Nottingham. It is said to be the playground of infamous, perhaps fictitious character of Robin Hood. In the rhymes, he and his merry men would run through the Sherwood Forest. Wearing bright green outfits, they’d steal from the rich to give to the poor. While the stories of the outlaw might be fictitious, fans of Nottingham Forest have had a reality check after five games of Championship football. They’re currently sat in thirteenth place, five points ahead of bottom-tablers Ipswich Town but two points behind their rivals: Derby County.
The two teams in the East Midlands derby will have the chance to face off in December. Until then, they’ll be fending off the opposition and desperately climbing towards those play-off positions. Both teams are arguably ready for Premier League football.
The away kit, the reason why you might be reading this blog post, is bright gold. Furthermore, the main sponsor of the club is Betbright. This really does emphasise the bright nature of this kit. On the top of this gold canvas sits the club’s emblem and Macron’s logo. Further Macron logos can be found on each of the sleeves.
The neckline of the kit is completely simple. There is no classic-collar. It is bordered with dark blue. The blue is a refreshing contrast to the bright gold.
Completing this kit, its shorts are dark blue and the socks are gold with blue tapering at the top.
