So if I've interpreted that correctly they only have trouble with teams like Germany who have a predominantly light top and predominantly dark shorts, but are fine with teams like Colombia who have a yellow top and white shorts as both colours are classed as 'light'. So I suppose that means Australia will likely have an all yellow kit. So many teams that are going to look terrible without their traditional coloured shorts, Brazil, Argentina and Spain spring to mind. Edited by gooner4life_8: 13/11/2013 04:07:33 PM My interpretation is basically, you cant be like WSW. Have a red and black home top and then have a red and white away top. You must have different colour kits as has always been the case. Well obviously you have two have two kits that are different - the likes of WSW and Heart are just ridiculous, but FIFA are going one further for this WC in saying that kits don't just simply have to be different colours, they also have to be different shades - one 'dark' and one 'light' and you can't have a kit with both light and dark colours. No idea how they class 'light' and 'dark' colours though. I'd have thought Spain may possibly be alright with a red top and blue shorts but obviously not. Also Sweden's leaked kit has blue shorts, maybe if they actually qualify for the WC they'll have to wear another colour :? It's all really quite ridiculous. Edited by gooner4life_8: 14/11/2013 04:10:06 PM I play ultimate frisbee fairly regularly. Every ultimate player knows when you go to an ultimate game, bring a light & dark shirt. Light usually means white, light grey, light blue, yellow, etc & dark means most colours. FIFA aren't attempting to head for all one colour strips. Having dark shorts is not an issue. Pretty sure FIFA law dictates that shorts are actually allowed to clash, but shirts & socks aren't. The scenario FIFA is trying to avoid is what Juventus and Newcastle United have - a light & dark two-toned jersey. It's neither light nor dark, and it's what they want to eradicate from the game.
