England football shirts - green white hoops
This page shows shirts from English teams that also have the green white hoops or stripes, or that are similar to the Stromp shirt (one side green, one side white). Not all the jerseys are from football clubs, other sports such as rugby are represented. In fact, hoops or horizontal stripes are particularly popular with rugby teams. Many of the clubs shown here are from the Premiership, but also from other leagues, and there are shirts from several non-league and amateur clubs from all over England.
There are many other English clubs that wear the hoops that are not represented here, either because it has not yet possible to get one of their shirts (or good quality photos), or because I simply do not know about them.
There are probably many more teams in Europe that wear the green white hoops! If you know any, let me know! But first check the English teams section, and also the continental European teams section. And see the links above for American, African, Asian and Australian green white hooped kits!
You can also see the Sporting Lisbon vintage shirts, mostly match worn, as well as the new Sporting Lisbon shirt.

Something special: a Catholic football club in England

A special shirt: Hull Dockers RLFC
Great Britain is a complicated country, so complicated that it is not a country, but several (at the time of writing): England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. But that's not the end to the story! The English often say that Yorkshire is part of England, and that's what the official maps say, but the Yorshire people tend to disagree, as they tend to think that they are a fifth nation. At least the accent is unmistakable. This is the first Yorkshire shirt in Verdebranco.net, and we pondered whether we should open a new section. In the end, and in order not to open a diplomatic incident, we decided to include it here together with the English shirts. And, once again, we thank Sports Vintage Shirts for another beautiful find!
