Managers Changing Kit Designs

[City Hobgoblin]

Following on from learning that the late Tommy Docherty decided to change Chelsea‘s home kit from white to blue shorts, which other examples of this are there, and what was the psychology behind the changes?
Also, how much say do managers have in kit design these days ? ( I would guess none)

Big Mal changed City’s away kit to the black and red stripes, to look more ‘continental’ / like Milan...?
He also changed the Palace home strip to the white with red and blue sash, to look more modern / sexy...?

Revie changed Leeds home kit to all white to be like Real Madrid ...?

Did Shankly change Liverpool to all red because it’s supposedly a more aggressive/ intimidating colour?

Any other examples ?
