This!!! Last seasons lime green was kack but this one takes the biscuit..

Last season's kit was called "mint green" and this one is presumably "lilac" officially but it's basically light green and now light purple which means we've had almost every possible combination of basic colours over the years including pink and (effectively) red. The only colours we haven't done as far as I can recall are grey and dark blue/navy. We've had brown described as "chocolate".

Black and white halves would make a nice change for the home kit, halves would have looked much smarter than the current one.
Black and white hoops would have been good too, which we wore during the last war.

Can’t remember the season (sponsor was SAPA I think) but we had a really smart blue away shirt…one of my faves actually. Must have been late 90’s I think?

I really liked the dark green and gold/yellow trimmed away shirt a few seasons back, that was very smart.

Described as "denim blue" at the time, the 1997/98 championship season, though it was revived the following season after the luminous green/yellow kit proved such bad luck after being worn in the 7-1 reverse in the League Cup at Man City. Probably looks a bit darker in this photo than it actually was.

Having just watched the highlights I hope we never play away when its a bit misty cause in that away strip the Notts players won’t even see each other never mind pass the sodding ball to each other! - Whoever chose that colour strip must be bonkers, they may as well have chosen a DPM pattern. The brighter the shirt - the easier to see the player and make the pass. Absolute bonkers and will no doubt cost us a few away points.

On the other hand Banjo, if we can't see our players then neither can the enemy!

It doesn’t work like that apparently, the two main types of vision are ‘Central vision’ which focuses on objects of particular interest and ‘peripheral vision’ which Is when something from the side attracts your attention. As an example, Highway & railway workers wear hi-viz jackets/vests because the bright colour makes them stand out in both central & peripheral vision. The same when the sensible cyclists wear hi-viz, drivers spot them easily so wearing insipid colour shirts will just fade in to the back-ground and our players will be unseen.

ps, I am not a optician, I googled the first bit.

Possibly, or on the other side of the coin it might be easier for the attackers to 'hide' and make runs in behind!!!

I enjoyed Williams PMI. He was criticising our defensive errors. He seems to be more 'no nonsense' than IB.

Christ, was the Basford keeper on the piss all day?
