We had a cool kit in the 70's and it mirrored Englands kit for a very short time ... when we had Englands ' central defence nailed .. lol White top .. BLUE shorts ... white socks with bits of red ... This kit was and is cool ... and was successful ... Just wondering how DCFC fans would feel regarding a return to the blue shorts ect .... ? I have long campaigned for blue shorts and red numbers on this site. Of course it's an option we should try for a few seasons and see if we can be successful again.

Spanish Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 It was Clough who introduced dark blue shorts in 1971 (intended to inspire his players to play as if they were turning out for England) as well as a new crest, which consisted of a modernistic line drawing of a ram. For a club that had played in a virtually unchanged strip for more than 70 years these were radical departures and a much needed breath of fresh air associated with success. http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Derby_County/Derby_County.htm That wasn't something I realised. I started watching them around that time so to be honest I thought we always played in navy blue. the age before the internet no fuss was made about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dambuster Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 No contest, black and white for me with a 2nd kit reflecting the very early days of light blue, amber and brown, maybe as vertical stripes with white v neck and shirt cuffs. If I knew how I would produce an image but maybe some computer wiz could do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The colour of our shorts can't possible influence our results so, no point trying it for a few seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we could only pass, move, overlap and play a first time ball like that lot we'd walk this league. Just look at some of the interplay and the way they want the ball and make themselves available to receive it. ( phew .. great stuff even now ) .. Sit the team down and make them watch that video, then remind them the ball was heavier and the pitches like glue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's ended early then, wasn't it a 5 year deal? Must be down to lack of shirt sales then, I see less of the recent shirts away from match days. This news along with the Ipro deal suggests that our choice of sponsors is picked by our recruitment team it would be great to have a local sponsor again.

Most of all though, I want the multi-blue away kit back. Ah the memories of Ted McMinn and bizarrely Steve Cross in this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it was a 3 year deal that ends this season. http://mobile.dcfc.co.uk/news/article/just-eat-announced-as-derby-countys-new-shirt-sponsors-1544751.aspx The two parties have signed an undisclosed three-year deal which will see JUST EAT’s company logo displayed on the front of the Rams' shirts starting from the beginning of the 2014/15 season.

Yeah Spurs played in dark blue shorts Just a bit of USELESS information when Derby played Spurs October 1971 Baseball Ground 3 RAMS players wore white boots Colin Todd,Frank Wignall and of course Alan Hinton .

Pearl Ram Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Brian didn't do reasons young man. Edit I'm sure Gemmill, Hennessy and O'Hare etc were really inspired as if turning out for England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The colour of our shorts can't possible influence our results so, no point trying it for a few seasons. I think there have been studies to try to assess the impact of a team's kit on their results, but I'd imagine they focused on the shirt colour rather than the shorts. Here's something from the journal Nature claiming red enhances performance. Another good reason for us to reinstate red numbers and try to keep the Just Eat sponsorship! http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v435/n7040/abs/435293a.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therealhantsram Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I do have to wonder whether the original poster works in DCFC marketing department and is doing some informal research... it's probably about the time of year the club are planning for next seasons kit.

Inverurie Ram Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Usually end up black and blue after a few, and to cover up all the p1sh and poo, when you've opted for far too many Whisky Shorts! Yeah why not, to celebrate all our original colours all mixed up to create a whiskey coloured pair of shorts........bravo! A few of our players could do with a few drams before kick off to sort them out! Yeah just give em Whiskey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McFarland's header against Spurs still sticks with me. 10 Years old behind the Ossie End net. Ah nostalgia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
