BFW Analysis I’ve always had a soft spot for purple and having purple on a kit sounds like a decent idea. BUT, doing it on the home jersey when it’s traditionally red and white is an interesting choice.

I’m not entirely sure how you put red and purple together, assuming there’s no white on this one. I’m open to different concepts, designs, etc. but making the home shirt the “risky jersey” doesn’t seem right.
