Well, my sister is practising her guitar downstairs so the dissertation write up is off till lunchtime. Time wasting it is! Has anyone ever seen purple orienteering knee high socks anywhere? Or know of a Scandi club with purple in its colours? OUOC need some for our new kit extravaganza.

Do footie socks stand up to brambles and stuff? Anyone wear them?

by **mharky** » Mon Dec 20, 2004 7:50 pm

yes, and yes i do, or did. they are a bit thinner than o-socks. but the only way you will get purple o-socks is by ordering them especially, and that will be expensive.

Our tops are super super cheap though. So maybe we'll splash out on the socks.

nydalens sk has a kind of purple trikot

Hearts, Burnly et al play in maroon , not purple, which is not a popular colour for footy kits.

Fiorentina in Italy is your best bet....

Would prefer their colour to be known as Claret! :wink:

and I'd say cheers to that.

by **bedders** » Tue Dec 21, 2004 8:12 pm

yeh i think mharky was right, fiorentina are well and truly dead.

and isn't batistuta a bit argentinian for anybody to like him? (not that i'm racist or anything)

if you just want the colour, you could buy the girly thin knee socks from the highstreet, chop out the bottoms(*otherwise you'll get blisters)and wear the now legwarmers over normal o socks.

and since when was aston villa purple? thats hardly purple

Not that it's a lot of help but Winchmore Hill Hockey Club used to wear Purple socks, so I guess they may be available in good sports shops or sportswear catelogues as opposed to shops which only pander to premier football supremos.

Yes - school outfitters might be a better bet - like School Togs - is that just round here? I think a fair number of schools wear proper purple. and there probably a lot cheaper than football teams replica kit.
