UWN. Game's gone.

It’s their home kit but bled in the wash

There was a stand full of Sunderland fans proudly wearing their red and white stripes, and there was the team dressed in pink, I presume to market a second kit.

I hope Ipswich do not to this. I want to see us play in blue wherever we can.

Good comment from a neighbour in SBR, As Brobby went off, "Mr Brobby? More like Mr Blobby in that kit."

I think the top you mention is worn with white shorts, which is the same colour of as our home shorts.

The PL allows the two teams to wear the same colour shorts.

Even stranger to me was to see several Sunderland fans wearing a blue shirt. Possibly a third kit or last season's away shirt? Did they not realise we play in blue!

Horrible kit. No wonder their players looked like they didn’t want to be out there.

PL clubs aren’t allowed to have betting sponsors, so a few are sponsor-less at the moment, like Forest and Chelsea

We already did when we played in black at home to market a third kit on Sky TV.

I couldn’t care less what colour the away team wears.

It’s like another group of fans couldn’t care less about us and what colour we play in. Have to admit, this totally shocks me.

No, I don’t give a hoot about what Sunderland chose to wear at Ipswich away.

It’s startling to become another overused phrase for anything that might be slightly different from watching 30 years ago.

We’ve literally worn black at home, I can see that stirring up a few traditionalists but presumably teams will wear new away shirts with no kit clash at the start of the season in the hope to sell some more.

Same reason they release kits every year, cash.

Indeed, I still can’t think of another team that has ever worn a different kit at home outside of ceremonial/charity reasons either

Yes, it's all about the agreement with the kit maker, but I still prefer Town - and other clubs - to wear their traditional kit whenever possible. Sunderland in pink is nonsense - they've worn red & white stripes for longer than I've been alive & a game loses something if one of the teams doesn't look as it should.

Would you mind in Gamechanger made a Vincent Tan style decision and elect to change Ipswich's home shirts from blue to red?

If they changed the kit colour to purple then yes I welcome that.

On a serious note, I said I don’t care what the away team wears. That is totally different to changing the home strip - especially if it’s to a boring colour like red.

All this just for the CEO's ego and wanting to meet Nigel Farage by Blue_Order 26 Mar 20:27
“The cost of football crisis”
“Stop pricing fans out of the game”

He had a go at us, albeit nowhere near on the same scale, after we made a point about us playing in a black kit at PR that time too. That one said “Tradition Matters”.

He doesn’t like any dissenting voice, or our group at all. Says we’re ‘bad for the clubs family image’. He told us everyone at the club hates us, and that nobody was willing to work with us for at least the rest of the season (not that they do much anyway but).

Yes, for me it is an important part of the occasion. I want to see Sunderland in red and white, Newcastle in black and white, Liverpool in red etc. That is who they are. Imagine if Norwich turned up at Portman Road not wearing yellow and green. Clubs should stick to their identity, and just wear their second shirts when colour clash requires it.
