Abernethy Saint Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 Almost on topic (actually not on topic at all, but feck all else is happening) is the amusing story that Liechtenstein and Haiti both designed and adopted, independently and by chance, exactly the same National flag. Nobody noticed until the 1936 Olympics. Liechtenstein heroically volunteered to change theirs by adding a crown. blueheaven and south inch 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this shirt would have been even worse TBH: https://dundeefc.co.uk/news/away-kit-revealed/ But yeah, I think it would have helped if Saints had worn blue-white-white and Dundee had worn dark blue-dark blue-dark blue.

HOODLUM65 Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 The clash of strip colours was confusing, especially when play was on the opposite side of the pitch. Made it worse as both teams were heading towards the Dundee goal. south inch and Stumpy1949 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cagey Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 23 hours ago, south inch said: During the 2016 Olympics I chanced upon a basketball match between Jamaica and Australia. The kits being worn were very similar as the national colours of both countries major on greens and yellows. Heroically avoiding the obvious way to tell the players apart the commentator advised us that the easy way to identify the Jamaican girls was by the yellow stripes on their skirts. Just happened across woman's basketball !. Next it will be the clash of colours in beach volleyball. south inch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 Noticed on Saturday the Ormond was empty. Wouldn't have thought that it was incase there was a demand from Dundee. It may be to save money on catering staff. There were a few people coming into East that weren't sure where their seat was. It might be that there are a few more coming to games that didn't buy a ST. I would have thought if families were moved it would be to Main. Wonder where Dundee family fans were seated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 (edited) I mentioned the strip colour being too similar on here as soon as it kicked off. Think the rain probably made our blue look even darker as well. Couldnt see who was who very clearly on tv. The previous week both the Hibs keeper and ref were wearing all black. Dont know why those games were allowed to go ahead like that. We shouldnt have had to but could have worn the away kit or last seasons.

Feels like the SPFL has really taken its eye off the ball on this subject. I still don't really understand how Saints were allowed to get away with last season's away kit, and now this from Dundee. I saw that World Rugby announced yesterday they're banning teams in red from playing against teams in green, because of the issues it can cause for colour blind fans. 14 hours ago, Cagey said: There were a few people coming into East that weren't sure where their seat was. We had the same thing near us on Saturday. Don't think I'll ever understand why a lot of people seem to have so much difficulty finding their seat!

Saints were allowed to have last seasons kit just seems they werent allowed to always play in it or someone took the sensible decision not to. They were lucky that they had the previous seasons and the same sponsors etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it would be fun but I think Celtic's 1st choice kit is too distinctive to fall foul of such a ban. Hibs would just have to suck it up though they don't have enough clout.

So Celtic would be fine, but Hibs possibly not (although I'm not sure if their white sleeves would be enough for them to get around it).
