Club Colours - Bob Bickerton

Along with goal scorers. Cup winners, leaky defences, dodgy keepers and corrupt managers, the subject of football kits is the cause of much debate and controversy amongst fans. Club Colours is the complete guide to the intriguing world of the soccer strip. The book contains a simple story about each of the clubs which have played in the Football League, their glory days and the key strips worn at the time. We trace the progress from the days of caps and knickers to the high tech, sponsored strips of today with colour artworks of every significant kit. There are unique sartorial contributions from many clubs as well as surprises from the days when spots, sashes and halves were commonplace. The story of each club’s colours is presented together with a detailed record of each club’s performance on a year-by-year basis.
