It was the home team (QP) who had to change strip if there was a colour clash. Apparently it was common back then. Something to do with amateur teams playing professional teams. Don't know how true that is 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know how true that is 🤔 This week I saw a highlights show of the 1973 FA Cup tie Derby v Leeds and Derby wore all blue and Leeds all red. Brian Moore was commentator and bemoaning the fact that viewers with black and white TVs would struggle to tell them apart. BTW, Toddy was outstanding for Derby - a true class act. Anyone remember an FA Cup tie at Burnden v Preston in the 60s, I think? We played in red shirts, white shorts and Preston wore yellow shirts and blue shorts. It used to be the case that there was no home and away teams in the FA Cup; the draw just determined the venue.

Whitestar Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Like this thread, you get some fantastic bots of trivia from days gone by. Went to Maine rd one time City were playing Spurs, Spurs in the usual white shirts however it was maybe early January with a low sun and a particularly pale City strip that season. Ref stopped the game and players went off, City had to come back on in the black & red striped kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Feelgood Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 (edited) It used to be that Preston, referred to as 'Proud Preston' who had gone a whole season unbeaten ... possibly won every match ... were rewarded by being given the honour of never having to change their strips. In a clash it was always the opposition who had to change. That held good into the 60's. Edited December 17, 2022 by Dr. Feelgood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
