I dont see Maroon or Claret being major components of ANY home kit.
-it's a branding thing, and as an international brand, you need clarity in what your colors are.
Burnley, West Ham, and Villa all heavily using those elements, prevent us from showing anything other than Blue and White as the main colors.
Like it or not, it's just how it'll be.
Now the away kits etc, maroon/black/gold/purple...whatever, couldn't care less. We barely wear the away kit anyway
i wouldn't call it a major component on a home kit either, as the Major components are sky blue and white. I'd class it with Navy as a 'tertiary component only for trim or highlights.
But Nike will always to try to differ the home kits every season from a selling stand point so each old looks 'different' to the last. Hence the idiot choice this year with the blue shorts and white socks. Gives them a chance to revert to something resembling traditional or normal next season.
