Away teams wearing their away kit when they don't need to...

[Giraffe]

Forgive me if I am wrong but blue and white does not clash with yellow and green. So why did Norwich wear their away kit?

I know lots of teams do this including us but it does devalue the vista a little for me. I like to see teams in their traditional kits where possible.

As a small additional point their goalkeeper wore blue shorts and a grey/white kit. The football worlds gone mad.

For what it's worth I'd rather see Norwich play in their distinctive yellow and green. I know where you're coming from with these unnecessary away kits

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Totally agree.

And surely the dumbest of dumb songs has to be 'Yellows'. Always sounds naff but especially so when there are no yellows on the pitch.

Away goal keeper in blue shorts is wrong, that's why we did not score, we kept passing to him instead of shooting

Least we won't have this problem Monday.

Most annoying. Norwich have nice home kits usually. It irritated me to see them in that crappy black & burgundy number today.

There are probably only 2 away games when they have to wear their away strip so if they don't wear it they won't sell many.

They used to be called change kits but havent they now been renamed home and away kit and worn away irrespective.

Fans wouldn't buy the away strip replica shirts which also has a knock on effect as the design wouldn't have to be changed every other season.

Sadly, I think this is the correct answer.

Also in some kit deals the manufacturer sometimes state that the away kit has to be worn X amount of times during the season.

As for the Norwich keepers kit today me and my mate said that you could easily see a clash of colours from a distance if there was a bundle in the box. Plus he thought their keeper shouldn't be wearing blue shorts as we were. I explained that you only have to change shirts and socks at the end of the day if they clash.

....it's a worry

Agree 100%. I HATE this away kit nonsense.

It's another example of business before football and we wore red and black stripes at Norwich, when I want us to be in blue and white when possible.

Why do you say that? we'll probably wear our orange kit!

Ref and assistants wore green.

100% for me too. Perhaps away strips should only be allowed if the referee rules there is a colour clash. Yeh, I know that'll never happen (as someone has already said, "£££££££") but I'll go on hating unnecessary away strips to my dying day.

Ruddy's kit looked like an advert for Colour Catchers
