Surely anyone with some common sense would realise that, we AREN'T going to have a 3rd kit the same colour as the 2nd kit...

Because the home kit is white with navy blue trim/detailing.
whereas the away kit is capri with navy blue trim/detailing.
On either kit, the two colours provide a nice contrast...but it's not just two colours on the home kit, we have white, navy blue AND Capri/Cyan/Aquamarine/Duck egg/whatever shade of blue it is (I know, you should see me trying to pick out a paint for the kitchen!).
I'm just of the thinking, if HP don't mind what shade of Blue their logo is (as is the case on the away kit)...could we not have matched the logo on the home kit to the Blue trim?!
Pony did it and they were....er, pony!
supposed third kit
I'm going to give up on this one after this but, if capri blue and navy don't "clash" on the away kit they don't "clash" on the home kit. So the correct statement would be" the away kit is capri w/navy blue trim/detailing and the home kit is white with navy blue and capri blue trim/detailing(counting the sponsor).
It way less of a stretch than having Thompson and Mansion in FUCKING RED on the home shirts. It's a nice kit, the capri blue sponsor is whatever, but sponsors in general are whatever. If we are down to the point to whhere all we have to complain about is the home sponsor logo being made to match the away kit for consistency's sake, then we are doing OK in my opinion.
supposed third kit
because of brand identity!
hp's logo is in fact—gasp—cyan, so it's cyan on the home shirt (as in the only kit that really matters, it's the club's identity). back in the pony days it wasn't so it was a matching navy.
if you were a business that paid a design agency a shitload of money to update your identity and then deployed it worldwide, aaand then paid to be the shirt sponsor for a football team—would you be alright with them changing the colour to suit?
The supposed third kit is just an edited version of this Adidas template.
