    Hatters' Heritage FB post - without the photos

    Posted by RADSBUser icon on 29/8/2025, 9:08:10

    The announcement of the new green 3rd choice shirt means that we are without a white shirt for the first time. Let us therefore look at the history.

    From formation in 1885 until 1889 the club wore dark blue and pink halved shirts. This was a unique shirt so there were no colour clashes. This changed when the club changed to cardinal red shirts in 1889. The 7th December 1891 club minute book entry says “The purchase of a number of white jerseys be left over until next meeting”.

    No white shirts were purchased in December but in early 1892 Edmonton wore scarlet at Dallow Lane. The Luton Reporter - “It was difficult at first to distinguish the players, the colours being almost precisely similar, but the Lutonians solved the difficulty by wearing white bands.” I take white bands to mean sashes.

    In March 1892 Tottenham Hotspur came to Town and the newspaper takes up the story - “The visitors, following the example set by Edmonton a few weeks since, donned scarlet jerseys, and the onlookers witnessed the unfamiliar spectacle of several of the locals wearing white, though other members of the eleven adhered to the familiar cardinal.”

    White was then adopted as the change of shirt and has been with us ever since. Follow the history through the decades though the attached photos.
