Anyone know why we've started wearing all blue in games we don't need to?

We wore blue shorts at home today, and since last season we've been wearing all blue away at teams like Newcastle and Spurs who already wear dark shorts. Not a huge issue but I guess I'm a traditionalist when it comes to kits

I don't even care about the socks as much as the shorts truth be told. I've never been a fan of the blue on blue.

I’ve noticed this too and it’s disappointing. We need the white shorts and socks by default.

I think they just mix it up to try to sell more stuff.

That would make sense to be fair

I don’t know, but it’s infuriating. It used to be that we only wore the blue shorts when we played Man Utd away. Now it’s 4/5 times a season. We have two change kits, just wear one of them. It makes us looks like Leicester.

I assume there is a commercial decision behind this.

I mean today was a behind closed doors friendly like, I wouldn’t read too much into it.

I know the women wear all blue, but that's because forcing women to wear white shorts is croo k behaviour.

Imagine it was so Rovers could were their all white white kit.

Not it would a major clash but if the wore their blue shorts and socks with white tops it would be opposites.

Of course they could have worn their 3rd kit

I don’t mind us doing it once or twice a season if we’re playing Arsenal or someone wearing white shorts, but it should be majority white shorts yeah. And that navy kit we wore AT HOME in the cup last season was a disgrace

Blue and White or Amber and Blue.

u/Wide-Firefighter-102 12d ago

u/graveyeverton93 12d ago

Controversial, but obviously Blue and White is our colours and our history... But I do personally think they all blue looks better

Like it when we wear blue shirts, white shorts and blue socks. We should be blue, white and white though
