Samilktray Posted 5 May 2016 Share Posted 5 May 2016 I wish we'd start experimenting with new colours for our away kits tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted 5 May 2016 Share Posted 5 May 2016 You'd be happy if we dropped blue altogether then, as long as we were successful? like we did when we dropped the blue to wear white........... We play in blue, the shirt is blue. Factor in the fact that the sponsor is written in white then there is actually more white on the kit than there is gold! Don't get the issue at all! Some people are so sensitive! It's a blooming blue football kit, chill out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simo86 Posted 5 May 2016 Share Posted 5 May 2016 When I started supporting Leicester in 1994 our colours were Blue primary with white and gold as secondary colours no idea why so many seem to think this is a new concept This Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CityFan 06 Posted 5 May 2016 Share Posted 5 May 2016 I don't mind a little incorporation of the gold/yellow, but I'd certainly like to us to keep the blue and white club colours as much as possible, it's traditional - I do think though we will keep the main two club colours to be honest. The owners have been pretty good in preserving our colours, traditions etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxinNotts Posted 5 May 2016 Share Posted 5 May 2016 When I started supporting Leicester in 1994 our colours were Blue primary with white and gold as secondary colours no idea why so many seem to think this is a new concept This. Even if you look at our 78-79 (?) kit, which Lineker worn, this had a gold admiral badge and a gold city emblem too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychonaut Posted 5 May 2016 Share Posted 5 May 2016 Gold is fine with me - we just achieved the greatest feat in the history of our club wearing gold! I'd prefer the ribbons on the trophy to be blue and gold too - its a little more individual and sets a contrast against last years winners.

NZ_Foxile Posted 5 May 2016 Share Posted 5 May 2016 I posted this in another thread- mentioned in a Guardian article: "Everton are the visitors to the King Power stadium at 5.30pm on Saturday, after which captain Wes Morgan will be awarded with the Premier League trophy decorated with ribbons of blue and yellow - representing the club’s colours and those of Thailand’s royal house." http://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/may/03/leicester-premier-league-winners-celebrate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NZ_Foxile Posted 5 May 2016 Share Posted 5 May 2016 Are people actually not bothered at all about this? I find it very strange. Yes, I am slightly bothered, blue and yellow are not our club colours, the Royal House of Thailand should bear no relevance to our title win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 5 May 2016 Share Posted 5 May 2016 Yes, I am slightly bothered, blue and yellow are not our club colours, the Royal House of Thailand should bear no relevance to our title win Agreed. The club isn't a national Thai treasure I'm afraid and it's weird that people think otherwise in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry - LCFC Posted 5 May 2016 Share Posted 5 May 2016 By using a colour that isn't our own to represent something that isn't directly connected with the club the owners are putting their desire for self promotion ahead of the club's traditions. I'm not going to say that ruins things but I do find it frustrating. We've waited 132 years for a title and people are worried what coloured ribbons we have on the trophy? Our colours should be used to represent our victory. It's inappropriate to use a colour to represent something other than Leicester City. I know some people really are desperate to avoid criticising the owners for anything but I suspect you wouldn't be trivialising this as much if blue was the colour being excluded. They wouldn't be "just colours" then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peach0000 Posted 5 May 2016 Share Posted 5 May 2016 Blue and gold ribbons i could understand as it would make it different from chelsea last season. However I like the idea of blue and yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Langston Posted 5 May 2016 Share Posted 5 May 2016 So we're going to be using a colour that isn't our own to represent something that isn't directly connected with the club. The owners are putting their desire for self promotion ahead of the club's traditions. It's coincidental in this case but you could argue that yellow is one of our colours, too. I still can't get my head around why people are moaning. Neil Buchanan could decorate the trophy with a solution 3 parts water 2 parts glue and a scattering of glitter before shaking off the excess and I couldn't give a shit.

DJ Barry Hammond Posted 5 May 2016 Share Posted 5 May 2016 When you're sponsored by 'King Power' there's going to be some Gold involved on the kit somewhere. its also worth thinking that we are the foxes / we have a link to fox hunting - so gold is probably a better colour to have as an association to that than a deep orange. That and blue and gold looks good together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit it's the best colour they could've used aside from white. Red or green, for example, would've got me rather annoyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torten Posted 5 May 2016 Share Posted 5 May 2016 I quite like the ribbons. Also like the fact that we're probably the only club that will lift the trophy with that specific design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychonaut Posted 5 May 2016 Share Posted 5 May 2016 I see a lot of gold/yellow when I visual our club. The foxes head. I also seem to remember blue/yellow being very prevalent in the 90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
