It was crazy. There was quite a bit of mud to add to the mirkyness. But it was both first team kits. Not a change kit clashing with a first kit. |

Brizzer - you and all the travelling fans will be made very welcome at GR as usual. And yes, bring on the World Cup, the TV record function is set! It's winnable this time methinks!

We have had similar in N2 with Worthing in Dark Blue and Yellow hoops and Henley in Dark Green and Yellow hoops, virtually indistinguishable. In fact in one game both teams changed at half time (presumably at referees request) so Henley should always have been in their change kit as the away side. |

Crazy last season - Coventry in dark blue and white hoops playing Nottingham in dark green and white hoops in an evening match under lights.

Going back a while (FDR days?) the change kit had to be 'light' if the home kit was 'dark' (and vice versa) and a different colour…..which seemed sensible as it covered most eventualities including visual impairment, colour blind, TV etc...…...not quite sure when/why that one went - or indeed if I'm just imagining it...

starting to get excited about the prospect of a rugby fest. RWC starts Friday, Championship Cup starts on Friday (although we don't play until Saturday) and got my flights & hotel booked for Bedford on the 1st February.
Only 2 more big sleeps until it all starts!!!! BRING IT ON BABY !! |

Championship rule; colours of change strip have to be different to the first choice kit.

So home is red and away is red? Can't see any problems with that!

Don't think it's purple - it's predominantly red.

oh my - just saw Pirates new strip. Away is purple and home is red. The away kit has a fade effect where it darkens to black towards the bottom. With the black shorts being worn with it in the picture, it looks like they have strangely high waistlines.

Wasn't the predominantly white regulation something to do with TV?

Indeed. And it looked lovely on the home jersey piping last year. Now the lads look a bit Oompa Loompa. |

I believe the premiership had that rule.
But it was never in RFU regulations. I see no reason for a side to wear anything other than their main kit, unless there is a clash. And as long as the change strip does not clash with the clubs main strip - they should have a shirt they can wear.

I believe that the current guidelines on kit state that a club’s alternative kit should be predominantly different from their first-choice kit. Clubs no longer need to have a ‘home’ and ‘away’ kit, they can if they wish, the alternative being, first-choice and second-choice. The overriding consideration is that the kit on the team playing away should be a complete contrast to the home team. The RFU process is straightforward, imho. It’s up to the clubs how to choose their colours !

In our first season in the champs it was suggested our away kit should be mainly white....sadly we now seem to be going the way of wendyball

If that has ever been a rule, it is ridiculous. 1) if the team plays predominantly in white, their 2nd kit would be very similar. 2) I would have thought a teams 2nd kit should be a single colour which is nothing like their first kit |

It certainly wasn’t allowed last season when Coventry with blue and white hoops for main kit were prevented from having red and white hood for change kit, because both kits included white.
