As for the rest of it... well, every season, I think "Lets go with something different - like blue and white stripes, or hoops, or quarters" But it never happens, probably because of the fans' expected reaction - there would be outrage, complaints, and fans yelling from the rooftops about tradition, we play in blue, etc etc. The club can't win, so it gives the fans what they want - blue shirts. There you go.
As a shirt it's pretty safe. Maybe the away and third shirts will be totally outrageous, but I doubt it.
