Thing is Northubiron, you say that there are only 4 teams in the football league that play in claret and blue, could that possibly be because it is not a popular colour as no one else wants it ???????? and teams have moved on these days.
I’d rather be different and have a recognisable identity than be another club who plays in white. With the other 3 being in the Premier League, I’d hardly say it’s an unsuccessful colour.
Playing in white hardly helped Orient today, did it?
