Re: Nice Shirt CB date of photograph 27th July 1903
Arggghhhhh! I can't get the pic to come up!
This could be HUGE!
Brooks 'invented' the BD in the late 1890's...
I've been told that he would have seen pinned collars, not buttoned ones by a guy with a Polo archive.
This could be the missing link.
But is it a Polo shirt? Or just a sports shirt? How do I know? I can't see the picture!

Fantastic!
I can well believe that these were worn for Polo too... But I wouldn't call them a Polo shirt if they were just a general sports shirt...

RS,
Agree way back when, sportsmen played multiple sports and drifted between athletics, football, cricket, polo, rugby, etc so certain shirts could be used for a variety of sporting activities. This photograph is dated 27th July 1903. Let's try and find an earlier one than this date.
