Just a nit picking question, why do the Nike and Umbro shirts have the colours on different sides?

Blackburn's half-blue-half-white kits have done that quite a lot over their history.

I think it originally started out with blue on the right for quite a long time and then swapped to blue on the left. Now they just seem to swap them around whenever they feel like it, something I noticed a while back but I've got no idea why.

Looking at Historical Football Kits it seems they started out with the blue on the left and had occasional short lived swaps to the right before the second world war, then they fixed on having it on the right since the war up until 2013, 2014 & 2018. Probably just Venkys playing silly buggers.

It’s a "limited edition" thing they occasionally bring out, the old blue is a lighter shade. Nothing to with identity of shirt sponsors but probably a bit of a gimmmick to increase sales.

Same as Arsenal wearing Maroon as the 1st kit.

I meant on the right from the perspective of the wearer not the perspective of the viewer ;)

Absolutely. On the other hand, old-timer rags will no doubt feel rather insulted by Christine's claim to "the throne". Denis Law was always the 'King' for them. Always was & always will be, I reckon. There was a pub in Denton called The Kings Head which for many years had a motif of Law on the top of the building. Is it still there? I doubt that Ronaldo will ever get that sort of accolade from the good people of Crown Point.

The building is still there but its not a pub now. It's in the process of being redeveloped into a restaurant and flats.
