Hello,
I recently read this sentence: Chelsea football club wear a blue kit.
Is it possible to also use a singular verb here (wears)?
Could we use either a plural or singular verb form here?
Singular because the team are one unit = a team ), or do use a plural verb because the players are individuals wearing blue = players are doing the same thing, but acting independently of each other?
Thank you for your time and attention.
