I have come across a few teams colours, but didnt take note at the time CABW, but I will let you know if I find any in the future

The start of the 1892/93 season, Wrexham Gymnasium (nickname- the Gyms) played in their new strip of light blue shirts and navy blue knickers. There was a match report on the same page of the Gyms also later playing Rhostyllen Reserve

Chirk had a very distinctive kit ....all white with a red diagonal stripe across shirt al a peru style.

Ruabon fc wore all white with a white turban......was shown on historical kits in eminent Victorian section.

I've seen before about Wrexham Gymnasium playing in light blue. Also discovered that Brymbo Institute played in Navy Blue, one of the Rhos (maybe Eagle Wanderers) teams in Red, and Gwersyllt Foresters in Green and Red. Also assuming Wrexham Victoria didn't play in Blue as the match report from the Welsh Amateur Cup final against Machynlleth, lists Machynlleth as playing in Blue.

Following on from my previous post about club colours, discovered that Brymbo Victoria played in Red shirts and White shorts, Rhos Rangers in Blue, and Oak Alyn in White shirts and pale blue shorts. Also discovered that Gwersyllt Foresters first ever match was against Wrexham. Wrexham were forced to play in all white, as their usual kit of Red and Black stripes, clashed with Gwersyllt's Red and Blue kit.

I remember Rhos Rangers in the early 1950s playing in black and white striped shirts and black shorts!

Ah yeah. I didn't know they were going that long. My period of research is only up until 1914. It is during this period I found a source saying they played in Blue.

I have a picture of Brymbo Vics 1910-11 which I'll post if someone can tell me how to. Their kit looks darker than red but that's just a guess.
