What color combinations do you often not see in the world of football...
A bong told me there's only 1 club in bongland wears claret & amber
No offense but Americans don't count, you are a special country. Your teams are just made up and pick some colours that aren't used already, and you have like 30 teams in the whole country
Now in countries where football developed in a natural way, for some reason there aren't many clubs here that use the colour black, which is common in Italy and England
Also, something that isn't very common are horizontal stripes, maybe it's because that's what rugby teams used, while football used vertical stripes
Close, though
Depends on the team. Seattle has a long history in soccer, as does Kansas City. We're a growing football nation, having better stadium attendance than Ligue 1, Serie A, and Eredevisie. Sure, it's going to be awhile until we have a centennial, but eh.
That's an interesting point about the rugby using horizontal and the soccer using vertical. It's the predominant way, but not exclusive.
I know, you also have bigger attendances than our league and it's not all soimemers like Yea Forums says, some teams like Atlanta have great crowds
Just saying your teams didn't develop in a natural way, like being social clubs of coworkers or neighbours that created a football team to play against the guys from the club in front of them over 100 years ago
>sounder blue
just call it blue the colors don’t need a lore dump and an alliterative name to attract soiboi reporters
well in brazil there are a lot of teams that use black, so i don't really know.
not enough brown
This. Most common colours are blue, red, green, yellow and white.
Most common pattern, by far, are vertical stripes, followed by plain shirt.
The most stereotypical shirt imo would be plain red or striped red and white.
If a team has had historical success in a league, some teams will "inspire" their kit on it, and you'll see an overrepresentation of said pattern/colors in a particular league i.e. the blaugrana after Barcelona (Eibar, Levante, etc.), the diagonal stripe after River Plate (Banfield, Arsenal de Sarandí)
My favorite jersey has always been Aston Villa's.
Barca copied the red and blue from Basel
You don't really see brown much at all.
there is a brown team here, used to play in the first division a few decades ago
Not bad looking kits, really.
this is where David Trezeguet debuted
Not enough purple, who else besides Fiorentina and Anderlecht uses it?
from the top of my head, Fénix (Uruguay), Real Valladolid (Spain)
P L A T E N S E
Grey and black is a kino combination t b h
Why don't Brits use green? Is it because it's an Irish thing?
Not even the Cleveland BROWNS use much brown in their uniforms... That´s odd
Purple is the color of royalty. Until synthetic purple dye was invented, it was hard to get. It’s also a hard color to look good in. In baseball, there are so many century old teams that have blue, red, or both blue and red in their color scheme, because those are two relatively cheap dyes, and those teams have kept those colors. I assume the same for soccer, as the historical teams kept their colors.
>No offense but Americans don't count, you are a special country. Your teams are just made up and pick some colours that aren't used already, and you have like 30 teams in the whole country
11,920,000 people play soccer in the USA, bud.
That's greater than the population of Greece or Belgium or Portugal or Sweden or the Czech Republic or Switzerland ...
Aue, Osnabrück, TeBe Berlin
St. Pauli, FT Braunschweig
Yeah purple and brown aren't used as much. Brown and purple aren't seen in flags and badges of German cities or former German states where many colours originate. Also let's be honest, purple looks gay and brown looks like shit. Nobody wants to look like that.
>there aren't many clubs here that use the colour
Thinking about it, black is commonly used over here, but it's always just a supporting colour and never seems to be the primary one.
would like to see more purple or bright blue, maybe silver.
>Thinking about it, black is commonly used over here, but it's always just a supporting colour and never seems to be the primary one.
He wrote on the eve of Eintracht Frankfurt's EL tie with Chelsea.
Purple can be found easily in portuguese and spanish city flags and/or coat-of-arms. Examples: Coimbra, Setúbal, Funchal, Oeiras, Málaga, Palma de Mallorca, Cádiz, Jaén, Ávila, Toledo, Palencia, Guadalajara (Spain), etc
>Teams are just made up
I guess European and South American teams were created by the big bang
Real Madrid away color was purple until Adidas decided that fuck all and started making it blue
As someone else said, Valladolid has always wear white and purple stripes. Malaga used to wear purple in their away kits, mixed with green (those are the flag colors).
And recently, Arsenal had a terrible purple/black kit, and also Spurs wore an all purple away kit.
>Daily dose
Thanks, Doc!
yes yes
the colours of the team i used to play for as a kid were green and purple
don't mind me just posting the GOAT logo and color scheme
Secretly, that's my favourite colour combination, but I don't want to be called a puff for liking a gay colour.
lmoa fucking poofter
Oh no
11,920,000 people and they all suck lmao
Does this count as my daily dose?
Not enough pink, I can only think of Palermo that wears it
Boca Juniors had a pink alternative kit for a season, and they got shit for it by the repressed homos that think pink is gay or something.
is there anything worse than the 70s
Calgary Hitmen used to wear pink
soccer is a girl's sport
>haha nice cope seething fat retard you just say th-
>MLS teams all created by millionaires not starting as club as most European team

A U.S. college football team painted their visiting locker room pink because apparently some bro science says it makes you less aggressive
Literally has nothing to do with what he said. I'm sick of retarded Canadians shitting up this board.
Grey/silver isn't used enough outside of the occasional Liverpool away kit. Maybe because when Man U did it they claimed it made them invisible.
based and pavlovpilled
Agreed. I am a fan of Orlando city's use of purple
Bullshit. Argie football =/= rest of world football
>Yellow comoom
So few yellow teams here, you have this impression because Boca Jr and Rosario central
>black uncommon
Huehe here we have lot of white black and red black teams, uncommon colours is pink, brown, purple, grey and orange
>Horizontal stripes is rugby stuff
Pic related
>which leads to more distinct color schemes than yet another red-white striped kit
Based marketing directors
Cerezo Osaka in J-League.
Lilac is uncommon, only Legnano (a little italian club) wear it
Sounders are just using the same colors used for the other Seattle teams. Might as well be a city color by now.
How good silver kits are depends entirely on the material. Port adelaide's alternate jumper is not terrible.
Alot of teams here have red and white as their home kit. This is a really common combination everywhere, for some reason, but in the Netherlands it is used especially often. Off the top of my head: Ajax, Feyenoord, PSV, Utrechf, Emmen, AZ, Willem II (with blue added) and this is only in the top flight. Then there are more unusual combinations which I rarely see, but are quite popular here, like yellow and black (NAC, Vitesse, VVV) and yellow and green (ADO and Fortuna Sittard). Can't really think of any top flight football clubs outside holland that use these schemes. Anyone who does?
Go Ahead Eagles is the most based club in the Eredevisie and have the most unique kits. Yellow and Black is common, Dortmund, Young Boys, Chelsea have had yellow/black kits as well. Yellow and green.. I can't really think of anyone outside of Norwich and African teams.
yellow and Green is Norwich, yellow and black is Young Boys Bern, but I agree that they are fairly uncommon
yellow and green: aldovisi, defensa y justicia, norwich, kuban krasnodar, club leon
yellow and black: columbus crew, borussia dortmund
Nantes uses yellow and green too.
Juve used to wear pink as alternate and it is present in the next home shirt too. I hope the
new away one is pink, because kino color
>this flag
>that fucking post
classic case of >let me teach you about your country
did you dense burger ever see their badge? a red eagle on white in a red circle? did you ever care to check their kits in the past? the most common is red with black stripes. black as a supporting color. and away kits are... creative... but mostly white. yes, black is just a supporting color for red. that's often the case in combinations with the prussian colors black and white in germany. black and white: supporting, 3rd color: main.
Toulouse
RC Lens ("blood and gold")
There are no teams with black as primary color simply because referees were all black until 94.
After the WC, some teams start introducing black as away color.
Maribor
My point was their kits are full black right now. Good lord, calm your tits.
Austria wein, Maribor, sanfrecce Hiroshima, osnabruck, Perth glory. But yeah, not a lot in the upper tiers.
Hope Catania goes up and Venezia stays up honestly lads
Red dye is an easy color to find in nature. Many older teams, regardless of the sport, used it. It why baseball had many red teams.
they use it
iirc plymouth was the only english team to use green for a long time.
>Literally has nothing to do with what he said.
You're mistaken, my semi-literate manlet friend.
He said there are 30 teams in the USA.
>If 11.9 million people play soccer in the USA
>and there are 30 teams
that means
>there are almost 40,000 people on each team
does that seem accurate to you?
tl;dr he said something dumb and I corrected him, using facts
Green/Purple
Who even likes uniforms that are neon colors? They look like shit in HD.
Celtic and Hibernian in Scotland too.
Arsenal had a weird blue/green kit in the 80s
And this season Brighton has a green one if I am not confusing them with another PL team.
Thanks Doc.
Black, orange and green
spooky
>their team's kit has colors
disgusting
>>European Clubs chose colors with significant to their town, have long history and tradition built around their color
you're being pretty ignorant if you think most american sports teams aren't like this as well
Does your country have a team with a checkered pattern?
Here we have Sacachispas.
Yes
G'WON HARCHESTER
Isn't this the Germany 7-1 kit?
Vitoria Guimaraes' badge is pure kino
Plymouth and Yeovil are the only English teams i can think of who wear green
Forest Green Rovers
forgot about them and that disgusting lime green they use for their kits. they've only been using for a couple of years though
historicalkits.co.uk
Blame eco-nutter Dale Vince for that.
funny as fuck when the whole team fucked off to greggs to celebrate promotion
Yes, but not many teams do. I can only think of Celtic, Plymouth, Forest Green Rovers and Yeovil who use it as their main colour.
Don't forget Hibernian
They made that kid as homage to Flamengo.
Also Glentoran and The New Saints.
i suppose another reason why green isn't more common for a home kit in england is because for years green was the usual colour to use for the goalkeepers kits.
I actually thought it was frowned upon because the grass is green.
yes, in the third division
For me, its kino
I heard it's because it used to be a thing that wearing green would bring bad luck. A lot of chairmen would come into clubs and demand they started wearing red for example because it's seen as being powerful.
Looks like those weird chocolate peppermints
Red and green is not so common. This is my team in the Australian rugby league. The red and green goes back to when they started playing distric rugby and cricket in this part of Sydney and it's a reference to the waratah bush which is or was endemic to that area and has red and green leaves
red and green should never be seen
Mmm
That's blue & green but it's bullshit anyway
Detroit's badge is absolutely kino. They'll be a welcome addition to the MLS.
Holy shit this Argensimian got trigged easily
He's not wrong though
>lame
u fokin wot m8
>detroit fc
>city already has a football team
>that city is detroit
>a market well known for its love of soccer
I hate europhiles so goddamn much.

>you're only allowed to like one sport.
What about the colours?
Perfectly acceptable, if a bit generic.
>mls
>a sport
The Argentina guy is right American football is bad and the colors are lame.
It draws a big audience, SKC made it the semi-finals of the Champs League, and it's growing quite rapidly. I don't see how having the MLS & NASL is a bad thing, desu.
Nigga is you retarded? We said how it was here, not how it is in the whole world
Like half teams in the Italian league use black, I know lot of teams use black, just saying it's not used here
The colors suck dude.
And what colors would you prefer to see?
>yellow and black
Peñarol
Fluminense
Agropecuario (Arg 2nd)
Go Ahead Eagles isnt in the eredivisie right now, and their kits are butt ugly in my opinion.
Im fucking retarded for forgetting Dortmund, wow
green is a goalies colour
probably because it was hard to see on the TV back in the day
why is there a woman there?
is she the team "relief" manager?
Burnt down building brown and overgrown grass green. Got to represent Detroit properly.
You realize that old north American teams used the same colors Europeans did right? Its just not 1900 anymore so we've updated the looks of our jerseys.
Actually, yeah that seems about right. Going back to when teams were formed there would have been a lot of anti-irish sentiment because of their independence movements and later on the IRA cemented the "Fuck the micks" attitude. Celtic chose green because they wanted to associate themselves with Ireland. Rangers should've worn orange for bants.
Grey is not so common
Ternana
>Grey is not so common
Sadly yeah. A team here had gray/silver - red kits two seasons ago but went back to white - red
Rangers have orange away kits for some seasons
Brown
Orange
Purple
Pink
based and willempilled
Blue and dark blue vertical stripes
Dark blue shorts and socks
Probably my favourite combination
