I asked my old man (who's sadly no longer with us) about this a few years back and he said it was exciting - you really couldnt credit how revered that Real Madrid team were, so it was seen as very exotic.

Were there mass demonstrations and arguments against it with angry fans refusing to accept the new kit or was it met with apathy, in that it does not matter especially in the days pre replica kits being worn by all and sundry , or even approval as regards the message it was trying to send?
