Very smart 150th anniversary home kit for BPA this year. I prefer the green but I'm always partial to a diagonal stripe

I am so old I can claim to have seen Bradford play in the Football League; their penultimate game, in fact, on 17 April 1970. Since they finished bottom of the table by a long way and Chesterfield were champions, Avenue's 4-0 defeat probably felt almost like a moral victory.
No green on their kit then JamesB. White shirts and red shorts if I remember.

White shirts and red shorts if I remember. Myself and a few others on here are old enough to have seen Bradford Park Avenue a few times. My 3 games were:- 1963/64 Torquay 6 Bradford (Park Avenue) 2 - this was in amongst our sequence of 12 successive home games where we scored 48 goals - an incredible average of 4 a game; 1964/65 Torquay 1 Bradford (Park Avenue) 1 (our goal scored by a County Cricket player) 1965/66 Torquay 2 Bradford (Park Avenue) 1. ..... and that was it. We were promoted and Bradford slipped off out of the league a few years later before we came back down to the lower Football League tier.

Do BPA still hold the record for the most Northerly team ever to play in the Southern League?
Plymouth to Bradford in 1907 must have been quite a trip!
