To Red or not to Red? That is the question.

[Dreambeliever]

VVD has requested fans continue with the sea of red after the spectacular scenes vs Spurs when we won the league with our fans in the ground for the first time in 35 years.

I know it’s often said the locals hate wearing jerseys or other clothes that make them look like an OOTer. Scarves seemed to be as far as many would go when I visited Anfield semi frequently before moving to OZ.

Personally I love the sea of red and have zero issue with any fan wearing the colours of the shirt to games to create such a vibrant visual atmosphere. I’m guessing Virgil’s request is influenced by the Dutch orange wall that is so recognisable at major tournaments (when they qualify).

Dortmunds yellow wall is equally impressive.

So should we start a tradition of a sea of red going forward or stick with the current approach of minimal colour from the locals?

We should stick with our support being largely organic and let people do whatever they want.

Asking for it is a little plastic flaggy in my opinion.

I think they should wear what they want but anyone specifically not wearing red just to differentiate themselves from tourists is being a bit pathetic imo.

Yep, I like it personally. It's more unifying and a better spectacle

How about not looking like a wool or your from Kirby? 🤣

I think they should try to care less about what people think of them.

Where’s the “don’t give a fuck” option.

Much rather everyone wore black & white and the atmosphere be like Spurs than everyone wearing red and the atmosphere be like West Ham

This is such a privileged conversation to be having.

You're damned if you do, damned if you don't. Just carry on the way you want to and fuck anybody else's view of it.

You're watching the reds do a victory lap. You're blessed if you do and blessed if you don't.

I can understand why the skipper said it, but it was a risky thing to do. Asking us Scousers to fall into line - any line - is like trying to herd cats.

Everyone adores him though.

The whole notion is kinda silly. So for an OOTer, now that he know the locals are avoiding wearing red, he won't wear red as well even if he turns up once every 10 years, so as to "blend in" as a local.

In the end nobody wears red, to show some weird unified support for the team playing in red. Happy days!

There might be some contrarían antiauthority vibes in Liverpool, I think you may be on to something.

I refer you both to my earlier post.
