Talking of traditional away kits, along with most I would love to see the green & yellow stripes resurrected. And I can't understand why the Club don't listen to the fans; I'm sure it would be a big seller.

Back in about 1960 (?) I went to watch a pre-season warmup between Albion 1st & 2nd teams. They mixed up the teams so that it was an even contest. (I don't remember any proper pre-season games in those days).
Anyway, Team 'A' played in navy/white stripes, and Team 'B' played in ALL-RED. That doesn't sound strange at all today, but it was quite groundbreaking 55 years ago. No other team in the League played in all one colour back then - not even Liverpool, who only changed to all-red in about 63-64, and Leeds pretended to be like Real Madrid a year later, as I recall.

Can Ska'd (or anyone else) confirm whether all-red was our away kit back then, or have I dreamt it?

 I went to Filbert Street (Leicester City for the benefit of the youngsters) a couple of times in the early sixties and as far as I can remember:-

Feb 1961   FA Cup 5th Round  - I think that we played in all red and lost 1-2.

Sep 1964  Division1                - I think that we played in all white and lost 2-4 (Jeff Astle's debut)

On the other hand it could have been the other way around

That's over 50 years ago; no wonder my memory is going!!
