Home colours
Notts retained the same black & white striped shirts with hooped collars and cuffs
strip as used for the previous season.
Change colours
Around 1965/66 Notts introduced an old gold shirt with a hooped black and gold
collar and cuffs, this shirt also had the coat of arms patch. I suspect Notts continued to
use this shirt for the rest of the decade. The shorts and socks were probably old gold
too.
