StringerBell Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 It's always been black and white for me, I even got put in detention at school for insisting that Derby wore black shorts. I wouldn't mind them having a change for a season to blue again though. A bit like that season Arsenal had that maroon kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be in favour of a look back to history and a season of blue/amber/chocolate as a home kit as a one off {like Arsenal did a few seasons ago} but only as a one-off exception. Oops. Snap.

loweman2 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 You can even stick the red dogs god in a blue and white Derby shirt and it still looks like the dogs dangles ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No real wizardry or talent, just a quick job for the member that fancied a Ajax style shirt. Sounds like wizardry to me. I have no idea what you’ve just said ? nice shirt though.

Shang Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 From a design perspective it would be nice to have an extra colour in there, white and black is really crude. I prefer to buy away kits because they're just more interesting. Maybe for some sort of anniversary kit of winning the first division or something.

Was there any backlash when we went back to black 18 years later, obviously we had some successful years wearing the blue. I was only 7 at the time so didn't really mean much to me, black is all I've really known. There was a huge backlash. Alderman St John Arbuthnot wrote a letter to the evening paper saying it was a disgrace and as well as that they all need to get a haircut.

Mick Harford Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Was the 89/90 season when we went back to black, I do not remember much fanfare about it at all, it sort of just happened. 88/89 kit 89/90 Kit (with the mythical change kit that got binned) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love this season’s kit. Those who are looking to change it and tamper with the basic white and black I don’t generally agree with. We often end up with “contrived” designs that just look wrong and are often only done to justify making it different to justify the cost of a new kit. The only other exception would be if “they” {Umbro? The Club?} allowed the fans to design a kit; but beware of Isigonis’s camel { ie the horse that is designed by a committee}. I'm a traditionalist so for me it has to be white shirts, blue shorts and red numbers. These are the colours of my youth. Talking with my pals who grew up in that era supporting other clubs, these are the colours they think of when remembering the great Derby teams of the 1970s and no one can understand why we have abandoned them for this johnny-come-lately black and white nonsense!

SaintRam Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I understand the oldies having fond memories of the blue and white strips. But for me, there should be a relationship between the team's home colours and the club's emblem/mascot. I don't know of many blue and white rams. I'll always be voting for black & white.

So that’s why Sheffield Wednesday are blue and white stripes. I always wondered. (The very rare blue and white stripey owl only lives int eh Sheffield region, if you didn’t know, google it).

It's one of my least favourite for specifically that reason. ducking Wolves as well. Their orange colour should be Leicester's instead of the generic blue! Wolves should play in grey.
