1896-97
A season ticket from the 1895-96 season states that the club colours are 'claret and light blue stripes' so it can confidently be inferred that this was when the change to stripes took place.
The reference photograph for this season is a team photograph taken at the West Middlesex Cup Final. Brentford had added light blue to their claret shirts with a blue collar. On show in the photo are two different styles of stripe; even claret and blue stripes, and a version with a thicker blue stripe whch is also central
The players are wearing dark shirts and socks, which could be black or navy
