Black is the new white (which was the new green).

The hot pink refs are too much!

Or flanno

What about Chambray? The colour goes nicely with the jeans that most supporters seem to wear. Big merch bucks there.

There are so many other teams with black jerseys. Couldn’t they come up with something different. Maybe a tri colourored jersey with equal White, Blue and Green stripes. Meh, I still like option B. I still think it is pathetic how they are sponsored by a union and then the Tradies Club when they have their own neglected club.

Black is slimming, it’ll make them look smaller on the field.

ManU have a new away strip every season, most of them are nothing like their traditional red/black/white. Still waiting for the year of fluro pink..

It’s Man U so don’t worry, flouro pink will be their colour of choice soon enough! As a Gooner, I’m still trying to get my head around Arsenal having a blue away strip a few years ago (It’s always been yellow, FGS!!!) then of course we had the commemorative Cranberry strip for their final year at Highbury. It was very nice, but as far as homes strips are concerned ‘Red is the colour and the colour shalt be red’.

As for the Raiders new away strip, could the move to black(ish) be an attempt to look more intimidating on the field? Black is, after all, a more menacing colour than white.

I don’t see why they need an away strip?

Simple answer: Having both a home strip and an away strips = double the merchandising dollars and, therefore, (The NRL takes a slice too).

This is the same reason Premier League football teams in England change both home and away strips each year. It all came to a head one year when the England strip changed a week before Xmas and parents that bought their kids the national shirt for a gift had to run out and get the ‘new’ version. BTW: Premier league teams now also have a third strip, which boggles the mind when they only have to play one team at a time and the ref always wears black.

True. ManU have a new away strip every season, most of them are nothing like their traditional red/black/white. Still waiting for the year of fluro pink..

I like B. It’s more edgy and racy.
