Wow. You are like a dog with a bone. Your first post on the subject was “but did we ever win a game in it?”well, jinx is your word, but to use the point you've tried to deflect with, yes, we did not perform as well in it as the others, which was all my original point was, aside from the 6-1 win against relegated Burnley.
Never went to the Hacienda and it was my era. Like the kit though.It was still a nice shirt nevertheless. Better than that Hacienda mess this season. Did anyone under the age of 40 go there? It was closed by the time I was old enough to go out.
Me? Anyways, I did ask the question, because I remember many dropped points in it. We had moved on from that, but nice deflection again.Wow. You are like a dog with a bone. Your first post on the subject was “but did we ever win a game in it?”
Well yes we did. The first day of the season. And on average, we lost less in it than the sash kit or the blue kit worn away that season.
You need to factor in the Mark Hughes effect in those figuresHere's the league away record for the Bee kit season, just because I'm a geek;

Blackburn 2-0
Villa 1-1
Wigan 1-1
Birmingham 0-0
Bolton 3-3
Spurs 0-3
Stoke 1-1
Fulham 2-1
Burnley 6-1
Arsenal 0-0

This would suggest that we were inconsistent away in all three kits. We actually won more in the black than any other kit although admittedly we played more time in it.
Absolutely. That’s why I don’t think we did bad in it. One of the draws was away at what was then a decent Arsenal team. Obviously Mancini was in then.You need to factor in the Mark Hughes effect in those figures
On the previous page, I listed our results away in the Premier League that season.Me? Anyways, I did ask the question, because I remember many dropped points in it. We had moved on from that, but nice deflection again.
On avg. you say? It now appears that you have statistics to make your last sentence. Share them?
my point moving forward was remembering a lot of dropped points in that kit, and I do. we had 9 draws away that year, getting one point of a possible three. I'm certain lots were in that kit. thanks for looking up the stats, I couldn't find them, but they are not complete for what I'm looking for.On the previous page, I listed our results away in the Premier League that season.
In black, we played 9 and lost 1.
In white, we played 3 and lost 1.
In blue, we played 6 and lost 2.
If you can’t work out that we lost fewer on average whilst wearing black from that, I don’t really know where to go from there.
Average would suggest that had we played 9 games in all three kits (common denominator) we’d have lost 3 in white and 3 in blue.

I remember us playing spurs & ref stopping game to make us change into our red & black away kit due to colour clash??Which opponent had to wear city's away kit because they forgot their shirts?? Also what colour was the shirts was it our red and black stripes?
I thought it was spurs. Thanks for that.I remember us playing spurs & ref stopping game to make us change into our red & black away kit due to colour clash??
It might have happened more than once, but I'm sure I remember us playing against Spurs at Maine Rd in our maroon kit. Early 90's if memory servesI thought it was spurs. Thanks for that.
Yep. Didn't Wayne Clarke (remember him?) score for us that day?It might have happened more than once, but I'm sure I remember us playing against Spurs at Maine Rd in our maroon kit. Early 90's if memory serves
