nice.
Nothing is matching - knickers, socks, shirts (different sleeves, collars).

Also, anyone notice the guy with his back to the camers is wearing his hair like some do these days?

Looks like the players have their knees covered though.
Reminds me of the days when some of the SV school officials show up.
Now they will show up in shorts, knickers, or perhaps long pants  :!#

I suspect that war rationing limited the supply of vertically-striped shirts & horizontally-striped socks.   FlAg1

(Also, the guy with his back to the camera has one half-black/ half-white sock, & one all-white sock.)   ^flag

Is it just me or does the "guy" with "his" back to the camera look like a woman? To me it looks like she has her hair up in a bun or something.

If it is - she is one butt-ugly woman. Perfect for me.....

Maybe it was a faux-hawk.

Here's a guy who was way ahead of his time. 1944 and wearing black pants.

I like the checked pants and button down stripes.  Definitely could work for me.    ^good
