Why Can City wear White shorts

[richl]

City wear white shorts?
we always have to change?
on tv the contrast between the shirts wasn't great either?

[Jimmy Smash]

Thought that myself. It was confusing at times.

[The Left Side]

They should have worn their white shirts with the dark shorts that is their main away jersey, it gives the Villa players an excuse for their poor passing if the kits are the same!

[Chris Harte]

The same. It can't have been easy differentiating between the two in pheripheral vision for the players.

Rich - can you edit the title and make it a bit more informative?

I agree btw. Clashed dreadfully.

Just before half time Petrov passed a ball straight to a man City player beleiving it to be one of his own players. It was hard to pick up at times.

I can think of 2 explanations:
We drew the shorts straw
It is a conspiracy by the manufacturers of TV receiving equipment to sell their latest technology.

[VillaSpen]

Shorts can clash, it's only shirts and socks that are not allowed to in the Laws Of The Game.

I got confused until I decided to watch the socks.

On the subject of that, I have a gripe with people's unimaginative thread titles. When discussing a particular player, like Stephen Warnock for example, instead of just calling the thread ''Warnock'' (of which   similarly titled topics probably already exist), could it not be ''Warnocks Shocking Form'' or something just so we're sure what we're clicking on?

The internet forum auditors from PWC will have a f-ing field day with us.

I'm awfully colorblind and today was brutal for me. I was going purely off socks.

[Vancouver]

i had to sit up from the couch to see who was who. After 10 minutes i really didn't care and laid back down again.

[The Villa Werewolf]

The annoying thing is that that kit normally has navy blue shorts. Here's a pic from the launch of it last year:



Why did they make the deliberate decision to wear white shorts instead?!

Don't see why you had trouble today? Surely you just looked at the team that was attacking and assumed it to be City!

[Ian.]

I was in charge of the roast dinner so had one eye on the match and not my full concentration. At one point I thought we were attacking from a corner but we were defending it.
I'm glad it was't just me then who was getting confused.
