We've had far too many blue away kits in recent years, it's time for someone to take a proper crack at creating a modern version of that green and purple one. I liked the nod to it on this year's away kit, but that kit was cursed so we will not speak of it any further. Of course that was the first shirt I'd bought in years. Shit, maybe I'm the one who cursed it.
Sorry lads.
Our last blue away shirt was in the 10-11 season. We had a run of blue away shirts in a short period (07-08, 09-10 and 10-11). Other than that we've not had a blue away shirt this century, although we have had four blue third kits
17/18 was blue away
My mistake, Football Shirt History has that down as our third kit for some reason and the white kit we wore on the Ireland tour as the away kit, which is clearly wrong. MY point still stands though, only 2 blue away kits in 10 years isn't "too many blue kits recently", unless any blue kit is a a blue kit too many.
I'm not advocating for a blue away kit by the way. My favourite away kits have always been white ones.
Don't think they're the wrong way round, the purple one became the away shirt I'm sure. Was the 3rd shirt the year before when it had Uni of Greenwich as sponsor. That Ireland tour shirt wasn't the 3rd shirt for 17/18 though so shouldn't even be there.
You're thinking of the black and blue striped third kit that we never wore. Those kits were made by Nike. This is all correct:
Many goalkeepers believe that a garish colour scheme means that strikers with no time to think instinctively aim for it. Based on Rob Elliot answering a question from my son at a Q&A. As first choice he got to choose and said he would always go as bright as possible. I think he also said this was from a US based study.
I used to manage a boys football team. I always got the keeper the brightest possible kit for just this reason. I wanted the opposition to see him and be very aware of him as I felt it made the goal look smaller and wanted the opposition to know he was there.

Explains why we let Peterborough thump us 4-0 in that game with Magennis missing a penalty (?)!!

Me too. My son was our keeper and is pretty good. He was at the Spurs Academy. I always tried to encourage him to wear bright colours but he didn't buy into it. Rinat - a Mexican company specialising in keepers are great for this. I bought him a shirt on ebay which cost me loads as customs decided I needed to pay duty on it! You needed sun glasses to look at it. But he hardly wore it.
Was this 3rd shirt never worn in a competitive match then? I don't remember. It was made available to purchase wasn't it? If so that's now twice in 4 seasons we've sold a kit that hasn't been used.

@randy andy must be coloured blind, or a boycotter.
OK, on the subject of fugly kits, I could have sworn we had a really horrendous third kit (or possibly goalie kit?) in the 90s, but I can't seem to find a record of it anywhere now. Had a sort of zigzag pattern across the front, a bit like the Wigan kit below. Does anyone remember this, or have I completely hallucinated it?

This one I presume you mean? Wasn't a replica shirt.
