Orange is the new...........?

[the other bob wilson]

Although Dundee United have had the colour orange in their kit for ages, Blackpool's shirt colour is often considered unique in the Football/Premier League and yet there was a time in the 70s when three other Football League sides played in orange, or variants of that colour, shirts, - one of them even used their shirt colour in the name they gave their programme at the time, can you name the three?

Blackpool’s colour was called Tangerine and they were known as the Tangerine’s.

GOod quiz! Luton would be one.

I have read a couple of times about clubs wearing orange kits in the 70s in honour of the Dutch team as much as anything else

Re: Orange is the new...........?

Newport and Oldham are correct, but the third one is not Hull or Luton - two of the teams had switched back to their original colours by the time Luton changed from white to orange, Oldham was one of them, but you've not got the other one yet.

On the subject of County, can anyone remember them playing in tangerine and black striped shorts?

I’m probably slow on the uptake and not understanding the question but I thought Luton did play in orange in the 70s?

Edit: ah, I understand your post later in the thread re Luton now! Apologies.

As a kid I had an orange kit and I called it a Blackpool kit but also seem to recall calling it a Hartlepool kit too, so I have no idea if they did play in orange or not but that is my guess
