Navy blue socks ffs. The domain of ladies hockey only.

Yep, said all that in my post – but if look, there's a period in the early to mid 60s where the top English teams found their identity and settled on it.
From 1965 Liverpool have worn all red – never once deviating, and you can guarantee they wouldn't dream of doing it now!
United have pretty much had red shirts, white shorts and black socks from the outset, briefly dabbling with red or white socks – but from 1971 they have worn black socks continuously – and, again (apart from the exceptional circumstance of the CL) you can guarantee that they would not change the colour.
City, however, haven't settled on an identity, other than we wear sky blue – and we even f*cked that up with the lazer blue in the 90s!
Yes, yes and yes again.
Then you get the loons who claim Arsenal don't stick to their colours because they changed for one season to celebrate their centenary or leaving Highbury or something.
The most iconic kits in football are the ones that stay the same through the years as mentioned on that fantastic picture posted a couple of pages back.
Sky blue shirts, white shorts, navy blue socks. Simple as that.

Absolutely bobbins, skint, revolving managerial door, whacky ground, huge pitch, curly hair, moustaches, inflated bananas, deflated hearts, sleeping giants that farted in bed, famous players in decline, goalkeeping mishaps, future legends with premature demises, chairmen with toupes.
Then we changed it!
The question you have to ask yourself is this:
What's going to clash the least with the Champions League trophy when we finally lift it?

instead of ribbons they're going to attach navy blue socks on it to show we have history. Sending the oldies into apoplexy.
