The photo used in the book (1925/26) is indeed the one Bert acquired via the son of one of the players. George, you are the colourization king. The hue of the strip does suggest green. The same photo is used on the cover and given an amber(ish) tint.
Didn’t goalkeepers use yellow shirts around that period? Green goalkeeper jerseys came a little later?
I thought I had a Boro programme that confirmed the colour was green. Sadly, I was mistaken, the programme merely indicates ‘Linnets’, NOT Green.
