The last team to win the 1st Division/Premier League in a 2 color shirt was....

[Tiptop24]

Just something I thought about - most successful team has one dominant home color - Man Poo, Liverpool, Arsenal - Red. Chelsea, Man City - Blue.

Who was the last English team to win the league in a striped/multi colored home shirt?

(I don't have the answer...)

Blackburn

 

[Alan Cundle]

Blackburn Rovers?

 

[Charles 'Charley' Charles]

Arsenal is red and white? Failing that Blackburn I think

 

[Charles 'Charley' Charles]

Oops beaten to it by seconds

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Arsenal - red and white.

True in England but not in many other countries: Barcelona, AC Milan, Inter, Juventus, Dortmund, Galatasaray, Fenerbahce, Porto, Ajax, Celtic ...

Equally it's often said that red is a "successful" colour but that's because Arsenal, Liverpool and the Red Filth wear it. Bayern Munich are the only consistently successful team in the Champions League who wear a plain red shirt, and in the past they have worn red and white stripes and even red and blue stripes (which will obviously never catch on). Only one team has ever won a World Cup final wearing red.

Exactly that, Arsenal, red and white shirts, and prior to them, Blackburn, blue and white. Prior to that it would be Villa in 80/81, claret and sky blue.

Spain wore a different colour then?

When is the last time a team in stripes has won the league in the top flight?

I guess the suggestion is that when England won they were wearing their away kit, hence Spain are the only side with red as their main colour to have won the WC

Sunderland, 1935?

Sunderland, 1935?

Gosh, that is a long, long time ago!

Gosh, that is a long, long time ago!

Brighton & Hove Albion, 2015

Correct. They wore their change kit in 2010. England are the only team to win a World Cup final wearing red.

I think my point was that certain designs and colours are associated with success but that's because of the teams that wear them, not the colours or designs, and even that association doesn't stand up if you look beyond English club football. For example, Argentina won two World Cup finals wearing stripes. And three of the last four Champions League finals have been won by teams wearing stripes.

I hope we never go back to pin stripes. Although a yellow with blue pin stripe AWAY kit would be fab!
