I don't know if anyone else has this problem with FM18, but in my game the home team always wears their HOME kit and the away team always wears their AWAY kit, even when it creates a clash. For example for Sheffield United v QPR, QPR change from Blue and white to red and black...which obviously clashes. In the reverse fixture Sheffield United change to Purple-White-White, which also creates a clash. Also, despite having added alternative shorts and socks in the editor, the game fails to apply them! Strangely, I also added a 3rd Goalkeeper's kit, including alternatives, which work perfectly. All the edited data was saved in the same file. I can 't remember ever experiencing these problems with previous versions of the game. If anyone can help....I'd be interested to hear your replies!

Game decides if it's a clash mostly on the "background" colour, which is a button located inside kits and colours => shirt. If you have weird kit choices made by game, it's most certainly because shirt colours are not set up good.

For example, QPR has blue-white stripes and it looks the same if you set up "background" to blue and "foreground" and "outline" to white, or viceversa. But if "background" is blue, the game will see it as predominately blue, and it'll clash with Everton, for example. This might lead to some problems with clubs who wear white + some other colour stripes. You shoud think logically before assigning colours. For example Sunderland is red-white, however players back is full red so it's background colour should be red, not white.

If you set up white as background colour for QPR and red for Sheffield Utd, it shouldn't clash

That sort of makes sense. But it would mean editing every team on the database, when it should be automatic has it has been previously.
It doesn't explain the clash created with the shorts and socks ( from white which didn't clash to black which does, and vice versa) and then the none use of alternatives!

There is a SSKCC file available on this site for download which solves this and similar problems, so you just start new game with it. For some other individual cases, use in-game editor.

In my expirience the game simply won't consider alternative shorts and socks, especially if there are custom made 3D kits available.

It's true that original game is terribly set up regarding team colours. There's a lot of work to do when the game ships in november. Or just wait for SSKCC file
