Maybe they might just use it as such? As an alternative only when there's a colour clash - and play in the 'home' strip as often as possible, which would be nice. After all, they did this at the back end of last season. Have the club said anything like this at all? (sorry if there's something already elsewhere about this, I don't follow things quite so closely in the summer!)
To counter that, taking UEFA's top ten rankings, I think only four of them play in red.
40%, how many in blue?
