Because of that I like Mariner and Rafferty, for me they could have played "au naturel" and they would still be my favourite duo. :twisted: :greensmile: :twisted:
Would be great to publish a New Book .....
“The History Of The Argyle Shirt”
I see Spurs are doing one to be released soon

Why would Spurs do that. Surely they'd publish a book on their own shirts !

But that's it exactly GA84, when do you ever see Spurs playing in anything other than a white shirt, or Liverpool and Man Utd playing in anything other than a red shirt or Arsenal playing in anything other than a red shirt with white sleeves!
So let’s see if I can find one of contacts interested in writing and publishing

The answer to the question about Spurs is 'before 1898'.
It's clear that fashions in kits change - Arsenal's white sleeves are thought to have been inspired by the groundsman wearing a white shirt under a sleeveless red sweater while mowing the pitch; Liverpool did not go into red shorts until 1964 - Chelsea went into all blue at about the same time, suggesting that coloured shorts had not been so readily available.
I like the two green and white kits but not the yellow one - I don't see any need for an Argyle kit (home or away) to have any colours others than green, black and white. I also prefer the socks to match the shirt and not the shorts - but that is just being fussy isn't it? The two kits at either side are excellent - so much better than this year's two.
The current shade of green at Argyle (from 2001) was chosen because it was thought to go well with blue denim in leisure wear. I always thought that the correct shade of Argyle green - used from after the Second World War until 2001 - albeit in various configurations - was Kelly green - helpfully modelled here:

It goes perfectly well with denim:

However, shades of green are obviously a specialist subject:
