I'm trying to think (it is hurting) but is there any other team in the Football League or Premiership that play in exactly the same combo of colours?

I know there are plenty with red and white shorts but are there any others with red and black? Are we unique in that respect? Riddle me this... 4228682415

They play in a mix depending on the oppositions colours which I find strange but they contrast it.

Yeah I know but every time I see them they are wearing black shorts. Have they been subliminally rebranded?

A lot of teams change shorts depending on opposition (I notice Barnsley did it against Swansea) but I think United are generally regarded as having white shorts.

Bournemouth are red and black too, but they are stripes aren't they? Not quite the same.

I'm curious to know as obviously when we had blue/white/blue we had a few dead ringers (Everton, Ipswich, Leicester etc) but I don't think anybody quite matches our red/black/red combo. If that's right, then we have a unique kit for the first time since 1908 with no chance of ever being mistaken for another team again.

Quite nice, if you ask me.

Hmm, well if you discount stripes/hoops. then yes, I believe we are.
