I noticed the horizontal striped socks for the coming season on the new kit launch,don't know whether you are into good omens. But when the reds wore similar socks in the past they won promotion in 2016 to the chsmpionship and in 1996/97 to the premier league Of course it may mean bugger all but you never know......
I likes 'em. Something a bit different and as you say have coincided with successful seasons in the past
