Have to say I quite like the Yellow keeper's kit that, as far as I know has been used twice, but not actually been officially mentioned. I also thought the away kit looked better with Black shorts (think the black socks would have looked better with it - again not seen the white socks mentioned officially)

 

Anyway, couple of questions which no doubt someone on here can answer;

 

Is there not a ruling that the keepers shorts have to be of a different colour to the outfield players?

 

Is there a team we could play that would result in us having to wear the black shorts with the home kit?

There's no rule about keeper shorts having to be a different colour to outfield players that I know of - but seeing as the only reason we wore black shorts yesterday was because the League Cup (and FA Cup) rules insist on teams changing shorts if they clash (viz Saints' white shorts v Watford in 2003 FA Cup Semi), it's unlikely we'll see them again. There are both black and coloured versions of the shorts for all of the adidas keeper kits anyway, as modelled by the various adidas Prem keepers already (inc Vorm wearing Swansea's white socks).

 

As for the white socks, completely inexplicable as the usual black socks didn't clash, unless the officials had black shorts and socks and thought that was too similar for no apparent reason. On the bright side, they weren't even "three-stripe" socks so you can get them for about £6 online with just the logo on the front.

 

Can't think of any situation where we'd wear the black shorts with the home kit, as the home shorts are red, and the white away shorts are the second choice - the black shorts were used over red shorts to avoid a clash with the rest of Barnsley's kit, but I can't imagine there's a rule insisting no colour can appear in any of the other team's kit.

 

There's also a tendency not to mix and match the different kits nowadays (we had 2 different pairs of white socks for the away/3rd kit last season as well as alternate blue 3rd socks) so we may never wear any of the red kit with any of the black/white one.

 

I'm more interested to see what happens if we draw Bournemouth in something, we have a red kit and a black kit, they wear red and black. We could break out white away shorts and last night's white alternate away socks, but we probably couldn't wear either home kit (though the red would be better against their predominant black).
