Prototypes
A slightly different version of the blue shirt had been considered for 2007.
It featured more elements of white trim, and was more closely aligned to the home shirt template seen in 2008.
There was also a white shirt considered. This template was seen worn by pro clubs such as Blackpool and Oldham, although it has to be said, theirs looked far more striking in bolder and contrasting colours.
