Can anyone explain why a team plays in its change strip when away from home when there is no colour clash. Often there is more of a colour clash when the change strip is used. The reason cannot be financial as clubs do have to have a change strip when there is an obvious colour clash e.g. Arsenal v Liverpool. Third strips are obviously just a money grabbing exercise and to my mind shouldn't be allowed. It's now getting to the stage where sides wear their second strip automatically when playing away.
I was pleased to see us in blue and white stripes away to Southampton last week as they are our club colours and should be worn on all occasions except when there is an obvious colour clash. This may be a minor point but I feel that the identity of a club is important.
