White and red shirts top Real fan poll

Posted Sunday, September 15, 2013 by Marca.com

According to a MARCA.com survey, the 'Los Blancos' fans' favourite colours for the Real Madrid kits are white - as in this year's home kit - and the red used back in 2011. The traditional white strip garnered 29.7% of the votes.

Over 17,000 supporters who took part in the poll voted for the club's iconic white shirt, while the red version was the next most popular.

The recently unveiled orange kit, to be used in this season's Champions League, does not appear to have made much of an impression. It came sixth in the survey, earning just 6.7% of the votes.

All white on the night: Bale, Isco and Illarra boost sales

The white home kit is a classic bestseller and sales have again skyrocketed at the beginning of this season, thanks to the arrivals of big-name signings such as Gareth Bale, Isco and Illarramendi. Stocks are running low at the club store at the Bernabéu.

Painting the town red under Mourinho

The red kit was Real's third kit during the 2011-2012 season. Mourinho's men wore it on their run to the Champions League semi-finals, where they were beaten by Bayern, as well as during a historic 6-2 thrashing of Sevilla at the Sánchez Pizjuán.
