Self evidently, we are not including teams who may have cut about a bit in the 1870s/1880s but are now forgotten.

Most football shirts back then were horizontal or plain. first vertical striped shirts Stoke 1883 Wolves 1883 Burnley 1884 St Mirren 1884 If you want longevity in a strip design Queenspark - small horizontal black white hoops - 1873 Blackburn Rovers - half vertical panels (slight differing shades of blue though) -1878 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've gone with plain red shirts and white shorts/trousers since 1868. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadFerret Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Did Cefyn Druids the oldest club in Wales not play in black and white stripes when they formed in 1872, five years before St Mirren were founded? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cefn Druids, in the current format, were formed in 1992 after a merger between Cefn AFC and Druids United. Druids United were the result of at least one merger before that (maybe more) but can trace their lineage all the way back to Druids FC. Druids, I think, usually wore plain white tops and black shorts but no idea if they started with stripes or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting history and very much like Triggers Broom it would seem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottmcleanscontacts Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 In Scottish clubs I always think of st Mirren as black with white stripes & Dunfermline as white with black stripes.There is a difference IMOWith you. It's the same with Partick. To me they are yellow with red. f**k knows why. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
