The Tigers today revealed an amber alternate shorts set in the 2-0 win at Pride Park, pairing them and amber socks with the home shirt.
It was a smart move by kitman John Eyre, as the Argentina blue away shirt doesn’t really provide adequate contrast with the white shirts of Derby County.
The amber socks we’ve seen before, they were used in the pre season friendly against Bradford, but it was a debut for the amber shorts, which are a chromatic inversion of the black home shorts.
City have used amber alternate shorts and socks several times before, in 2001/02 at Lincoln and Luton in November 2011, in 2003/04 at Lincoln and in 2006/07 at Luton.
