Has anyone noticed that they always seem to win. We have a dreadful record against sides that come to us in an all black away kit. We've been done by Leicester (they started it), Newcastle (I don't know why they wore it), Blackburn, Fulham and a whole host of teams.
I think we should have a black and black hooped away kit next season and insist on wearing the away kit at home if teams come with theirs and try it away from home to see if it has the same effect on others.

I remember the first time we wore all black. We lost 4-1 at Villa. Not really a convincing theory.
The offending shirt...
I was there at Villa Park that day. Gerry Francis who is very superstitious, because of that result, ditched it and we never wore it again. For the remainder of that season we wore that all red kit with black trim away from home.

We never wore that version (shame as it was a beauty, that was the version sold in the clubshop) the sponsor logo wasn't ready for the first game, so we had a square patch with the full 'Computer Solutions & Finance' name on it.

From the match:
I notice that the badge and Clubhouse logo are in red too as against white on the club shop sold version.

I remember buying that shirt but didn't wear it cos the sponsors badge made it uncomfortable to wear

Good strike that. With today's balls that would have left the stadium.
