Thread: Wales playing in grey so as not to clash with English red socks

  1. #1

    Wales playing in grey so as not to clash with English red socks

    So why can't we play in red but with grey socks?

    I understand that as England are the designated home team that they get to choose - fair enough.

    But why not use grey socks? Are the Welsh FA bound by Adidas to use full kits and not split them up.

    I know it sounds daft but it is harder to find a team mate kitted out in grey than it is in vibrant red. Hence why Man Utd ditched theirs just after one game.

    The omens are not looking good.

    Win tomorrow and weve won the group. Don't care what colour we play in.

    Hmmm, there was a time not so long ago when most of us her worried a lot about the colours of our club side. Are the colours of our national side not even more emotive? I think this is plain wrong!

    Sometimes teams just change the colour of the shorts/socks so they can play in the home shirt ala us Vs Swansea when Bellars scored the winner.
    I don't see why we couldn't wear red shorts and white socks.

    It's the designated away team playing in their away kit because of a clash you over dramatic basement dwelling turd.

    Isn't this just part of Cookie's masterplan?

    We beat Slovakia in the home kit.

    We beat England in the away kit.

    We beat Russia with the whole team wearing the goalkeeper's kit.

    Perfecto!

    That away kit is weird I'm not sure whether I like it or hate it the other day I saw a 50 year old fat guy wearing one and it looked dreadful then I saw two 19 year old birds in the fanzone and it looked great. I must be a schizophrenic or something.

    That is masterful and prickish planning by the English.

    Despite this, despite them trying to "borrow" our slogan and creating "Together for England", I'm still going to be prouder of this Welsh side (and the whole of France is willing us to go far) on the back of what we have done since we last played England at Wembley.

    Gee thanks for those kind words! With the author possessing such command of the language I wonder who is the basement dweller! My comments were aimed at the original post exclaiming "the colours didnt matter" - thats all, not that dramatic!

    This was declared months ago. We're the away team against Russia as well, and in Grey.
