Just Wondered

[BAKERS DOZEN]

Why do Italy play in blue when their national flag is green, white and red? I'm sure most teams play in their flag colours and just wondered why they didn't.

Thanks. I knew one of you would assist.

Because they score so rarely they are always feeling blue.

Germany don't play in the colours of their flag either if it comes to it (nor Netherlands, Northern Ireland, or even Spain really if you consider they play in red and blue not red and yellow.

Was going to mention that last night ichkeria.

Northern Ireland traditionally played in blue and white, until the Scots nicked it.

Obviously their original salmon pink wasn't macho enough for them? :-)

Lots of other nations who don't wear the colours of their flags either.

I can't see New Zealand ever adopting a black flag unless they adopt piracy in a big way, but it doesn't worry their rugby team.
