On the subject of the pink kit... I really don't see what the problem is. Pink is a perfectly reasonable colour and it is actually a very sensible colour for a second/third kit as it doesn't clash with other teams.
Many years ago (~30) when I was based in Menai Bridge I played for Bangor City Hockey Club (I was a goalscoring centre-forward once described in the press as the 'Ian Rush of the North Wales Hockey League', although admittedly this was in the Bangor Chronicle is a match report written by a member of my team...). Anyway, we won promotion to the Premier League and after our AGM/end of season dinner that summer conversation turned to the fact that, at that level, we would have to play in numbered shirts. As we were a small club with no money, we couldn't afford two sets of numbered kit (home/away) and we came up with the idea of completely changing our colours so as to avoid clashes with every other team that was in the league. We went through all of the kits and after lengthy, and admittedly somewhat drunken, discussion we settled on a shift from our existing colours, which were dark blue and light blue quarters, to a wonderful new colour combo: pink and grey quarters. And so that became our kit - we played the next season in pink and grey, getting soundly beaten in many of our games. I left North Wales soon after that season in 1992 when I moved to Plymouth. I have no idea what colours Bangor City HC play in these days but it would be amusing if it was still pink and grey. If so, I suspect that no-one there has a clue why!
[P.S. Yes, yes, I know this has nothing really to do with Argyle or this thread, but this is PASOTI...]
[P.P.S. I've checked, BCHC now play in light blue shirts with dark blue sleeves - shame on them]
