![]() | This article is written in New Zealand English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, realise, analyse, centre, fiord) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus. |
Surely this should be "colour" throughout, even in sections pertaining to American sports? I don't necessarily mind it and I understand why it is the way it is, but articles should normally use consistent spelling throughout, and WP:ENGVAR doesn't list any exceptions that fit this scenario. -- Bongwarrior ( talk) 03:20, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
Many of these US-related sections pertain to leagues like the MLB, NBA, and NHL which also have teams in Canada. So we can just easily say that its also the Canadian English spelling of "colour". Zzyzx11 ( talk) 04:28, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
Come on, fellas, New Zealand English? I understand what
Responsible? is saying about the oddity of first variant wins, but NZ English is a sub-class of Commonwealth English. Unless you're writing about iwi or jandals, there's no difference. ;)
So if we're just addressing the colour vs. color difference then Cwlth would be more appropriate. It looks odd having this international article tagged to one national variety when there are no TIES. (Or to put it another way, although Responsible is in New Zealand, the spelling used was not specifically New-Zealand-ish.)
User:Zdestefon just unilaterally changed the article to US English, I'm about to revert that pending further discussion. Seems that having it consistently "NZ" colour didn't prevent the engvar wars.
Honestly, I'd be quite happy to see this article use color in US-specific sections and colour elsewhere. Yes, as Bongwarrior said, "articles should normally use consistent spelling throughout" but this could be a case where we can go a bit WP:IAR and allow both spellings to co-exist, so long as they are consistent within each section. What does everyone think? Will section-level consistency lead to more conflict or less? Pinging Zzyzx11 also.

Where I am having trouble is when the articles quote the official NFL (for instance) regulations. They absou-frigging-lootely do NOT use "colour"!! It is a quote, for gosh sakes! If you change it from what it is, it IS NOT a quote!!! It becomes "original work" or some such. A quote darn-well ought to be exact or alternatively any changes should be in brackets. 98.21.213.85 ( talk) 10:50, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

"During the 1998/99 season UEFA's kit policy dictated that any clash in first choice kits led to the home team changing shirts." ( https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/arsenal-forced-wear-away-kit-8932338) Liverpool vs Valencia is one example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORcVmOME5tk Sarnobat ( talk) 09:11, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
Large sections of this article seem to be completely clueless about what colours “clashing” actually mean. Colours can’t clash if they are the same. 2A00:23EE:13B8:19C6:752B:8557:ED9C:9654 ( talk) 15:00, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
