Real Madrid’s traditional home kit colours are all white, although originally a blue stripe appeared on the shirt, but unlike today, dark blue socks were also worn. The striped shirt was replaced by an all-white version, modeled after the shirt worn by Corinthian F.C., in 1902 the blue socks were replaced with black ones.
