Home Kits
There’s far too many teams in red,
(And those that aren’t are blue instead) –
With some in stripes, a hoop or two,
Between the red (or else the blue).
And some are claret, some are sky –
But few will use a diff’rent dye.
So we look ourselves at home –
Yet on the road, we shed our skin.
And the fans will wear our latest polychrome
With a loyal grin –
Any colour, just so long we win.
But here and there, a yellow lurks,
Or gleaming white, which also works,
Or sometimes green, or sometimes gold,
(Or even pink, if feeling bold).
Now black’s a pretty unseen beast
As that’s the ref (or was, at least).
We may look odd away, for sure –
Yet when at home, we bear our crest,
Just like we’ve done a century or more
Upon our chest –
We don the colours that bring out our best.
