"The Glue Tour"
1960's
"Sweaters: The rules governing dress state that the sweater should be the same colour as the shirt." "Your choice of style of sweater is very varied & includes sleeveless pull-over, V-necked long sleeved sweater, roll-neck or crew-neck sweater and cardigan of zip or button-up type.
Personally I suggest a zip-fronted, heavy knit cardigan which is not too "baggy" and is tight enough at the waist and sleeves." "The zip-front makes it easy & quick to remove during a game without disarranging your hair."
"Girls can knit such a garment, boys can "organise" a mother, sister, girl friend or some kind lady to produce one for them; how about suggesting it for your birthday or Christmas present? Alternatively, there are delightful designs in the shops of English, Scottish or Continental patterns."
It took me years to persuade my dad to give up his cardigan for a track suit.
