"Of all the teams to have played in the top division in the English league, is the colour of the home strip important with regards to winning Championships?"

"There have been 105 championships since 1888, and teams in red have, according to our calculations, had more than their fair share of success. Now, we've based this on the colours the teams wear at the moment - because we'd rather like to hang on to our sanity, if it's all the same to you - and because teams were less loyal to colours when the leagues began than they are now: Everton, " (take note Dom) "for example, had a penchant for black in the late 1800s, but they'd prefer to count themselves among the blues these days.
