Away team always wears away kit...even if it clashes!

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!

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!
