Bangor’s away kit policy

Do Bangor have a unique policy regarding their away kit ?
Many teams have started to wear their away kit for most away matches, even wehn there is no colour clash. Glentoran are a fine example of this, wearing an all white strip with a central broad green/black/red stripe on the shirt at home. For away matches they wear their green shirts with a side red/black stripe with black shorts and green socks.
Bangor introduced the concept a few seasons ago to get seperate sponsors for their home and away shirts. However, as far as some fans were concerned, the problem was that the away kit was used for all away matches and comprised a white shirt with red and black flashes, a combination far removed from the traditional yellow and blue.
In subsequent seasons, when Diadora were the suppliers, the away shirt was of the same design as the home shirt in white instead of the home yellow.
For this season in the premier League, in a unique move, the away shirt is also yellow (sponsored by CIL Stewart) as oposed to the different design of the yellow home shirt (sponsored by Fonacab). The yellow shorts and yellow socks for both kits are exactly the same. So Bangor’s home kit is all yellow and the away kit is a slightly different all yellow.
Apparently they also have a white third kit, but it has never been used in a competitive match by the first team as no other team in the Premier League wear yellow as a first choice and few others in the lower leagues wear yellow.
Is anyone out there aware of a similar policy for away shirts ?
