Notable Mash-Ups: at Bradford (1995/96)

v. Bradford (1995/96)

An unusual but nonetheless lovely all-maroon away kit necessitated a third kit in 1995/96, primarily for use at Bradford, whose claret and amber colourway ruled out both our primary and secondary choice kits. An all-white third kit was produced, one never made commercially available, and curiously one never used in the planned configuration.

There was no sock clash, since the Bantams wore black socks at home, yet the Tigers elected to wear the amber sock of the home kit at Valley Parade in a 1-1 draw. The only time the full third kit was worn was in the squad photo, by the coaching staff and physiotherapist.
