Happy April Fools' Day

by The Cap » 01 Apr 2016 10:07

Nice to see Jonathan Low entering into the spirit. The comment about Vardy, from Yiu Bee Foold, made me laugh :lol:

Reading FC might not have had too much success on the pitch this season, but they've had plenty off it.

And it's all been down to the African Violet away strip, which was introduced last summer.

Like Premier League winners-elect Leicester City's blue home strip, Royals' away kit has gone down a storm in Thailand over the past eight months.

Sales of Reading's African Violet strip have gone through the roof and the club's owners are said to be gobsmacked at its popularity.

As a result, they are understood to be in final negotiations to change the club's home kit to African Violet hoops, as opposed to the traditional blue ones.

They feel it will inspire the side next season and help spur them on to promotion to the promised land.

What do you think about the idea? Leave your thoughts below!

A Thai source, called Yiu Bee Foold, said: "We hope one day Reading can be the next Leicester City.

"They are the team everyone wants to be.

"We have already been looking for the next Marc Albrighton. We feel he has been the real reason why Leicester are top. Jamie Vardy is just a facade. He's just what we call a 'one-season wonder'."

I've always said Reading should return to that style home kit. Something a bit more unique and QPR are more famous for the blue and white hoops.

Yep and Leicester are the biggest club that play in blue.

I actually like that home kit, damn site better than some of the hideous creations Puma have lumbered us with in recent years. And why not? If the hoops don't go all the way round then don't tease us in the first place.

13 successive league wins from the start of a season wearing its predecessor as well.

I know this guy is trying to take the piss, but African violet hoops would actually make a great home strip!
