Being a seafaring town we would surely never wear Green, it’s an unlucky colour that no mariner would ever wear.

This was covered quite a bit last summer when Myenergi were announced as main sponsor. The view of the club, or at least the owners, is that we need to respectfully move on from our fishing heritage and look to the future, which appears to be green energy.

In terms of the kit, it’s been very softly phased in. The green on the Myenergi logo of the home kit, the green accents on the away kit and the mint green training attire. Expect to see a green kit of some sort as part of our 23/24 ensemble.

On a related note I understand there are plans to change the club nickname from ‘The Mariners’ to ‘The Turbiners’ (a “turbiner” being the colloquial name for a wind turbine technician). It was one of a handful of options but was chosen so it still scans with all the old songs. Won’t be introduced until 2025 at the earliest, though.

Surely no one would ever accept that. I think it’d have the same response as what happened at Cardiff City when their owner changed their home shirt colour to red.

It’ll be fine in time. Remember the furore over the flag on the badge? Anyhow, Sunderland fans got over it when they changed their name to the “black cats”.

There’s a proper adoption plan being drawn up. The club have lined up Les Johnson and Tony Bradsell from Pisces to record a new version of their famous 70s song.

“Up the Turbiners, up the Turbiners, we’re gonna win the cup one day…”.

Give it a couple of weeks and it’ll be like you’ve never known any different.

Didn’t the conversation about a green shirt also put to bed the myth that we’ve never had s green kit when someone mentioned we’d had several Keeper kits that were effectively green.

It’ll happen, I think the green thing may be a long lost fishing heritage thing but it’s not as big a deal for town as is often made out.

As for the green this year; the green isn’t the issue in the blue kit, more the fact it’s flipping atrocious…
