Description
'Reds' team uniform. Woven red sash with knotted, wool tassels at both ends.
The players were drawn from the lower middle classes and assurances were given that they are `enterprising and decent’ young women. They were coached by professional county players and when crowds `came to scoff, [they] remained to praise’. The uniforms by Lillywhite, Frowd and Co. were described in one report as `designed with all possible regard to freedom of movement, and ….by no means unbecoming’.
