As has been stated the blue away shorts will certainly mean that we will be wearing white shorts in the upcoming season. It also gives us the opportunity to wear them with the away if required. I’ve been a supporter of a one off reintroduction of black socks for a several years now, and I suspect it will happen at some point. Who knows, this year might be the one? I’ve also supported the reintroduction of hooped sleeves and the reinstating of our ‘full hoop’ on our shirts. I won’t hold my breath on the latter two being done, although I live in hope that the full hoop will appear again at some point. Personally our traditional home shirt should never be without it. The ‘claret band’ has become more of an advertising feature in recent years rather than an integral part of our kit/shirt history.

I always liked the white shorts/white collar combos from the 30s and 50s. And the black socks that were part of the kit too.

Going to be controversial here and say that that design reinforces my point that we should always play in white shorts, which contrast really well with claret and amber *places colander on head against incoming pelters* Was the pinstripe jersey we wore as a change strip in the '90s not a reference to our striped '20s shirts? Your version is a belter, and I speak as a sad old hoopophile.
