goldentatas Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 One of the things that has niggled me over the last couple of instalments of FM is the fact that when i play as Man City we never seem to wear our away or third strip , i understand that you have to wear them so many times in a season by premier league rules but in the game i'm lucky if i play in it once a season. Is their anything i can do to change that. I know it seems irrelevant but it really niggles me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonBlade Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Change the first kit to something that clashes with everyone elses? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eles Gergo Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 maybe the blue is effective against all other colors or you feel that this is a bug then report it on the bugs forum (it will be a bug if you play against let's say celta vigo and your first kit colors match ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCIAG Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I don't think there is such a rule. For example, Reading and Preston can force the opposition to wear their away kit if there's a clash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldentatas Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 I read somewhere that premier league rules state that an away kit has to be worn a certain number of times in a season, think it was 6 but also no more than 8 or 9. deffo read it somewhere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't recall any season where Newcastle has worn their away kit any more that 3 times. They didn't even wear it when they played Sunderland (who are red and white stripes) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianQuinn Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 i know in the champions league you have to wear your away or third kit (not sure which one) at least twice Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCIAG Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 That's actually just an urban legend. No, the urban legend is that it's an urban legend. Eles: Preston were the first ever winners of the FA Cup iirc (or was it the League?). Reading are in the Royal County of Berkshire (hence the nickname). Pompey are allowed to for FA Cup matches, too.

TheInvisibleMan Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I'm a Man City fan and they never play in their away kit or third kit on FM! It's really annoying. It's because the blue that is used on the team bar is too light to clash with any other blues in the EPL but too dark to clash with the white ones. It's rather annoying and does need fixing. Our kits this year are great and we need to use them on FM To solve it, i edited the colour of the home kit to make it a bit darker in an unofficial database which solved it. We now play in our away (red and black for 08/09) but never the orange one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
philly_flyer10 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Id like to be able to pick what kit to wear, Ive played several games where the dots were exactly the same as the opposition making it impossible to work out what was going on.

TheInvisibleMan Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I wonder if anyone at SI knows of this annoying problem and if it has been fixed for 09? I hear Miles has been playing as Man City alot to test the finances Will be interesting to see their budget on Sunday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmytom Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 TNS in Wales have to wear their away kit, the Oswestry Town kit, at away games, I think thats correct. I think the rule of having to wear aways kits a certain amount of times is less of a rule, and more of a merchandising drive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniell Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I'd like to be able to choose which kit my team wears in a game, would be purely cosmetic but would solve the occasional clash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
