I see we wore blue shorts at Bath when there was no colour clash with the home teams black ones, so, presumably, after just one season wearing our proper colour shorts, we're back to blue ones yet again are we? It was impossible to tell from that so 2020s video because, as mentioned earlier, our kit consists of just a shirt these days - shorts and socks are, expensive no doubt, extras.
