    Awful kit - didn’t mind the ‘denim’ blue kit, but that kit is just wrong

    Hate watching us play in blue, it feels so wrong. Blue is the colour of scummy clubs like Millwall, Chelsea, Birmingham and Cardiff. I don't ever want to see us play in blue again.

    I was actually thinking to myself that I find it harder to identify the players when they are wearing blue, when my son said the same thing. Not sure if that's a real thing in the wider population or some sort of strange gene mutation in my family. Either way I don't like it.

    It's the white shorts that make it too Millwall for me. We've worn blue kits with black shorts in the past and they've looked a lot better.

    I don't care a fig what colour we wear, so long as we win whilst wearing it

    I don't mind a light blue, or a blue shirt with stripes on it, but this season's 3rd kit is a bit too Chelsea...

    I'll buy it once they get knocked out for a tenner.

    The away kit should always be black and white. We won the cup in black and white. We spelt it out in black and white. Third kit can be whatever colours the marketing people think will sell.

    If I remember right (and I was there) did we not wear blue at St Andrew's in 1987 against Leeds?

    Blue should never feature in our away or third kits....ever.

    Millwall's blue tends to be darker

    Trying to be logical regarding my total dislike of that strip......and I can’t really......I just hate it!
    I had difficulty identifying with the kit from the moment they were on camera......I don’t like it and don’t want to ever see it again is allI can say, it just didn’t feel right.
    When we play in an away strip in order to prevent a colour clash it’s of course understood .....but we should always wear our famous red strip “whenever” possible IMHO.

    It was a bit weird that Barnsley at HOME to Birmingham wore black shorts, with Birmingham wearing their home strip. Not sure of the logic why the home side would change their kit

    Zero reason to wear it against Oxford other than for commercial purposes. 3rd kits are one of the biggest cons in modern football.

    Why were we wearing it? There was no colour clash, I thought maybe there was a clash for people who are colour blind, but a quick check shows yellow/blue is the second most common type, so it’s not that. 

    Three games in a week - did someone forget to do the washing?

    Didn’t bother me.
    Not sure why some of you are so irritated by it. Reminds me of how some Spurs fans refuse to have any red on anything they wear.
    I often mention on here when I’m irritated by kits when they clash and, admittedly, wearing blue today was unnecessary as red wouldn’t have clashed. But blue didn’t clash either, so I don’t see an issue. It’s not like we’ve never worn blue before either.
    I don’t know. Seems like a non-issue to me.

    Surely the players are more used to passing to players in red .
    It could cost us a fraction of a second , probably not but I’m sure playing in red is more helpful than playing in blue .

    Always liked it when we had a yellow away kit personally (albeit this seasons silver ones is up there with my favourites ever)

    Yellow and White are nice colours for a top.  This seasons away top is a cracker, it reminds me of the '88 Admiral shirt.

    Blue and black stripes if we have to have a blue away kit.
