X-isle - it is physically obvious, the shade is too dark.
This is not the first season since being in dark green, we have had to switch to a lighter colour, because fans, players and managers considered the visibility of dark shirts a problem.
Firstly, as much as I love green and black stripes from the seventies promotion season, We switched to green and white stripes for the 2nd half, because the all green/black was considered too dark.
Secondly and more significantly, following the imposition of the dreaded dark green, we switched to white for an evening game during Sturrock's 2nd reign, because all parties considered it too dark.Incidentally, we played really well that night against a top of the table Birmingham. So saying the Blackpool defeat was partly caused by the all white - is rubbish. Basically Blackpool was a shocker full stop.
The last time England played Germany away and won 3-2. The Germans wore a dark green shirt and again this was universally sighted as a bad choice re visibility.
There is a reason why very few clubs wear dark shirts, simply not good for visibility. Particularly not helped by the current poor lighting on the Mayflower side.
I agree with you totally regards random 'foreign' colours being imposed as terrible away kits in recent years, but the same commercialism argument stands for why the hell was dark green imposed with no consultation.
Emerald green and white stripes and black trim, white shorts, and green/black hoop socks would work, re both visibility and ensuring all 3 club colours are featured
