Those 1930's kits with the white sleeves look classy, would like a modern version of that. |  |

This is the 1889 kit and I imagine they didn't change them every season back then, so I would guess this is what they were wearing the previous season. I assume that kit is an attempt at a modernised version of that.

You look rather splendid as the goalkeeper, Phil, with your bushy moustache.
I suppose you were described as custodian of the onion bag. |  |

I think the term 'onion bag' was seen as a bit too French and fancy dan in those days.
Incidentally, I see that team group includes William Sherrington but not his brother Charles, the only Nobel Prize winner to have played for the Blues.

I’m sure I was told once that a Town used to play or were based at Broomhill road Ipswich when that photo was taken ?! |  |

Broomhill was the ground between 1877 and 1883. They used to change at the Inkerman pub. | | | |

You have been looking at 'Ipswich Town A History' by Susan Gardiner too then. |  | | |

'The only Nobel Prize winner to have played for the Blues'....to date.
I'd have said he was the only Town player to win a Nobel Prize, as that represents the order in which the two things happen. | |

Some might say 'or somebody with more money than sense'.
