Luton Town fans have called for Coldplay to change the lyrics of their song Yellow to match the football club’s orange home kit.

The plea came after the band were confirmed as headliners for Radio 1’s Big Weekend festival taking place at Stockwood Park, a 10-minute drive from the club’s ground, Kenilworth Road, in May.

Local people want the band to put a Lutonian spin on their hit song from 2000, saying it would honour the club and fans. Luton play in orange, navy and white. Just down the M1, Luton’s rivals Watford play in yellow.

...

Kev Harper, of the Luton Town supporters’ trust, said it would be an honour for the team and town if the band made the change.

“The crowd would love it,” he told the BBC, joking that Coldplay “should have called it Orange in the first place, it’s a superior colour”.
