http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hajduk_SplitThe Jersey
Hajduk played their very first match wearing red and white vertical stripes—basically a nod to the colors on the American flag. Back then, the local authorities in town didn't want any displays of local pride, so they wouldn't let the new club use the traditional tricolor colors. Since the tricolor was off the table, they went with red (for the US) and blue (for the ocean) and just slapped "Hajduk" on there in white letters.
Since then, white has pretty much taken over the look. The main kit is usually a white jersey paired with blue shorts and blue socks, which is meant to look like a white sail on the blue sea. White became such a huge part of their identity that everyone calls the team the 'Whites.' Their away kit is typically red and blue with vertical or horizontal stripes (sometimes thin, sometimes thick), blue shorts, and blue socks, pulling from those patriotic colors. There was actually this one nautical version with horizontal white and blue stripes mentioned for the home kit once, but the goalkeeper Pletikosa only wore it twice!
Choosing a third kit was always a total headache. Before UEFA made registering a third kit mandatory, they didn't even bother having one. One idea was going back to that white and red striped jersey from the very first game. But, because that pattern looked way too much like the kits worn by other teams like Red Star Mexico City—who had some pretty bad vibes attached to them—they decided against it.
koji glupost i kompleks! I mean, seriously? If that was Hajduk's original jersey, why can't they bring it back? Since when does Red Star own a specific stripe pattern exclusively? That's ridiculous!
Look at Atletico Madrid, Sunderland, Olympiacos, PSV, Bilbao, stoka...
