Blue Socks

Blue Socks

Casual (thicker) blue socks can be used if someone is wearing blue jeans. Most men and few women make a mistake in wearing white socks with dark colored pants. White socks for athletics can be used if white thicker socks are not available when white denim is worn. Denim of other tints can be used with corresponding casual socks.

The FA boycotted FIFA and the first two World Cup Finals in Uruguay in 1930 and Italy 1934. They continued to play the home international matches but the need for an away kit did not occur until they faced Austria and Germany in May 1930. The first away kit was not the famous red strip but one with a blue shirt, white shorts and blue socks with white trim. Player numbers where first won on the backs of shirts in a game against Scotland in 1937.
