Someone on Facebook posted a picture of the Blues v Chelsea 1968 FA Cup QF, which provoked the usual discussion about why both teams played in their away kit (answer: at the time it was an FA rule/law that in the event of a kit clash, BOTH sides had to change into their second kit). In order to illustrate this rule/law, someone else posted the following, which I'm sure would have caused apoplexy if it had been tried at any time in the last 40 years:  |

I would vom if our players wore claret and blue Absolutely. It's a horrible colour combination. I really dislike teams wearing it at St Andrews. |

And exactly the same thing happened the next time we reached the quarter finals, in 1972. We played in all-white, Huddersfield in yellow and blue.I think the law/rule was changed the following year so that only the away team had to change kit. |

"I'm sure [it] would have caused apoplexy if it had been tried at any time in the last 40 years." I was right then. The thing is, in the 1950s people had more important things to worry about than what colours their football teams had to wear very occasionally. We are lucky, aren't we? |
