We took just our White shorts apparently. Don't think it's anything to do with TV requirements, more like CCC following the Prem's lead for no colour clash anywhere.
When I was a lad (!), both teams often wore the same colour shorts - only the shirt colour changed.
[cite]Posted By: Kap10[/cite]Heard that the shorts had extra strong starch in them to restrict Charlton players ability to chase and leap. Varney to lodge complaint with FA.
I thought this a bit strange as the ref at Cardiff seemed happy enough with both sides wearing white shorts. When i was refereeing we always said socks were more important to see whos leg the ball came off through a ruck of players or when two players were sliding for the ball.

Yes we did wear Palarse kit and we also wore Sheff Weds kit at Sheff Utd as we had FADS on our shirts in the days before the TV would allow to show shirt sponsorship.

Good spot, Stone.
I knew 2 teams could play with the same colour shorts when I was a mere stripling of a lad. I just didn't realise those days were only 2 weeks ago. ;o)

Which one of you is that asking the question? :- )
We shamefully wore a Palace kit at Selhurst pre-ground share. Pastel blue with that stupid diagonal stripe. I may vomit.
