We need to have a serious discussion about the stupid kit rule of UEFA and FIFA in NT competition, and the dangerous trend developing:
UEFA FIFA have imposed team to dress in color block, preferably one team in a light color block, the other in a dark one. Supposedly that makes it easier for fans with sight problems or so...
Well, the problem is that this regulation is RIDICULOUS and blown over the top, exaggerating the potentially minor existing problems for people with sight issues.
Recently, we watched a WC final (Argentina France) where BOTH teams COULD have worn their 1st kit without any problem because there was no clash whatsoever. In this tournament, England has played only once in their default navy shorts. Germany is OUT and NEVER got to wear their 1st kit black shorts, even though they played against teams like Switzerland (!) or Denmark (!) with red and white 1st kit shorts respectively.
France are yet to wear their 1st TRICOLOR kit in this tournament. Same with Argentina in Copa America always wearing white shorts
We even saw Spain FFS in the Qatar WC to wear red shorts!
Someone has to put an end to this madness.
It erodes the history of the National teams. Kits represent a history and a tradition and they are not a child's play to mess up at will.
England shorts are NAVY, full stop
Spain shorts are NAVY, full stop
Argentina shorts are BLACK, full stop
Germany shorts are BLACK
They should ONLY change when it's absolutely necessary and there is a real color clash!
STOP IT NOW!
