v. Newcastle (1997/98)

None of our mash-up types really cover this, but MUNKI comes closest. When City went to Newcastle for a Coca-Cola Cup tie in 1997/98, their reward for knocking out Premier League Crystal Palace in the previous round, they played in the all-white away kit. Only the socks were non-standard issue, whereas previously the white socks had amber cuffs and woven SL letters, for this game and this game only, they were black. The ref wore all-black, meaning the kits of the home side, away side and the officials were all in two main colours. You wouldn’t see that these days.
