Additionaly, under poor light, particularly on the edges of the pitch, players mght not be particulalrly visible in a very dark kit

In any case, all black should only be worn by rugby players and referees
the youth team opposition last week played in black, apparently the team bring 3 yellow tops to hand to officials to use for match (ps it was never going to be black anyway)

I really like the yellow kit! Its the first time I have bought an away kit in years! Not a great fan of green as it made me look fat in the supporters game :D ;)

As long as we never, ever, ever wear claret I don't mind!

I only mentioned black as the sponsor would blend in then...I'm not a fan of kits where the sponsor sticks out like a sore thumb.

I know that black football kits is only a modern thing due to the referee kit.

As an Albion fan, I loved the black kit with silver trimming we had a few years back.

Think a similar design with the Halesowen badge in silver with just the lettering of the Pet Store would look smart. That's all.

it would look smart, didnt think we could use black or it would be too complicated to liase with officials, so didnt offer it as an option, i wonder though how many votes it would have got from supporters if black had been an option?

I'd definitely buy it!

That's one.

I'll end up getting the current yellow one! But definitely should look at a potential black design, given the logistics around the officials would be ok.

Just for the record I did actually have that kit and it has been the best albion away kit I've ever brought (I had the old green-yellow stripes and 2011-12 all blue kit)
