Mexico to wear white Home shirts

Posted on September 21st, 2007 in Mexico by 01news

Mexico are going to be wearing white shirts at home and red shirts away, as national manager Hugo Sanchez claims that the current green shirt blends in with the pitch too easily, making it difficult for the players to pick each other out.

Sanchez told a local Mexican radio station:

“Given that the colors of the flag are green, white and red, I told them (officials) that I would to love play the majority of matches in white, with the second (away) uniform being red, all red.”

Does this sound like Alex Ferguson at half time in the match at the Dell back in 1996 when he had Manchester United change from their grey shirts at half time as they were clashing with the crowd??!
