because i'm a kitnerd i'm going to bite at this. for clarification - westlakes jersey top is mostly purple, secondary colour bottle green (vertical stripes), and white trim. the mauve you're referring to is on one half of a sponsor logo on the lower back, and we have no control over what our sponsors logos are. purple, green and white is a horrendous colour palette to choose from when desigining the kits (i designed these new ones myself, as the last ones were the most awful things i've ever seen), but the current westlakes committee doesn't feel it is in a position like the newcastle jets or cardiff city (wales) to go changing the clubs colours (particularly after 47 years of wearing them) so we do the best we can with them. and, even though i have bias, i think we've done an amazing job with this new jersey top (big shout out to x-advantage at maitland, too easy to deal with for fully sublimated kits with the best playing material i've ever worn, & works out cheaper than anywhere else, plus cheaper than buying kits off prodirect & getting numbers/logos/etc pressed on afterwards, if prodirect is kind enough to stock your club colours and design you want).Originally Posted by Cabaye#4
sorry if i was attacking charly with the kits, i was under the impression their light blue kit was their main one and the claret was possibly a secondary/away kit. thought it was odd, under that impression, that they'd pick (as i said) the closest colour to purple they could find to wear as a secondary kit. but it's their main one, all good. westlakes have a new away kit ready to be picked up (it's white), we'll wear that to the return leg & avoid any chance of clashing.
to the game, i thought westlakes had the least possession they have had all year (although i didn't get to see medowie last week) and it was pretty upsetting, particularly in the first half, how much we turned the ball over. the second half, charly seemed to really give up. agree while that westlakes could have scored more, the goals they got were helped in by charly. particularly the two last ones, the right footer from outside the box was what should have been so simple for the keeper (he had an off day, yeah?) and the last goal between the defender(s) and the keepers they basically passed it into their own goals.
as true waterboy said, the people yelling that stuff were not apart of the club. but they were briefly spoken to after the game. before charly leave on their high horse, maybe they should remember that one of those families from charly brought a big sign that said "we love dick" on it. while most people can take that in context, i imagine many of the kids in said families aren't smart enough to take it purely in context, and have probably learned a new word to bring to the schoolyard this week #justsayin
