I can't wait to see who we are playing for the purple strip to make an appearance. Worlds gone mad.
At the start of the cup run in 1968 we had a 3rd round replay against Colchester, and because Colchester didn't have an away strip we played in all red. We won 4-0. All red was our traditional strip and i think a blue and white scarf with a band of red would be class.
Hey there were 38,000 at the Hawthorns for that 3rd round replay, i was one of them. How times have changed.
That purple kit is Vile (in every sense).
I don't mind the green and yellow but very rarely do we see the need for a second kit, let alone a third. It's just marketing to drain every last penny out of supporters IMHO.
For my money the best alternative kits have been the white top and blue shorts of 68 and the black kit we had for 2006/7 season. I'd love to see the return of either.
Finally, for those of you shocked that neutrals don't know it's navy blue stripes I am constantly being told (as I don't live in the Midlands) how 'us Magpies' aren't doing so well lately. Yes, lots of people out there are very ignorant indeed.
