Why Red numbers on the away kit?

[CheshireHoopJunior]

Surely white numbers would be better on kit that is red/black halved!

[cheshirehoop]

it is abit unusual ,but think it looked ok

Is this the Cheshire v Cheshire thread

Red numbers on a red shirt just looks weird though.

I think they look quite good up close but difficult to see from the back of a stand.

Agree Macca, up close they're actually not that bad and are a different shade of red, paler, not good from a distance though and difficult for commentators, but then again when do we ever get put on TV.
Oh and before anyone points out, i know we are on against Bristol City but we'll be wearing hoops that day anyway.

I thought it strange as well. It is absolutely impossible to see numbers from a distance (which makes it worse on an away shirt as we are always at one end and so a way off half the action). But I guess they've done it with the replica sales in mind. White would stand out like a sore thumb. Garishly so when your only in the pub. Gold would have been a better option.

Posted the same on Wednesday morning. From Row O at Portman Road, I certainly couldn't make out the numbers so neither could a TV commentator if a game was televised live.

White or Gold numbers on that kit need to be sorted.

Looks like there is a gold edging around the numbers and names, but it still doesn't make it clearly visible.

I would think the Red & Black but don;t know for defo

[stanistheman]

Red on red even with if a few shades lighter with gold lining is wrong. I would have thought white or even yellow would be much easier to see.

it is to confuse the opposition
they'll all be going like, is that 7, 9?
10, 11? It's camouflage, so they don't know who to mark.
