I'm seeing one or two potentially hugely controversial kits in those '20s and '30s line-ups, CH!

The 1924/25 one is Castle blue chest and claret sleeves boss, it's in that guys collection of old shirts that's on KUMB somewhere. Some of the others we'll probably never know as they could be due to the fidelity of the photography, look at the trouble we had proving that the early 1900s kits weren't pink and that was despite strongly suspecting that South West Hams kits were pink and that there'd been a mix up.

I've seen evidence for all white shirts and for all Castle blue shirts in the early days too.

I remember it well, still have the splinters from Stratford Library.I've seen evidence for all white shirts and for all Castle blue shirts in the early days too.
