Product Description
The Hamlet have typically worn white or yellow second kits, we ruled these colours out feeling the risk of clashes was too high. We looked to clubs who feature in our history, settling on Red Star FC. We couldn’t think of any likely opponents wearing green and blue, so ran with it. Les verts et blancs are a club Hamlet fans enjoy a good relationship with, following a visit there by the late Mishi Morath. Red Star fans actively protested against their club being taken over by 777 Partners. 777’s collapse last season saw Red Star face serious challenges. We wish our friends over the water well.
All green was out, due to colour blindness. Halves contained too much white, risking clashes. Quarters nearly won but there was a feeling that as we're blessed with a “who’s that?” kit when people see a Hamlet fan, why not do the same with the second kit? With Liverpool having worn green and white quarters recently, we decided to do something no-one could mistake for a Premier League club. The check pattern also contrasts well with most other kits.
