To keep their legs warm?

To hide their shin-pads?

To stop their boots chafing?

 

[Lord Bracknell]

thier flag.

But their flag is red, white and blue.

And the shade of blue is certainly not light blue.

they'd look silly if they didn't wear any socks

I think the official colour is classed as orange, does look red though. Could be wrong though. As for the light blue socks.. maybe they just thought it looked better.

'Orange' is an interesting word. It didn't exist in English until the sixteenth century.

The word for the colour is named after the fruit - not the other way round.

what was the colour called before it was called orange?

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Geoluhread in Old English - "yellow-red".

As far as I know the the orange kit with the white shorts and light blue socks is retro.In the 40's & 50's this was the official kit.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

And the Dutch for 'orange' (the fruit) is Sinaasappel.

The Dutch for 'Orange' (the Royal House) is Oranje.

The Dutch for the colour orange is oranje.

Nah, there must be a better word for that orange fruit
