hamilton accies, iam trying to remember if killie had an away strip in the late 70, early 80s, that was red and white hoops.

Aye good one George on the Accies. I should have known that one. Queens Park play in black hoops so no point in me mentioning them here.

What about football teams with hooped socks?

[FC Basher]

I couldnt tell you Traeth or Basher. Truth be told Rugby teams teand to play in hoops rather than football teams. Just gonna hvae a read of this-

"Why do football teams tend to play in stripes whereas rugby teams play in hoops? Why do Celtic, then, play in hoops? What other teams break this trend?" asks Richard Tonkin.

Hoops make players look bigger. Stripes make players look taller. Being squat and bulky is a distinct advantage in rugby, a sport where having a neck wider than your head is de rigueur. But footballers like to look tall and slim, so stripes it is.

Why Celtic chose green-and-white hoops as opposed to stripes nobody seems sure. They started life playing in all-white shirts, then changed to a vertical green-and-white-striped affair before "evolving" into the famous hoops in time for the 1903-4 season. Perhaps the team was just too tall and wispy for their own good.

Of course, this is the final season the famous hoops will be seen at Celtic Park. The club's new strip has two white panels under each arm, breaking both hoop and supporters' hearts. A "Hands off the Hoops" campaign hopes to put a stop to this heresy, although as the new strip has already achieved "higher sales than any other shirt", this seems unlikely.

But you'll still be able to see hoops elsewhere. Morton, Queen's Park Rangers and Reading play in blue-and-white hoops, Darlington and Queen's Park play in black-and-white hoops, while the Hamilton Accies play in red-and-white hoops. Sadly, if you still desire that Celtic aesthetic, you'll have to go to watch Rapid Vienna, Shamrock Rovers or Sporting Lisbon play.
