Things aren’t always black and white

Playing in the English League 2, Notts County isn’t exactly a household name these days, but the club does have the distinction of the oldest league football team in the world and it does have the distinction of wearing a famous black and white strip that was the inspiration for among others Juventus.

Even with the well-known uniform, a shirt manufacturer managed to screw things up royally by producing 2,000 replica kits that had a white strip down the middle instead of a black one.

Blasphemy!

The good news is that if you purchased one of these misaligned jerseys you can return it for a proper one. The bad news is that if you actually own one of these jerseys you probably are a supporter of the team, one that will likely continue to toil in relative anonymity for years to come.
