️ THE HAWTHORNS

SKY SPORTS PREMIER LEAGUE
Let’s end the year with a bang! The last time we played a league match on NYE was in 2011/12. We beat QPR at home 1-0 with van Persie scoring his 34th and last goal of 2011.
West Brom have two mascots, and the guy who used to play the other one - Albi - just died…Gunnersaurus would have to be a bit of a dick to not let the Baggies have this one!
Looking at the hair styles, it looks like the early eighties.
If that is Arsenal, I certainly don’t remember us wearing red shorts.
I know Rotherham used to have a similar kit as us.
The only reason I can think of, is if the kit man forgot the white shorts and we had to borrow some of the opposition team.
Why do they do things like that. If there’s a clash just wear a different kit that doesn’t clash. We have three full kits that are massively different to each other and we still end up with stupid mix and match combinations.
Interestingly, there has been no such problem in recent years, with Gunners playing in red shirts and white shorts on numerous occasions at the Hawthorns
They even beat the Midlands side 2-0 as recently as September, with both teams in their home kits.
