The wisdom of Derry having two kits that have a lot white on them, black shorts and white socks was called into question at Oriel Park tonight, as their away was deemed to clash with Dundalk's home, forcing Dundalk to wear their change kit.
When will something be done about this?

They should all be made to go for something mad, like this kit:

LOok until the kit manufacturers in this country start thinking about these things nothing will change. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know this wud happen tonight. Its funny because I was with a club today who thought 2 kits wud do. I threw in a third kit saying it was better to be safe than sorry.they may never wear but as a kit supplier ill sleep easier knowing they have it!
It's not really a high horse, I'm just pointing out that the league are letting clubs get away with having away kits that do little or nothing to solve clashes, which is their primary purposeQuote:

Yeah , but the point is both your home and away shirts are mainly white.Quote:

I do agree that clubs should have a complete opposite colour for their away kits, I think in Derrys case they should follow Sheff Utd's away colour as they have similar home tops, I think they wear yellow.
Anyway its no big deal, there is a lot of more pressing worries for all clubs out there.
Derry announced a month or two back that they had a third strip that was not on general sale but was available to the team. This was a black top, don't know what colour the shorts or socks were. I wonder why this wasn't an option last night?
What if it was claret and blue?;)Quote:

I realise this post couldn't be vaguer, possibly...
I thought Dundalk's away strip was all red.
Current Dundalk away kit is all blackQuote:
