Dethorn Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 What is it with away kits nowadays I mean why did we have to change to play boro ? Also I notice brighton in Yellow against Manu surely white versus red and blue versus red are OK ?? Are there contractual reasons or anything like that ?

Kernow Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I suspect contractual issues are involved. England had to wear their away kit at home to Germany because Nike were unhappy that the strip had barely been used. Also, from the club's perspective they'll want all kits on show enough to encourage more sales. Kids aren't going to be begging their parents for a shirt the team they support never plays in. $$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Ram Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 ...and it’s coming up to Christmas, maybe they’re hoping kids with home kits will badger their parents for the away kit as @Kernow alluded to. Maybe we’ll see the third kit get an outing in the next couple of weeks as well, wouldn’t surprise me. Kerching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dethorn Posted November 28, 2017 Author Share Posted November 28, 2017 Makes sense so maybe even more commercial than contractual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See: the last game at the old Wembley, the 5-1 and a handful of others. Do we know why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
