Finding our identity bring back the colours and stripes

Typical.

 

The 2016/7 kits were excellent. Home, away and third strip.

 

Not quite

 

Home kit :- Claret and Amber stripes.

Away kit :- All white

Third Kit :- All Azzurri Blue

 

You are a wit aren't you?
I actually agree with you and get what you are saying but I too would also like the stripes back.
Some of my favourite City teams over the years didn't wear stripes. Promotion and the cup win at Norwich both under Bobby Kennedy in a white kit. The team under Roy McFarland wore white, the team that Trevor Cherry and Terry Yorath had success with wore white. And that never to be forgotten day away to Wolverhampton Wanderers........white.

 

Most of our best days have been in a white kit, Not that we ever learn, Take L666ds played in the lower divisions in blue and yellow then along comes Revie and changes the kit to all white and the rest is history.

 

Only from 1960/61 season mate when Leeds under Revie just missed dropping down to the old division three, so Revie implemented a youth policy and a change of kit colour to an all-white strip in the style of the great Real Madrid

 

I assume everyone is aware that whatever our kit is for next season, it will have been decided months ago.

I remember James Mason saying that kit designs have to be signed off by at least December for the following season.

I hope it’s stripes. It will go a long way to getting rid of the ghost of Edin.

 

Yep the Derby game at Bellend road was very unlucky

 

Too right. And in the year I first starting going to VP as a tiny kid, promotion from Div 4, with claret and amber stripes on the backs of Bobby Ham, John Hall, Bruce Stowell, Brucie Bannister, Norman Corner et al. Club tradition is all about heritage and memories. It's why we continue, against all the odds, to be fans. And these things do matter.

 

57 years what?

 

Far to simple and silly to say Leeds’ success under Revie down to changing the kit to white, maybe it had an effect but I’m pretty sure there’s more to it than that. The 3 most successful clubs in English football history all wore red, though Arsenal have some white. The current best team wear blue, in fact I can’t think of any successful teams that currently play in white in England ( even the country’s had no success with the colour).

For every Revies Leeds there are far more examples that prove its nonsense. The likes of Bury and Tramere just off the top of my head.

It’s the players playing in the bloody thing that counts!

 

Nah, don’t you know, it wasn’t the likes of Michu, Hernandez, etc that beat us to the 2013 League Cup. It was the kit colour that they played in

 

Except if it was decided around December it will have been his decision

 

Who are you replying to ?.

 

Couldn’t agree more. Bradford City are synonymous with Claret and Amber stripes. We need our identity back. It’s a really good and simple marketing opportunity also.

 

Initially the comment Trevor made but also those that seem to think there’s something in that theory and all our successful sides came in white, just because we played in white against Wolves doesn’t mean we did most of the season.
