Never mind the merits of Keane, Reo-Coker etc. this is the serious area of debate.  Hope this link works, look at the kits from 1956 -65, the claret socks give the look of a hard team, one that means business.

Compare to the next kits with white socks -these are just wussy as are the light blue socks of recent years.

They've missed one out. 66/67 (I think) we wore light blue shorts at home - it was the season Liverpool and Chelsea stopped wearing white shorts and we seemed to follow suit. Colin Withers wore all green, which was also fairly revolutionary.

I know, despite being informed that they are not. I am convinced some people simply cannot read or are unable to grasp the idea of someone doing a top mock up. God help them if they ever developed a sense of understanding.

you sir have indeed created a monster but just read the comments at the bottom I do hope the general has seen these and will take them to Nike and announce 'now these are our shirts for the next 10 years'

The original designer should have put his name on those kits.

I think we should go for a 1981 looking one, especially with the 30 year aniversary coming up.
