Why are Coventry City......

...whose imaginative nickname is The Sky Blues because they play in sky blue, playing away at Sheffield Utd (who play in red and white) wearing a red and white strip?

Is there some rule I don't know about which says you're not allowed to wear your home kit for away games?

This is a serious question and it's the type of stuff about life in League One that we need to start familiarising ourselves with now, ready for next season.

Thank you.

they can't both have played in red and white can they?

Sheff Utd: White shirts, red shorts.

Coventry City: Red shirts, white shorts.

No blue anywhere.

strange on both counts as Sheffield Utd nornally play in red and white stripes don't they? I think Coventry should go back to this snazzy number for their away strip next season

That's how I picture Boncey in his younger days.

Take that back! Brown wouldn't suit my complexion.
Here I am 30 years ago.

Coventry play in white and blue stripes. So had to wear red because Sheff United play in white.
