We should play in our proper kit unless the referee deems there to be a colour clash. |  |

It's the blue shorts. I knew they were a bad idea from the start and still find they look wrong. |  |

I'm guessing cos we would barely wear it otherwise. Whenever we should (against blue teams) I imagine, they have white somewhere in their kit as well. We must have worn the "Barcelona" kit more times this season? |  | | |

We should wear blue shorts in Europe only. |  |

People are complaining we aren't using it and are using the Barca strip more regularly. This is the rubbish you invite when you change both kits every season. |  |

So basically, always white for the foreseeable? |  |

Completely agree with the OP. Town have never worn change kits unnecessarily and we shouldn't start now, in my opinion. I seem to recall McCarthy always insisted that we wear blue if at all possible. I didn't agree with him on everything, but he was bang on there. |  | | |

Some clubs are contractually obliged to wear the away kit so many times a season.
Not sure we are big enough to warrant a clause like that though. |  | | |

Yes, such stipulations are often part of a club's contract with it's kit manufacturer. However, especially for a club like Ipswich, the extra amount earned from allowing such a clause must be so trivial that it isn't worth it. Certainly isn't as far as I'm concerned. | |

We wore our white away kit in the FA Cup semi final against WBA, who were wearing their green and yellow away kit. |  |

It's a template kit that a dozen other clubs also use, which you can also buy for your 5 a side team if you so wish, so no, no contract involved there. | |

In the FA Cup it was quite common for both teams to change when there was a clash. Must have been in the small print of the competition rules somewhere. It was the same in the 1981 semi against Manchester City. | | | |

I'm convinced that some players respond to a change of kit...it's the same feeling as heading into town on a Saturday night with your new £80 shirt on, you feel good as soon as you put it on.. |  | | |

In the 1960s, the rules in FA Cup games were that if there was a colour clash, both teams were supposed to change, even in game was not on a neutral ground. This was sometimes rescinded for the final. | |
