Even though there are white stripes in our home kit, the overarching impression is that it is blue, and with blue shorts it would have clashed LESS than the red. Stupid decision based on commercial issues.
It's not 18 more but here's a wider view and I'm still not seeing a clash.
While we could have got away with wearing our home one, I don't see a confusion there. A lot of sides have used an away kit which is almost the mirror version of their home one so it's a fairly common contrast.

Someone had superglued him to a plastic base?
This would explain RCC not getting up to that corner

Maybe it's just me, but I found it a little confusing and so did my wife. Not a massive clash, but just slightly confusing when a player was going for a diving header, or when the ball was in the penalty box and players were on the floor, the red shorts and red tops did kind of meld into one for me at times.
Fine when the ball was at feet and in general play, but in the penalty area with all those bodies it did get a bit confusing and there was a bit of a clash.

Took me a while to get used to it. Seem to recall when we've played at Fratton Park we've work sky blue as it apparently doesn't clash with blue!
I have to agree. Both teams are in red and white - which should never happen unless you are talking about just socks. Shorts and shirts for both teams should have no colour in common in my opinion. Black, yellow, gold, purple, pink or green are good away colours because so few home strips are those colours. But the away strip should have some sky blue in it even if just the socks, cuffs or collar.

I always remember our home game against Tottenham in 1986 which ended in a 4-3 win for us thanks to a last minute Regis header, the thing that sticks in my mind is Spurs having to wear our away kit, I don't know why, I presume there away kit clashed with our home kit. I also remember the same thing happened when we played Chelsea at Highfield Rd a few years later, anyone else remember any occasions of teams having to wear other teams kits?
No, no, NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
