In fact if you take out the 3 seasons in the early 60s when we had plain white shirts then Red and Black socks were, after last season, tied on 35 seasons each worn with striped shirts. And the coming season will see black go 1 ahead on 36.

Just my opinion, of course, but I think red socks makes the whole kit look just a little classier (while making us stand out from other black and white striped kits of other clubs).

Isn't the reason why we introduced red socks linked to a manager who thought his players would be able to pick each other out more easily without having to lift their heads up?

I thought Shankly did something like that at Liverpool. Obv he was manager here too so maybe he did it at both clubs.

I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

FFS , three pages of posts on what colour socks we should have! No wonder some people at the club don't take this site seriously !

Thanks Hisen, no offence taken. I first started supporting the Mariners in 1941 as a 14 year old lad living in Scunthorpe where they played their `home matches`because of  WW2.and have never lost my passion for the club. Now living in OZ, I make sure on my many visits to the UK that I manage to watch at least one match at Blundell Park. Sadly,due to aging problems,that has now come to an end but I still check The Fishy at least once a day without fail.The club comes into a lot of criticism, some of it rightly so but there are good points.Once I reached the age of 85 I became an `Ancient Mariner`,which entitled me to free entry to any or all home matches,to any part of the ground. I am not aware of any other club that offers this,but I could be wrong.
Anyway. the best of luck to my club and all it`s supporters in the future. Rest assured, I will be watching from afar with much interest.

I don't like red socks because they don't match the shirts at all. They make the club appear amateur. White socks are better than black for visibility.

sodomist it let's have black and white hoops with red piping! Does it really matter as long as we play well?
