Default Away Kits

What exactly is an 'Away Kit'? And why is it called an 'Away kit'?

They're played in when the team are "away"...(ie. visiting the other team's home ground).

They're used in case both of their regular kits look similar.

because teams use it when they play away from home perhaps?

Its used to avoid clashing with the other teams kit.

I get what you mean but Portsmouth wore their 'away kit' in FA Cup final and that was played on neutral ground.

Because it would of clashed with Chelseas kit. You cant have two teams playing in the same kit or people will accidently pass to the opposition.

There is usually a toss a couple of days before the game to see who gets the home dressing room/away dressing room

Did they toss a coin to decide who would would have to change strip?

Away kits are for when strips clash. Third kits, on the other hand, are just a way of milking the fans for extra cash.

I don't like it when we have to change shorts colour or socks colour but keep the home top. Doesn't look right.
