Er, yes we do.

Away (RDP12) - Red, white and black hoops
Away (HCup) - Blue

I thought the visitors were given first choice of shirt colour?

I can see however, how the white and yellow could become a bit of a problem.

So they did Fuzzy, had forgotten that.

The French have a bit of history in screwing teams about over shirts. IN 2008 HC Final Toulouse won the coin toss for shirt choice and having worn black in every match elected to wear red so that Munster had to wear their navy shirt.

Backfired/had no effect of course as Munster won in navy, just like they had won 2 years previously against Biarritz - again in navy.

Don't be thick.

We don't have a red shirt... Blue is Heiny away kit this year, stripey shirt is RABO away

Thats what I thought Jackie. Who in UR said we were in red anyhow?

In the first post on this page lies the answer. I emailed PR and media to enquire about shirt colour and if they had any flegs for Boys on Tour to wave.

Must be the red shirt we work against Quins in last years pre season friendly over in Ingerland.

Can see why teams where "away shirts" for contractual reasons but for the life of me I can't see why fans do it.

Better to wear white regardless imo.

You clearly don't enjoy kebabs.

I do as it 'appens.

Don't usually get them on me shirt though.

My "technique " does play havoc with the oul suede hush puppies though

Can somebody clear this up for me please. Is Clermont's home kit white or yellow? I always thought it was yellow, then they played in white against Leicester. I thought it was a Heineken kit or something, but then I saw them wearing it again at home vs Toulon in the Top14. Can anybody answer this for me please?

Yes Ruck, appears they have declared their white kit their "home" ERC shirt http://www.ercrugby.com/eng/matchcentre ... vergne.php

There's a whole host of reasons considered by the average Ulsterman in choosing shirt colour:

• Facial skin complexion
  Eye Colour
  Colour of favourite britches
  Type and colour of favourite shoes
  Hair Colour

etc etc
