Burnley Football Club haven't always played in Claret and Blue,
but what is clear is that their greatest footballing triumphs came
in the now famous colours.
Early accounts of the strip have not been very consistent, but the

The change is luck was almost immediate, and within
3 years Burnley were FA Cup winners, and shortly
after the First World War, they won the League
Championship.
For short spell before the start of the Second World
War, Burnley played in White shirts and Black shorts
with a white stripe, and it is thought that a similar
change in luck was sought to that of the early 1900's

variations of the colours down the years, mainly during
the 70's and more recently during the late 90's and into
the 21 century.
