    Ban them. I thought ours was atrocious but next to that abomination Man City wore yesterday it's almost stylish.

    I believe we have. Dont get that myself. In fact dont get 3rd kits full stop, totalling unnecessary

    ££££££££££££ no other explanation. Can't say it doesn't work I've seen plenty of all 3 worn in the stands. I will be purchasing all 3 not as I wear any of them to games as I don't wear colours but I collect the kits every year. It stings a bit but I've got no choice to keep my collection going.

    We haven't worn our excellent white kit in a league game yet. Excellent opportunity to wear it yesterday but chose the gaudy orange one. Hopefully wear it at Morecambe who wear mainly red but there again so do Crewe and we wore the orange kit there.

    Couldn't wear the White kit against Crewe as it's got white shorts which would have clashed with Crewe's white shorts, same with Cheltenham

    Couldn't we have worn the white shirt at Crewe with black shorts. Wearing orange against a team to in red was a bit of a colour clash.

    I'm not sure its all about money. The problem is as the years have gone on we have gone from kits where the shirt was a single colour, shorts a single colour and the socks a single colour to what we have now where colour combinations are much more complex, combined with the faster pace (And keepers wearing so many different colours as well) it does make a certain amount of clashing more likely.

    Where it does come down to money imho is the use of the 3rd kit when there isn't really a clash just to get a certain number of uses. It was better what Man Utd used to do and I would imagine others did where the previous years Away kit became the 3rd kit, that way they didn't need to force a certain number of uses onto it as it got an extra season of use (and in the days of 2 year kit cycles 2 extra years) out of the kit
