The blue and white stripes

[BBassic]

Wouldn't say no to this.

I would.

 

[Bob!]

Keep

 

[Bob!]

Stripes are too narrow. Should be broader.

Then go and support WBA then.

Please!

If people want to wear the shirt to pubs on holiday down the park etc I've always thought an all blue shirt would look better than the stripes , other than a football kit would you wear a stripey blue & White tshirt to the pub people would wanna sit on you thinking you were a deck chair

 

[bn1&bn3 Albion]

If we get promoted I really couldn't care what it looked like as long as we stay blue & white.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

I would say keep the Stripes.

BUT when did the stripes come in? We were not in stripes in the late 60's

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Wouldn't say no to this.

That's got stripes - albeit very thin ones

Well observed.

Lose the stripes, replace with hoops.

 

[upthealbion1970]

Keep the stripes and have those nice stripe short back and go the full hog with stripes on the socks.

Just think of the physiological effect of height it would have on the opposition.


And spike there hair maybe Bruno and Adam may have issues thou!

Stripes are the only thing left of the old Albion of my youth. No ground, no personnel. Just a few contemporary supporters, the history and the stripes..

Stripes don't breed success in England.

Last league winners to wear striped shirts: Sunderland 1936.
Last league winners to wear blue and white stripes: Sheffield Wednesday 1930.

Red shirts, the more solid the better, are statistically the most successful.

 

[Mutts Nuts]

IF we get promoted, would you prefer to keep the stripes, or (virtualy) lose them, like we did last time we got to the top level?
For me, it was a bit of a disappointment to lose them last time and I'd like to keep them next time.
I would post a poll, but don't know how. Suggest 3 options: Keep, lose, don't care.

Keep the stripes, the 80`s kit with pinstripes was shit

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

All white

Twice in my memory we've worn all white. Both times we were shite and changed back to stripes the following season.

Let's see how Southampton get on then. The red = success thing only holds water in England because Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal wear red. It didn't help Aberdeen in Scotland after old purple nose left, while Barcelona haven't done too badly in stripes, and nor have AC Milan or Inter. I'm struggling to name a successful Spanish or Italian club side that wears solid red. bayern Munich usually wear red these days, but they've also sported stripes in the past. And internationally, teams in stripes have won the World Cup twice (Argentina 1978, 1986) but only one winning team has worn red in the WC final (England 1966 - Spain wore their change kit in 2010).

Keep the stripes.

We wore all white in Oct 2005 at Selhurst and did ok in that game I seem to remember.

Wouldn't say no to this.

I REALLY like this. But, I'm still in the "keep the stripes" camp
