Nasty clashing blues. What on earth drove them to this?

To make it a bit harder for those cheeky chaps in the Far East to make fake kits to sell on the cheap. Anyone who has been to Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, etc will know the scale if the problem. I think the shoulders look lighter blue but actually it's a mix of fine blue and white which from a distance looks light blue. It's this lighter blue section that will be harder to copy.

Hmmmm, If there was a one or two blue hoops at the top of the socks I think it would work better. In fact why not blue and white hooped socks? That would be cool, like these https://www.fruugo.co.uk/stanno-ori...SfSMDdejGX1V-VppgHpQEXJZpfJlT2_WOkaArpb8P8HAQ

or these

Is it really that important whether we wear blue and white hooped socks, or just plain white?

Frankly if it meant winning football matches I'd be happy for the players to wear no socks at all.

Can't believe we got this far without a 'Dirk Lehmann wears white socks' comment.

I am a WINNER!

I still can't get my head round why two different shades of blue the stripes and arms don't friggin match.....

Christ on a bike OCD

It is the same colour, just the arms are pin striped. Makes no odds with how it looks I know, but maybe that will ease your mental wellbeing.

Tottenham's new kit is also by Nike so we're not the only ones. Theirs is quite good, actually.
