These teams date from an era with no advertising, or much in the way of shirt trim. This gives very simple kits in basic colour variations, and means that many of these colours have represented twenty or more teams down the years. For this reason, for these first fifty teams only, I've concentrated on the British clubs at the expense of overseas ones. So my apologies if your team has played in one of these kits and I haven't acknowledged it. You can find the foreign teams listed in the international appendices if you follow the links.
May 2003: To see the first 55 teams in their original "flat" versions, you can now visit the Card and Celluloid Team Project.

1985-96 |
Until 1969 |
18 changes to white socks in 1985. The original 20 (from Peter Whitehead's collection)
Queens Park Rangers, Reading, Morton. Deleted 1982
Heavyweight notes - There have been sightings of a 1970s Holland
away, with reversed colours (i.e. white shirts and orange shorts), but I'm
not sure if it was an official variation.
Originally Belgium. British clubs in the '70s. Swindon, Crewe and Bournemouth. Also international sides: Yugoslavia, Albania, Beringen (Bel), Edo (Hol), Nurnberg IFC (Ger). Deleted in the 1987 team range reduction.
"New" Partick Thistle | Red and orange | Black shorts | Alternate version? | Black shorts | Yellow Socks | With Trim |
The lightweight era 023 is red and orange.
The original Leeds Utd kit. Also Tranmere Rovers, Swansea City and Torquay Utd are frequent users of this number. Almost as popular as No's 1 & 2, this kit was used by Milwall, Doncaster, Port Vale, Northampton, York, Colchester and Darlington in England and countless others abroad.
Sheffield Wednesday at one point, and was Argentina in the 1960s, before they became 67. It then remained unused until 1981 when it became Stockport County, and survived as this until 1984 (when it was phased out).
Heavyweight notes - There seems to be a
"with trim" version circa 1978 to match the
Partick Thistle kit of the time. Not featured in the
catalogues.
Leeds Utd in the 1950s. Also Bangor (NI) and Drumcondra (Ire). 1952-88
Heavyweight notes - Possible alternate
version that looks a little like Ajax. Worn by
Hearts for the 1972/73 season, it doesn't
feature in the catalogues (but Hearts fans have
remembered seeing it, and several have now been
sighted in collector circles).
Heavyweight notes - black shorts until
1969, so classic h/w version should exist.
Yellow socks are a common 1970s variation.
Gained trim as "New Norwich" in the
late 1970s, but catalogue image remained
unchanged.
Other Notes: The trim version
is common as a zombie, but the first (machine
printed) lightweight seems to be the white socks
variety.
