[Archived] Bring Back The Blue Socks

[rog of the rovers]

I was watching the Championship winning video earlier on and decided that the kit looked miles better with Blue socks, which is also more traditional than the current white ones.

In recent years we have worn blue socks with white shorts in the game against Tottenham two years ago which everyone thought looked good, so why not change back!

History supports Blue socks

Thoughts anyone?

P.S. Definitely keep the white shorts

we may of won the league with the blue socks but we also got relegated with blue socks.

we won the worthington cup with white socks and also got promoted with white socks although we have also got promoted with blue socks many years ago.

tbh the kit is more of a fashion item and we have some of the best looking kits right now in the country compared with others. I'm surprised makes like prada, armani etc haven't got in on the act.

i think the most important thing is how good the players are who wear them

White for me

[jim mk2]

Put a sock in it .... white socks (and shorts) are more aesthetically pleasing and give Mark Hughes's under-employed wife something to do when she washes the kit after a match.

I`m a blue sock man myself

[Cocker]

White for me

White. 1960 cup final - better kit than Brazil's!

[Silencio]

White for me. Always think blue socks make the players look shorter...

[doowe]

White for me

[Rob of the Rovers]

We lost that! And Dave Whelan broke his leg.

Bring back the old kits! Lets start going retro

Great kits!

[laughatthedingles]

The personal favourite!

Yes, I know!

Hardly the kit's fault, that was superb. You are obviously a disciple of RFW!

[Claytons Left Boot]

White when I started going in the mid 60s, so white it'll have to stay!

Couldn't we do blue and white halves?

[tchocky]

Depends if the shorts are blue or white .....

[gazsimm]

i couldn't give a t---, it's the crap players that wear the socks i am more concerned about

[Claytons Left Boot]

Very good.

Take that back! It's the worst insult I have had in my life.

[ihateburnley]

White for me too.

Hold on what if we had one sock blue and one sock white, with the blue sock being on the leg that corresponds with the white half of the shirt (and vice-versa).

I'll confuse the issue - why not red. Certainly like the away kit - this should be kept.

I think the colour of the kit is irrelevant these days.

It's all about gaining that extra yard when going face to face with the opposition.

Players these days are athletes so instead of going back to retro kits, we need to take the next step forward.

We used to have big baggy shorts, rugby style shirts, we then had small shorts and smaller shirts, then came Cameroon with their all in one kit so it leaves us with the next step.

We need to play naked.

It's the only way we will gain that extra length needed to defeat the opposition.

LOL naked. I think if the players were to play naked they should paint the kits on them!
