I suggest that most fans would care. Every Latics fan alive today will only remember us playing in blue and white, so why wear a totally alien colour just because we wore it 125 years ago. The celebrations will be commemorating our 125 years of existence nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a concept kit out on t’interweb that is red and white stripes - very Athletico Madrid in style - and its a belter. I would definitely buy it and wear it with pride. Especially when I pop along to Lionel Road with my Brentford supporting mate. The blue one (on the left) is pretty cool too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worcester Owl Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 I agree, the Atletico-ish kit looks good. As a general rule I hate clubs changing kit every season just to screw money out of the fans, but I like anniversary kits. I thought the Arsenal maroon one a few years ago was pretty cool. No problem with us playing in red and white for a season if that's how we started out. What's the problem? I don't stop supporting England when we play in red & white (ok, that's a second kit, but you get my point). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The celebrations will be commemorating our 125 years of existence nothing else. Also celebrating our formation 125 years ago. If you're going to have a special kit, don't see the problem in having the kit we had when we were formed. Saves people quibbling over which of the many styles of blue and white kits we've had over the years is best representative of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mighty_bosh Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 I'd be happy with that red and white kit for a season. The early 2000 style white and blue kit on the left looks pretty good too. Rochdale did it for their anniversary kit too, think it was a black and white one. We could always go for the blue and red (looked purple on TV) Pony kit from the late 90s if needed...

Get it stuck on the idea list to the club. Even if they did a "just for fun vote" and then get stick a photo up of the winner or create a wall/collage of them in one of the stands. Club could get some of the college kids to do it, or ask each school to create a life size cut out etc. Cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree about the red and white one for the anniversary, I think it makes sense to go a bit out of the ordinary for the anniversary. But absolutely not for the red and blue hoops. The only thing special about that shirt is that it's the most minging one we've had in 124 years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al_bro Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I wonder why we didn't have a commemorative kit for the 100th. anniversary. It would seem more of a landmark than 50 or 125. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
