Old Thistle Strips.....

[+CaleyD]

I was having a bit of an argument with an old Jaggie last night about old Thistles original strip colours.

He was adamant they had never played in anything but Red and Black (as a home kit), but I am certain I have seen something somewhere which showed that in their early years they actually had a blue and white striped top as well as a blue and red striped one.

Can someone tell me if I am losing the plot, or am I right?

Am not sure of the actual colours, but am 85% positive you are correct about the strips tho

[Charles Bannerman]

Roshie Fraser would know. He's bound to have played in one!  :015:

I've found this - Clicky Clicky - but not sure if that's where I seen it before and how accurate it is.

At least they were adventurous in their colour schemes, unlike their RIVALS of the time. Just look at the first hideous turquoise effort. :023:

I saw them play in 1903 in a blue and white striped strip is that the one you are referring to.

That "Chocolate" coloured effort for the Jags is certainly adventurous and surely a wind up!!!

[Kingsmills]

I believe that you are right Caley D. The principal strip has, however been, red and black vertical stripes since at theast the late 1920s.

Chocolate covered is apt as they were always the skid marks of Inverness,  :003:

According to the 'Hub Of The Hill' booklet, Jags first registered colours were red and black. To my knowledge the first team 'home' strip has always been red and black, but the reserve, or second team, shirt has been various colours.

It twenty years time someone will start a thread entitled...." can anybody remember when there was blue and white in the Caley Jags strip"  :023:
