It's a mockery Henners and the cynic in me says its pure commercialism to sell away strips when teams change when there is no need to, like us yesterday wearing white and a lot of the away games I've been to this year when we've unnecessarily worn the blue / mauve strip.
As for WBA v Leicester that was a joke as insufficient difference in shade of colour when looking at both blue shirts from the back. Surely it is down to the referee to insist on a change of strip if he is not happy in these circumstances after all they are quick to tell substitute players warming up to put a bib on if their tracksuit top clashes.

I'm sure teams that have different sponsors on home and away strips have obligations to wear them a certain number of times each season. Even if they would never admit it publicly1

I didn't think the black and white kit was for sale.
The can't wear the red kit on Tuesday either0 -
Also, we WANT the kits to clash.
Kit clash is the wrong term to use when teams use similar colours, always bugged me that.2 -
Don't we want the kits to contrast ie be different rather than clash ie be similar.stackitsteve said:Also, we WANT the kits to clash.

Even though I like the white shirt there was no reason why we couldn't have worn red. The players then might have believed they were playing "for the badge" and not for some nancy boy "can't get my lovely whit kit dirty" team.3

Yes, no reason to wear the white kit yesterday0

This season’s Peterborough kit has red socks (I live locally and there was some discussion about it at the time - think the conclusion was that historically Posh wore red). Can only assume this was the basis on which it was considered a ‘clash’.
Couldn’t believe it when I heard we were wearing white - crazy!0 -
We're calling it a "kit blend" now. That's what we want to avoid (shout out to The Football Ramble listeners).stackitsteve said:Also, we WANT the kits to clash.

I really like the white kit, but I like it better with black shorts.1 -
Examples of colours that clash are Red & Blue or Blue & YellowHenry Irving said:

Google it.

Do we really sell more away strips by wearing that kit against Peterborough when we could have worn our home?RedChaser said:It's a mockery Henners and the cynic in me says its pure commercialism to sell away strips when teams change when there is no need to, like us yesterday wearing white and a lot of the away games I've been to this year when we've unnecessarily worn the blue / mauve strip.

Instead of an all-white kit I'm sure we could have found some black and white halved shirts for them to wear ...1

I do remember the ref making our keeper change his shirt,just before kick off at the valley, because it clashed with his.

I haven't been in the club shop for ages and wasn't aware, as Henry mentioned, they might not be available for general sale, so that kind of answers your question I guess ftb. Maybe if they get enough enquiries as to its availability or go with it as the main change of strip next season, wearing it yesterday will have served a useful purpose in stimulating demand, only time will tell if my cynicism was justifiedse9addick said:

I was surprised at the West Brom v Leicester kits, but not once had any difficulty in telling the difference between the two sides.

Watching the Football League highlights yesterday, Swindon v Lincoln. Swindon's keeper had a kit on that was very similar to the one worn by Lincoln's outfield players, and Lincoln's keeper one close to that worn by Swindon's. Not an exact match I know, but if I were the ref I would have been asking both to change.

I noticed that when I watched the highlights yesterday and do find it incredible that the ref allowed it. Whatever happened to the good old "green jersey"?0

Couldn't see the point of Bournemouth changing to white shirts and blueish shorts yesterday, the reverse of Evertons' colours! And why was the club badge on their shirts not in its usual red and black format? Commercialism!1

Last week I was sat on the motorway when Burton kicked off at Man City so I was listening to that on talkshite.
They said that teams have to submit what colours they’re wearing for the game (in the caraboa at least) and that Burton has submitted all-yellow and Man City had objected as it would clash with their stewards coats (we’ve all seen that clip on YouTube but I forget the team) but I was pleased the ref overruled them.
I bet Burton were pleased to have left the Etihad with at least some form of small victory 1
