New 07-08 kits

[Morph]

It has always been that way

we tend to rotate our away kit from white, yellow green or black (with the notable horrendous exceptions of ecru and silver), although the current sequence has been white, yellow, white

The problem mainly happens with the white kit, when we play a team whose home colours are red and white (eg Sunderland, Arsenal etc), in those matches we revert to our previous years away kit as our 3rd choice kit, so this year we will wear our yellow kit away at sunderland on Aug 25th

The black kit is simply our changed strip for european matches only, when we cant wear red

I'd be very surprised if we didn't wear the black kit when both the white and red clashed, there's no reason to not wear it is there, and being a current seasons kit as well. Just like we used the euro away kit when we played watford away last season

you could well be right

I am simply going on previous experience

it would make more sense, although the offal only lists the black kit as euro away (not 3rd choice EPL)

it would also make the black kit more attractive to buy, because as I said earlier it is possible for us to go through a whole Euro campaign and never wear it

My experiences of the previous years away kit being 3rd choice is probably before we jumped on the Champions league "away kit" bandwagon, which let's be honest is just another ploy to get us to part with even more of our hard earned cash

If I recall in previous years, we actually called a certain kit the 3rd kit and still had it available for sale. The yellow isn't being produced any more and you buy it in the shops (unless it's old stock) so it'd be a really daft idea not to give a kit we've launched the most games possibly available to it.

Although i understand what you're saying I do remember a few times when we wore the yellow or green kit from the previous season, but I think clubs have picked up on the marketing since then. The black kit for example is just a glorified 3rd kit, but they give it the title of euro away kit to make it sound more appealing to the customers as they think they'll see it in use more than about twice.

Torres will score in this game.
I have foreseen it.
