    The comparison was nothing to do with shirt costs… Rather the implosion of decent football clubs by asset stripping,
    “ investing” owners ?

    Why oh why does a club need 3 kits?
    Teams should play in their main kit for ALL games, and a secondary change strip for a clash if needed.

    I agree that teams should play in their main kit, and use an away kit for clashes. But there's another reason for a third kit, especially for teams like ours whose first and second kits are both dark. A light third kit helps visually impaired people differentiate between the two teams on the pitch more easily

    You can see a pinstripe from 10 feet and a chalkstripe from 10 yards. Ours are butchers' stripes and I reckon they are probably best seen from 10 miles.

    We ain’t got any assets so that rules us out of that equation ;)

    Watching the Boro game on the Boro app.
    Not only does the kit look absolutely terrible but it looks like it’s sticking to the players.

    Guess it makes it harder for the players to pick each other out too....

    Bit of a shock to the system last night! Still if we play well it might grow on me.

    The lettering of the players names is way too dark. Couldn't read any of them.
