Clashing kit colours

I’m just glad they don’t use that orange ball in the winter anymore - I couldn’t see it on the grass because of my colourblindness.
 
Remembering the time city played at home in the away kit at Maine road because the spurs away kit and home kit were too similar

Gonna make a prediction on our red/black away shirt

I don't think the players are actually gonna get to where it until after the world cup ends looking at our fixtures. Maybe Dortmund/Copenhagen but as I said I only think were gonna see it once or twice. Maybe Leicester.
 
It's a real bugbear of mine, teams wearing the away kit, when there's no real need for it. Is it REALLY a clash of colours when we play at Chelsea and Everton, for example. Or West Ham on the opening day. Is the sky blue sleeves on the Hammers kit enough of a clash? I realise we have worn our home kit at those grounds (and vice versa). Which just makes it all the more odd when we do change into our away kit. Marketing, I suppose. Did I also see somewhere that PL rules dictate that you need to wear your away/third kits x times a season, or is that a myth?

Probably chatting shit here but from my diminishing memory I think Everton and Chelsea always wear their home kit at ours and we never do at theirs.

Happened two seasons running I think. Once from the start and once we changed at half time.

Think the 2 games against Spurs were a few years apart. The first one we actually changed in the tunnel after about 10 minutes or so(which got a few ironic wolf whistles from The Kippax!) .We ended up wearing the black and red kit with blue socks(not a good look really!)
The 2nd one we wore maroon for some reason ,whilst they wore yellow!
We won both 2:1, so maybe we should always wear our away kit at home to Spurs!!
 
Remember at Brighton one year, they wore dark blue and white striped shirts with blue shirts and socks, we wore maroon and white shirts with maroon shorts and socks.
It was pretty hard to tell the difference if you also factor in a load of pre match beer and a very sunny day (which at least made a change I suppose, as from memory it normally pissed it down in that shitty away section in the corner at The Goldstone Ground)
 
I’m sure Boro turned up at Maine Road in the 80s and wore rag shirts. One of the rare times I sat in the main stand as usually in the Kippax.
