Will the real Strip Czar stand up?

[Terry-Mancini-123]

There's been a lot of discussion about which strip we'll be wearing for away games and whether the apparent clash in colour for Wolves, Man U, Liverpool would allow us to wear either of our away strips fir those fixtures.
But who makes the final decision? Is it the PL, or Sky, or the home club or the referee or a combination of above? And does anyone know, as opposed to just having an opinion about it?

If the ref, I presume the decision would need to be made some time in advance or our kitman's luggage allowance would go through the roof. Wouldn't you imagine the TV people would have an imput too?

We will wear our home kit!!!!! FACT why would they wear a kit that clashes or is remotely close when our home kit is completely different to their home kits???? as much as the owners would want to show the new sponsors on the away kits the prem league, refs TV ppl wouldnt let them and dont think the owners would actually mind that much there is plenty of games to play in the away kits

For what it's worth:

Very funny that. Can't think what you mean.

And why would we want to wear an away kit for these games when our home kit will not clash?

To satisfy the away kit sponsors I suppose. Otherwise why would anyone bother to sponsor them.
