Dress for the job you want, not the job you have. That old chestnut comes to mind when Bromley turn out in the all-white of Spanish giants Real Madrid.
The recent trend for Los Blancos kits began with the arrival of the club’s bombastic former owners, the Reading family. Their legacy wasn’t just unwatered trees and unpaid bills. One of their first acts was to change Bromley’s traditional black shorts for something altogether more flashy.
After a forgettable Surridge Sport number for the 2013/14 season, the Readings introduced an all-white Nike kit for 2014/15, no doubt designed to dazzle fans at their family-fun-day ‘matchday experience’. Bromley won the league in that kit and were promoted to the National League. A legend was born.
