HOME
 
 
 
The uniforms of the 1891 Association Reds were similar to the 1891 National League Reds club. Home jerseys were white with red trim and red stockings.

ROAD
 
 
 
The Association Reds' road uniforms were dark blue with red stockings. Both of the home and road jersey were laced.

We believe that the uniforms had red lettering on the road jerseys but we cannot confirm it.

 ALTERNATE
 
 
 
Mike Kelly pushed Reds ownership to dress his club in green stockings. A color that was seldom used in baseball uniforms at the time. The owners refused.

However, Mike Kelly disobeyed club orders and dressed his club in green stockings for a number of away games played in April. By the time the club made their home debut, the color was dropped for red stockings.

Major league baseball uniforms for the most part continued to omit green from their uniforms with the exception of the 1910 Phillies and 1937 Dodgers. It wasn't until 1963 when the Kansas City Athletics picked up the color and permanently adopted it.
