Leeanne, please read this article (ignoring the bit about the Hawrts, obviously). And then give us back our proper, original, emerald green and white sleeved tops please!

"Bill Shankly got rid of Liverpool’s white shorts because man-mountain Ron Yeats looked even more intimidating dressed tip to toe in red. Don Revie demanded Leeds United wore all white to fool the opposition into thinking they were facing the second coming of Real Madrid. Brian Clough signalled a changing of the guard at Derby County, and in English football, by replacing the fusty old crest desecrating the shirt with a symbolic out-of-my-way-I’m-coming-through ram’s head."

Leeds still play in all-white but now flit about between the second and third tier of English Football.

Likewise, Derby county have been 'rammed' down into the lower leagues with them.

Liverpool haven't won the league for 25 years, despite their natty red shorts.

:hmmm:



Nah, I'd say a Billionaire owner is the new key to success.

:wink:

Everyone got SKY and realised Leeds weren't much like Real Madrid.

Likewise, Derby county have been 'rammed' down into the lower leagues with them.

County got a shiny new ground and got found out playing on grass instead of a foot of mud.

Liverpool haven't won the league for 25 years, despite their natty red shorts.

Liverpool are ****.

Chelsea on the other hand had their kit changed by Ruud Gullit to incorporate white socks. Much as i can stand Chelsea, their kit looks better when it's all blue and therefore i'm happy that they look quite stupid with white socks.
