    I've just read a local article, and they think the inspiration for it is that of the Australian kit. Their new owner is Australian.

    I can imagine at the time it was likened to Brazil, but I don't think they were coining the phrase 'its just like watching Brazil'. Especially when you consider they sufferd successive relegations in the seasons they had it as a strip originally.

    I recall when we had the "Brasil" away kit we suffered relegation. I still have the replica shirt from 2001/2(?).

    Barnsley: It's just like watching Brazil.

    Swindon: It's just like watching Bovril.

    If I remember right, we didn't win a single game in it?

    It was during Parkin's tenure so you could very well be correct. We were relegated because we could not turn draws into wins, despite Gary Jones.
