Black or blue change strip?

Black or blue change strip?

I've an old All White's shirt from the Adidas days.  I've been wearing it for years, and love the quality, but, because it is white it is a real hassle to keep clean.  I'd love to buy one of the new Nike ones, but I don't want a white one, and I refuse to buy a blue one.  The day Nike bring a black away strip onto the market is the day they get my money.

i think black would be a good away strip

Black or Blue, who the hell are you? phil_style2007-05-11 09:43:13

black.  simply because it used to be our home strip and it just plain looks better!

Black all the way!!!

i actually like the blue strip not as predictable and more original then black

I voted for black for the sole reason that I refuse to wear Chelsea colours. 

I'd like the blue with red trim look, like our flag. The black reminds me too much of r*ugby, and no doubt commentators would remark on this. And, as pedersen said, black is too predicable.

On the subject, who was behind the yellow (supposed to be gold?) trim that's on the current home strip? Absolutely nothing to do with our country or our football history. Get rid please Nike.

grey

You've just got in from the pub haven't you...

Farking pisheads!

early finish feverish?

I like blue tbh.

When have they ever worn the blue strip must have only been a couple of times at most?

In fact haven't they worn black tops recently.fuah692007-05-14 19:54:26

The All Whites played in blue shirts and red shorts against Australia in Adelaide in the 2004 Nations Cup. They wore it a couple of times in that campaign. Quite odd really as Australia played in green that night and there was no real reason why we couldn't have played in white.

The All-Blacks wear white as a change strip, so simple, has to be black. The other national colour of the country.

Why should rugby dictate what colours football shoull wear?. See this is just another reason why I get anti the rugby thing. This idea that because rugby do this we should follow suit. Its kind of like the sporting nickname thing. What ever happened to simple NEW ZEALAND? We got ALL this and All That, Tall, Small, Black this and black that, it just gets a little overpowering for me at times. Black has never been the national colours of NZ as a country...a sporting entity yeah but as a nation we are blue red and white with a few stars thrown in for embelishment.  Black was only  brought in as a marketing tool.

Hell G., you and I could go on for hours about this sorta stuff.

Hahaha, yes we could. Quite amusing that the two biggest rugby haters in NZ are on this forum! Yes seems we do still hold those similar views on things. I think you are more of a traditionalist than myself -  but I like where you are coming from. How'd the O's go this season...hopefully better than my Canaries. They were Norfolk 'N' Good this year.

19th in a division of 24 does not represent our most successful season. I've used the word "consolidation" a lot since avoiding relegation was confirmed.

Normal order resumed in East Anglia this season, thank god.

Er, not quite my Horsey mate from down yon Ipswichville:-p I do believe the mighty Colchester United hold the title of "Pride Of Anglia" this year...and, for the first time since league footballl came into being I might add.Yes I concede Ipwich finished an impressive two places higher than my budgies, but Colchester finished an impressive 10th. You might debate that technically Colchester aren't in Anglia, but I lived in the region for near on 5 years and I can most certainly confirm that Anglia TV showed Ipswich, Norwich, Peterborough, Cambridge and Colchester matches with the ocassional oddity screened from Diss Town and Kingz (sp hahaha) Lynn.

Oh yes I finally got round to changing my avatar thingamybob and signature. Got rid of the silly bird and replaced it with a photo of Pete Drummond, the current drummer in Dragon.  I took this pic at the Hamilton gig. Might try and swap the pics from time to time with various images I';ve taken round the traps. Oh and I get a bit of a giggle from the signature. Any player that can collide with a moose whilst out training gets my thumbs up. Might be one for the Phoenix players to try and emulate or better....

TBH, the Colchester thing does not worry me (they feel like a little brother done good) but those two places are hugely important. 

...Anyway, we have digressed somewhat.

I loved the Black, can't put my finger on it, but it felt unique so it's my preference.  Could be because my Nike blue is a little 'svelte' on me.

I've very rarely seen Colchester during daylight hours. In fact the last trip I made there was to see Ian Dury play and it was a set of poetry with John Cooper Clarke.

Blue purely because it isn't black!!  Black = Rugby=boring james dean2007-05-17 22:20:03

black

This is a funny topic.  disco_mart2007-05-21 12:18:08

Orange is a rotten colour get rid of it keep it black

maybe blue as we got a draw against wales in it

Gotta be black in line with all other Kiwi international sporting teams.

I like the idea of a grey or silver colour.

What is wrong with Black as the first choice. Every other sport in NZ (BBall, ruggers, hockey, netball, cricket, motor racing, swimming, athetics etc) use black as their first choice colour. OK, we are called the All Whites so that is a good reason but as mentioned, we only use white as history stipulated it.

why dont we go beige or teal like the cricketers have in the past?
