    Away Colour Clash

    I'm sat here watching the Bristol City v Leeds match and finding the shirt colours not clearly distinguishable from a distance. There was no need for a change of colours in this instance because Bristol play in red and Leeds play in white so Leeds could have kept their home colours and the contrast would have been more apparent.

    I wonder if anyone else agrees with me that perhaps the football bigwigs should only allow a change of shirt when there is a genuine need and, for the benefit of the viewer, the referee should insist one team plays in a dark colour and the other plays in a light colour. That should do the trick.

    Leeds wouldn't be allowed to play in all white, as Bristol have white shorts.

    All about selling their away kit.

    Leeds’ movement is brilliant.
    They would pull our defence apart based on yesterday.

    A few teams in my daughters football club want to choose 2nd shirt colours, we have yellow shirts and blue shorts for the whole club as a 2nd colour clash kit, now as some play for JPL teams, they want to choose a colour kit, some want Pink, some want Black

    Leeds will fall apart again.

    Sky really hypes up everyone at the club.

    They only beat the Wurzels 2-1 after all.

    Calvin Phillips should get a ban fot that hairstyle.

    Absolutely fascinating. Now, how does that have any link to the post you quoted?

    I agree. If there is a shorts clash, change the shorts. Remember us wearing blue shirts and red shorts at Bootham Crescent a while back.

    Re: Away Colour Clash

    I think short clashes are not allowed.

    So Leeds could not wear white shorts as they would clash with the Wurzels white shorts.

    Yesterday Bolton only had one kit (they were grateful for that), and the shorts clashed with Wycombe. But the EFL allowed it as Bolton were in enough shit already.

    Preston can force the home side to change their kit because they were the first FL Champions.
    Reading can force the home side to change their kit because they play in the Royal County of Berkshire.












    None of that is true btw

    And the other thing is when a team plays in red and a goalkeeper plays in orange. Again there's the clash that happens between Wolves and Bristol City. Why? Again there's when a team plays in blue and the other team or goalkeeper plays in black. Why? And whatever it looks like for the ref it's far worse in the stands.

    i thought this was a thread about our shite passing at Wigan. The stewards saw more of the ball than Bobby Reid

    Leeds looked fantastic last year until it mattered. It's a long season, ups and downs. I'd say they should get top 6 but who knows really.

    Pedant corner.

    Clash: a mismatch of colours. "a clash of tweeds and a striped shirt"

    synonyms: mismatch, discordance, discord, lack of harmony, incompatibility, jarring
    "a clash of tweeds and a striped shirt"

    You should have said, away colour harmonious match.

    sorry just being a dick
