LEYTON ORIENT will wear their white away kit against Barnsley tomorrow, despite being the home side.<\/p>\n
Both sides traditionally wear red at home.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Barnsley would normally rock up in their white away strip for the Brisbane Road clash.<\/p>\n
They are currently without their alternate kit, however, after their team bus caught fire a fortnight ago.<\/p>\n
The Tykes had been travelling home from their 1-0 win at Exeter when the incident occurred.<\/p>\n
Everyone on board was thankfully evacuated safely and no one was harmed.<\/p>\n
But Barnsley's away kit, which they had worn that day, was onboard and is now unusable.<\/p>\n Neill Collins' side have been unable to source replacements in time for tomorrow's clash with Orient.<\/p>\n Barnsley could wear their black third kit instead, which wouldn't clash with their opponents' red home shirts.<\/p>\n But due to red and black causing significant issues for those who are colour blind, Orient have agreed to wear their white away shirts instead.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS<\/strong><\/p>\n This means that home fans will get a rare glimpse of their team not playing in red.<\/p>\n Orient boss Richie Wellens will be looking for his side to continue a positive run of form that has seen them win four of their last six games.<\/p>\n During this run their home match with Lincoln was abandoned with ten minutes remaining following a medical emergency.<\/p>\n The O's later confirmed the tragic news that fan Derek Reynolds had died aged 74.<\/p>\n It was later decided by the EFL that the match will be replayed in full at a later date.<\/p>\n<\/picture>HE'S ALRIGHT, JACK <\/span><\/p>\n
