Should we drop the Orange away kit?

[phil in cornwall]

The orange must be confusing for shortsighted referees. Could get our team muddled up with stewards.

Well, one thought that Kingsley was a player.

[John 3:16]

After our away performances so far this season and seeing how bad Sheffield Wednesday were on Tuesday when they wore orange. Maybe the key to sucess is to NOT wear orange and then we will go on an unbeaten away run.

Erm, isn't it correct to think that we've only worn this once in the league?

I thought this. We wore the hoops at Forest, and Berkshire said that we wore the orange at Charlton, but I was there and don't remember that and anyway with their kit being red why would we? We haven't yet worn our full home kit (blue/white hoops, white shorts) away, as the shorts colour can't clash either and with Forest and Charlton both having white shorts we've reverted to the blue shorts... maybe that's it?

Orange Kit???????

Pith off

[CMRoyal]

I hate all this superstitious nonsense - it just brings bad luck.

Erm....

[Tony Le Mesmer]

Yeah, how about Black & Grey hoops?

Oh.

Black and Grey kit >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>. Orange kit

But i think its a safe bet we will get more than 1 point in the Orange.

Red/Yellow Hoops, Black shorts. 3rd kit 93/94.

Better to copy QPR. They seem to show far more "hoops awareness" than Reading.

But they can keep their badge.

Shame we didn't have this kit when Kitson was here. That would have really pissed him off!! (Dave will I score a goal for Stoke Kitson)

[prostak]

I'm not fond of it. Since when were we a Prod team?

Am I imagining things, or did we once have a horrible red away kit with white triangles? Even that was slightly better than the chocolate orange combo.

New QPR badge is awful, yes, but their old one was a design classic and so much better than our bland mess.

It's a good point someone made earlier. We are actually allowed to wear our home kit away from home because of The Queen apparently.

Did she say so ?

Yes, apparantley because we represent the Royal County we have been bestowed the right to wear our home kit everywhere.

Preston North End also had this right because they were the first ever football league winner.

Ironically, Reading also qualify to wear their home kit for every game in the Championship though winning the league with 106 points, previously Sunderland held this right.

Thankfully the Preston, Sunderland and Reading don't have kits that clash.

The reigning FA Cup winners also have this right but only for FA Cup games.

I knew the bit about Reading and Preston. Was just being facescious.

Didn't know the other stuff though. Thanks for that.

I thought this was all just an urban legend...

Definitely wore the home shirts at Charlton.

is it me, or was there a sale on orange fabric at "fabricLand" becoz theres alot of orange away kits this season (Reading, sheffield wednessday, blackpool...)and a few home shirts (plymouth)

orange is the new red.

lol, it seems football kits have become a fashion issue now...

[Rex]

the away shirt does look soooo cool in my orange shell suit and my red trainers.

Blackpool, clue is in the question, 'Tangerines' proper tradition! HTH

[North Somerset Royal]

They should certainly stop selling XXXL size replicas and to people over 30. The colour does no favours at all to the many away supporters in those categories

Since when did Blackpool have an "away" orange kit? I mean it would be mighty close in colour to their home tangerine shirt, I thought the idea was to make them as different as possible!
