We had a claret and blue shirt in 1874. We just didn't have it regularly until 1887.

There's not a fat lot if difference. In any case, we were way before those Cockney upstarts.

Chocolate and blue was 1886, the year before we wore claret and blue regularly.

Can't believe we all turned into anoraks on this.

When it comes to wearing claret and blue in a regular basis, we're the original and the best.
