Due to our red away kit being unusable against Witton Albion, we've now got this:

There was no colour clash with your home kit.

The ref would have allowed two teams to wear a striped kit (there's plenty of colour distinction between the two teams).

Two examples of stripes v stripes is Chorley v Rossendale and Chester v Chorley (both dark blue v black & white stripes).

Congratulations - you've just wasted £600 for no reason at all!

In the league, yes. But the rules for the FA Cup and FA Trophy are that stripes versus stripes are not allowed. Or at the least the referee is able to say it can't happen. In which case we could have been in trouble if we hadn't got this strip when we go to Witton in the FA Trophy.

But even more importantly than that, our second choice strip is really naff so we needed to have another option for sake of style. Now that one was a waste of £600 or whatever it was.

The FA rules are here:

The rules are the same for either a league or FA Cup/Trophy game.

The usual practice is that the away kit manager informs their club secretary which colour they plan to play in, the secretary then converses with the home secretary and agrees the colours.

On matchday, the referee is shown both shirts and as long as he is satisfied that there is no clash (when viewed by officials) on the pitch) then everything is ok.

IF the ref had said that there was a clash, he would have probably made you play in Wittons 2nd strip. That would be an extreme case tho'.

As for the 'naffness' of your away kit - only you can tell us that!

3 kits?
you must have too much money up in blyth

Just for the possibility that it would have been viewed as a clash it was worth getting. No offence to Witton but we've reached enough lows recently. Having to borrow someone else's away kit would be an indignity I'd rather we avoid. Even if it costs £600.

And this is our second choice away strip, keep the comments respectable chaps...
