🧵Sunday morning read. Kit combinations, is there a psychological edge for the players? With 8 games left to play and a European place to play for, its worth having a look at ⬇️ #BrentfordFC #Brentford #BeesShirts

Home Kit. The red and white stripes, Brentford's identity. Worn 18 times so far, 15 at home and 3 away. 80% of our wins have come in this kit, 7 home and 1 glorious away win at Man City. Can be worn in 6 of the remaining games. W 44% D 39% L17% #BrentfordFC #Brentford #BeesShirts

Second Kit. The return of the castle badge has not seen a win so far; a hammering at Newcastle and a slim defeat to Manchester United are joined by draws at Palace, Bournemouth and Arsenal. It will be worn next season. W 0% D 60% L 40% #BrentfordFC #Brentford #BeesShirts

Third Kit. The Post-It Note shirt definitely has an edge on the road. The 0-4 defeat at Villa and a last minute Mitrovic winner aside, the players have held their own in this kit with their only change kit wins being in black. W 29% D 43% L29% #BrentfordFC #Brentford #BeesShirts

Yellow GK Kit. Raya's favoured kit worn in 57% of games with 22 goals conceded, 1.29 per game. 60% of our wins have come when David wears yellow and there have only been 2 defeats. W 35% D 53% L 12% #BrentfordFC #Brentford #BeesShirts

Purple GK Kit. Undefeated. This shirt has been worn during 2 home wins and 1 away. Raya has only conceded 3 times in the kit with a 0.5 goal per game average. W 50% D 50% L 0% #BrentfordFC #Brentford #BeesShirts

Coral GK Kit. Yet to be worn at home, this kit seems to be a draw for opposition strikers with 2.4 goals per game average conceded. Worn in the away win against West Ham. W 20% D 20% L 60% #BrentfordFC #Brentford #BeesShirts

Green GK Kit. Released last year but not worn until April, this kit has been worn during the last 2 games, both ending in defeat. W 0% D 0% L 100% #BrentfordFC #Brentford #BeesShirts

Home Combination. Although Raya seems to prefer the yellow kit, the purple GK kit statistically has a higher win return and a lower goals conceded per game average of 0.5 when worn with the red and white stripes. #BrentfordFC #Brentford #BeesShirts

Second Combination. If the blue has to be worn on the road against Liverpool or Tottenham then the purple GK statistically has the greater return with 2 draws and a 0.5 goals per game conceded average #BrentfordFC #Brentford #BeesShirts

Third Combination. Both combinations have seen 1 win and 6 goals conceded although with the yellow GK kit being worn 4 times it is statistically better with a 1.5 goals per game conceded average. #BrentfordFC #Brentford #BeesShirts

With 8 games to go there are 4 homes, 2 aways v Wolves and Chelsea which shouldn't require a kit change, and 2 aways v Liverpool and Spurs which will. Home/Purple has the highest win return, while Third/Coral has slightly better away return. #BrentfordFC #Brentford #BeesShirts
