I thought the home team changes, think of it as your main and change kit. the home team has access to all their kit, and the expectation is the travelling team would bring 1 kit, their main kit, then in the event of a clash the home team have the ability to change, hence you would typically see the home team in their change kit. That's how I think it works/should work, but I am sure others more in the know will correct me if I am wrong!

Obviously, as you added, there can be some teams where both kits clash, then there needs to be some further planning to mitigate that!

 
Regulation 13.6.3i.e. It is the responsibility of the AWAY team (NOT THE HOME TEAM) to change shirts if there is a clash of colours.

Obviously clubs ought to have enough nous to ensure that their 'home' and 'away' kits are completely different though.

Home teams have traditionally changed.

I do remember though London Welsh came to Blues in their away blue kit once.  I think they may have done that to try and wind us up, as we already said we were playing in our normal blue one.

The result was Blues got out their old red 3rd kit and gave it to London Welsh to play in their traditional colours.  Welsh then covered up the Blues logo.

Here we go again:
London Scottish 0 - 5 Coventry 
Nottingham 1 - 4 Cornish Pirates 
Doncaster 4 - 1 Ampthill 
Bedford 5 - 1 Caldy
Cambridge 4 - 1 Chinnor
Ealing 5 - 0 Hartpury 

From a Doncaster perspective, I’m a little nervous about this opening fixture. Ampthill beat us twice last season and are never an easy team to beat. They will see all the hype about Donny during the summer and they’ll be massively motivated to give us a bloody nose. I’m looking forward to the game though - it should be a cracker.
