Hull City AFC were formed on 28 June 1904, initially only playing friendlies and in the FA Cup before they were admitted to the Football League for the 1905-06 season.
Hull were widely believed to have worn white shirts, black shorts and black socks in their first match against Notts County in 1904, but this has now been disputed. It is clear that very early in their history – perhaps right from the start – they adopted the black-and-amber-striped shirts and black shorts which have become the Tigers’ identity.
