Last team in stripes to win the top league

[The Great Soprendo]

Nobody wins anything in stripes. Well.... apart from Barcelona, Milan, Atletico, Juventus, Inter, Porto, Sunderland (derbies).

Interestingly in Italy it's rare that a team that DOESN'T wear stripes wins the league (or a team outside Milan or Turin), especially in recent times:

We'll always have red and white stripes. Just a few stars gonna be added

Signifying our Champions League wins?

 

[WHO WAS PHONE]

No, definitely not us.

Preston North End, last topped the table in 1890. Probably someone else even earlier.

What I mean is would we break the existing record, not is there somebody who could beat it.

 

[Wayne The Punk]

We are one of the best, if not the best team at the time, the f***ing Germans start a bastard war, f***ing twats!

I wouldn't feel like we were Sunderland if we ever ditched the stripes.

I wouldn't feel we were Sunderland if we actually won something.

 

[Kid Galahad]

Too far. They’d all look like Wonderwoman.

....or Apollo Creed

We've ditched half the fuckers with these pathetic shirts recently !!

If we ever won the league again would it be the longest gap ever between winning?

Newcastle's would be longer.

 

[WHO WAS PHONE]

Newcastle's would be longer.

I mean would we beat the current record.

This is bollocks then

Football teams can confuse opposition by playing in stripes, boffins claim

FOOTBALL teams can bamboozle the opposition by playing in stripes, boffins claim. Scientists discovered that predators in the wild found it harder to catch prey with stripes if the animal moved fas…

It’s the moving fast that is our problem

Aye and Raich Carter buggers off to play for Derby during the war iirc which is where he ended up after it as a consequence

 

[PaulRamone]

I mean would we beat the current record.

Yes

 

[WHO WAS PHONE]

Yes

Cool!

 

[Snugster]

In 1936, never knew that.

I've just done the quiz in Cheers, wish I'd read this thread first!
It's also the last time a title winning manager was called John apparently.

This also applied in 1914
