When Brentford came to Canning Town for the opening home game of the 1901-02 season on 14th September, the West Ham Guardian again proved to be an invaluable source of information stating

"United wore their new uniforms for the first time, blue jerseys with a red band and white knickers and looked conspicuous to say the least"

The strip became known in the press as the “Union Jack”.

Season 1903-1904

Shirts: Claret and Blue, Shorts: White, Socks Claret

By the time of the next available photograph of the team, taken in 1903-04, the more familiar colours of claret shirts with light blue trim around the neck and light blue sleeves, white shorts and claret stockings appear to have been adopted. These have become the predominant colours of the Hammers ever since and remained so throughout the remainder of the 20th Century and into the New Millennium.
