STEVEN Reid has described Burnley’s silver third kit as ‘a real shocker’ and joked it reminded him and the players of ‘tinfoil’.
The Clarets wore it for the first time this season at Sunderland on January 31, and then again at Old Trafford on Wednesday.

It’s two defeats from two when it has been worn, losing 2-0 at the Stadium of Lights followed by a 3-1 loss at Manchester United.
It’s not been blamed for the losses, like Sir Alex Ferguson famously did with a United away kit of a similar colour, claiming his players were having trouble picking each other out, but it’s clear that the strip is not a favourite with the Burnley squad.
“To be honest we played in it against Sunderland and we were terrible that day; obviously I’m not going to blame the kit for that performance but it’s a real shocker,” Reid told BBC 5Live.
“The kit man has been getting all sorts of stick over the last few weeks about who chose it. Hopefully next season it’ll be gone!”
