Knickerbockers
For 65 years, following the first international match in 1872, England’s players took the pitch with no identification - no numbers or names on their shirts. The players were identified in the match programmes only by their position. Also interesting is the outfits they wore in that first match ...
Scotland - Dark blue shirts with a single-lion crest, white knickerbockers, blue and white striped stockings, red head cowls.
England - White shirts with three-lions crest, white knickerbockers, dark blue caps.
