonder if the club shop will be selling limited edition Leicester away shirts!

This story sounds like something off of Danny Baker!

EDIT: Woops - just seen your thread Scotty!

!


I would think the latter because Leicester wore all blue. As I suggested on an earlier post why not just pack the white shirts for every game it is not rocket science that somebody at some time would say the blue and yellow clashed. Silly idea in the first place having 3 kits all containing over 50% blue.
