Breaking Traditions

Maybe West Brom won't kit clash with everyone on Pro Evo now.

And the ridiculous decision at the WC for teams to not wear their traditional colours. Why didn't Germany where white and black the other night ? Why did England where all white and Italy all blue. Brazil white shorts and not blue etc etc

I can live with the training ground being renamed. Did it even have a name before Aon?

FIFA rules stipulate that you must have an all dark and an all light kit I think.

I just think these days there's a paranoia about colour clashes. Not sure why.

That said though, isn't England's home kit all white anyway? I really hate that.

Inter's is very nice.

It's all white because it has to be I believe. I do like the all red though.

That's what I mean though. Carrington is just a place. City's training ground is also in Carrington.

Now if they'd renamed The Cliff...

I guess it would help linesmen with offsides/fouls having the different colour shorts/socks. Probably the same reason the Goalie does not wear the same shorts & socks as the outfield players.

But that wasn't consistently so. Some of the SOuth American sides had different colored shorts. Seeing Holland in blue just not right when there were no clashes and for a semi Germnay in that red and black horrible kit. In years to come it will be hard to know who was playing who if you just saw a clip from a game unless you were told
