The football teams that changed their kits and won and lost their identities

Millwall
For the first century of their existence, The Lions played in variations of blue, reflecting their origins as a club set up by Scottish factory workers. In 1968 they did a Leeds, and switched to all-white. Results were mixed: they missed out on promotion to the top tier by one point, but ended up being relegated to Division 3 in 1975. Switching back to blue, they were immediately promoted. Switching back to white in 1999, they achieved another promotion within two years, whereupon they went back to blue, and were relegated again five years later.
Verdict: Mixed blessing
