Black kits

League rule on black kits by the way, hotshots wore predominantly black and the ref asked us for a bib !

that's good of the ref to be honest. Black kits not allowed.

Hotshots have always used that kit but it was always gonna cause problems

Had same issue in pre-season friendly against hotshots, think mark ended up reffing the game in a T-shirt!! Although I think black kits should be allowed! Teams have to have a home and away kits so why shouldn't a ref haha

Lol, to be fair when hotshots started 3 seasons ago I'm sure the league said it would be ok! Sure that's wat hotshots gaffa told me as we clashed with there keeper cos he had a pink kit!

laws of the game

The players must wear colours that distinguish themselves from opposition and referee and assistants

FA rules
referees should wear all black kit or black with a white trim..
only league referees can wear different coloured shirts...

Alliance league rules
teams shall not wear black or dark coloured kit....



hotshots played in green and white hoops last week on pitch at side of me....

been asked to post on this as our manager isnt able to get online..

He said he went to the league before ordering our kit with a photo of it, and it was approved by the league.

He said if the league are changing their mind then on the decision then an identical kit should be provided in different colours, hardly our fault the minds have changed? Funds to replace it are simply not available.

Again this is a message from our manager so your replys wont be taken on board by me!

before people say rules are rules etc, then why was it originally approved?

kit was ok by alliance league when i set club up 3 years ok, I gave them a photo of kit and it was said to me that is ok to play in. we did have a green/white kit but it is passed its sell by date. we will get a new kit if league buy it as are sponsor payed £600 for it, so its up to league to sort out as, KIT WAS OK BY THEM THATS WHY WE GOT IT.

Oh that sounds like someone else's kit....

that's a completely different green/white kit!

Would it be too much to ask fo r officals to have 3 diffrent coloured tops to cover all bases!?! I mean after we all we must have the correct tape!?!

Timmy
FA rules say that a referee at this level of the game has to wear black,,,

A red Magna bib as I recall

Knew it wasn't a black refs top lol

Ok well if so then why have I previously been involved in games where the ref has worn both yelkow and blue tops? Surely contradiction!? Referees own choice of attire that they turned up in might I add!?

So the league approved this black kit then??

yes think I heard back in the day it had been approved as I reffed Hotshots once

We where in the leicester mercury in our black kit last year!? Did this go through the league press officer or something!? I find it strange its suddenly a massive issue!? Sanctioned by the league the black kit has always been our home kit from the start 3 seasons ago

a referee wearing any different coloured top to black can, and have been, be in trouble with county fa

so exactly where is the issue if we where told we could wear it before please feel free to explain why as I'm sure you understand our sponsor was very generous in purchasing the kit which I suppose will now become redundant, so I feel he deserves an explanation

So the league have approved this surely the rule/law needs amending inline with your decision?

What's all the fuss about anyway! To be honest we had no issue with it when we played thewm, they are distinguished from the ref because if I remember rightly there's a big bloody green stripe on it, plus the numbers on the back help you work it out a bit haha I'd quite like a black kit, ala mean machine

Thought this has always been a rule that u cnt have a black kit, the kit we had last year was black at the bk think fieldy checked it wiv the league b4 ordering it

I would like a black kit purely because black is a slimming colour

It has nothing to do with the league, The Referee is in charge of the game not the League, the laws of the game state that team colours must be different from the match officials so if the Ref says change the kit or i'm not allowing the game to go ahead he would be in his right to do so, Hotshots are fools for getting a black kit and if the league allowed it they are just as bad,simple

GT also played in all black, with yellow trim at Dunley Way earlier this season.

The referee ended up wearing one of our royal blue training tops.

Black Kits are class as well. We wanted one a few seasons back but MDH said we weren't allowed.

On the subject of kits, why do some teams have god awful kits? Who picks them? I personally think our kit is class, I like S & G's, Frolesworth, Moshdocks, they've all got a bit of imagination to them and look smart.

Who has the worst kit in the league? I personally think GT's all purple kit is woeful.

Kinnell...... its the alliance leagues very own Gok Wan.

any pink kit should be outlawed, let alone black

I hear he's Director of Football at Reem Team?

We only got a pink kit when we first started to save having to buy a 2nd kit! Obviously now we are into our 3rd season we have invested in a new kit but first game this season we clashed with trinderbox and had to dig out the pink kit! Always funny looking at the opposition after they lost to a team in pink ;-)

pink was the original colour of boys in victorian times, girls always wore blue, pink was selected for boys, as it is a lighter shade of red, and red was wore by men as a colour of strength, but even if reem team did wear pink, they would still look like a load of pansies, they're far too camp to get away with it....

county cup rules
11. CLUB COLOURS
(a) Where the Colours (shirts, shorts or stockings) of the two competing Clubs are similar (as
determined by the Competitions Committee), the Away Club must change.
In a Semi-Final or Final tie in the event of colour clash both competing teams will change.
(b) In the event of the Clubs not agreeing upon the colours to be worn, the Competitions
Committee shall decide. Goalkeepers must wear colours which distinguish them from the
other players, and the Match Officials.
(c) Clubs’ colours must not clash with the black and white outfit worn by Match Officials.
(d)
