Sky Blue Away Kit

[johnniericoh]

A long time ago circa 1962 a certain gentleman namely JH himself revolutionised CCFC commencing with the intro of a Sky Blue playing kit home and away.

So it makes my blood boil to see us play in red on Sunday v Sheff U quite clearly clashing with their red kit so why couldn't we play in our SB kit.

I understand the commercial aspects but we are Sky Blue not red a line must be drawn enoughs enough - please reintroduce club colours ASAP

 

[Esoterica]

Can't imagine how you were feeling by the end of the game if your blood was already boiling before we started!

 

[Bertola]

Our home kit would've clashed a lot more with their kit due to the white stripes....

 

[Nick]

Wouldn't that be down to the ref?

 

[pusbccfc]

The Sky Blue and WHITE kit would have without doubt been a bigger clash than Red against White...

 

[Nick]

Isn't that the whole idea of away kits?

Don't worry, I've just been in contact with the club and they have confirmed that they will 100% definitely play in sky blue on Saturday.

All the best

This has to be a wind up. If not this thread is laughable. Their home kit is white, we play in sky blue and white. Clearly you'd prefer the two teams to end up passing to each other.

No, they did it to insult Jimmy hill.

I'm old enough to remember when clubs only played in their change kit when there was a colour clash.

I'm going to write a strongly worded letter to the Football League.

Like they do now?

There was on this occasion.

 

[ceetee]

There are many occasions nowadays when clubs play in their away kit when there is no colour clash

£5 to anyone who can tell me which one is the Cov player

 

[covcity4life]

We should have wore black shirts with red shirt though

Red whit ein both teams was a tad annoying

 

[bawtryneal]

Its all to do with the sponsorship on the shirt. Cov have a home shirt with a sponsor and an away shirt with a different sponsor. Each sponsor is guaranteed TV coverage and matches per season

But surely that's down to Sky picking games? We've been on twice both times in red.

A fair few L1 sides won't get a televised game this season.

 

[Ian1779]

Wouldn't that be down to the ref?

Which we all established after 20 or so minutes was able to see absolutely fuck all.

Maybe the kit change stopped lameries from being sent off

 

[Captain Dart]

The home & away shirt sponsors are different, I think you'll find that is at the heart of the matter.

 

[Nick]

Greedy fucking sisu at it again

behave - stick another 18 outfield players on and my original complaint is fully justified

No it's not.

Actually, looking at that, I don't see how our home kit would have clashed...

 

[Gazolba]

Why not the home team always play in white and the away team in black - just like chess. It solves the whole problem. Each team could personalize by their own colour socks. The sponsors name could be attached with velcro. Or how about having a reversible shirt, you just turn it inside out to get another colour?

 

[Gaz71]

Some teams have 3 different kits, have Coventry ever had 3 different shirts in a season apart from the one offs we had? White (World Cup kit), Brown (125 anniversary), blue and white stripes, (cup kit)?

 

[IrishSkyBlue]

better hide the avatar lol

 

[Gaz71]

 

[Astute]

Why didn't we just swap shorts and socks? They would have been in white and we would have been in red.

Didn't matter during a certain FA cup game against Spurs in 87
And v Stoke and Leeds come to think of it

That blue was darker. I don't personally see what the issue is. I'm all for tradition but if there's a slight chance of confusion there's no reason not to change.

I think we played some away games in our previous yellow kit when our away kit was white

Yes your right, I remember we wore it at Peterborogh

There was the yellow and blue shirt. I think it was 02-03 or 03-04.
