If Sunderland can wear their red/white and black at the Cottage then....

[CULTUREVULTURE]

why do we have to wear the vile green affair at the Stadium of Light. Same when we play Stoke.

The obvious answer is money.

its the obvious answer

...had the same conversation with Airfix leaving the ground - and the same conclusion...

And we could have worn the red at Newcastle. Therefore the third strip is totally redundant.

...and both teams played in black shorts on Saturday, a clash is a clash so why were they not wearing white shorts..?

[CULTUREVULTURE]

The football authorities should do something about such exploitation.

In an ideal world.

I was a little confused on saturday seeing 22 players running around in the same kit...  :49:

Sadly as others have said its all about money. The laws of the game leave it up to the referee on the day to decide if there is a clash that is likely to affect their judgement and he could have forced Sunderland to wear white shorts or even their full away kit.

The third kit lark is a money spinner in most cases but take comfort in the fact that it could be worse. Spurs have three kits and they also have a different sponsor for the Champions League so thats a total of six kits!
