The Socceroos jerseys’ traditional colours of green and gold were chosen to represent the wattle, or native Australian flora, which was prevalent during the time that an official national “kit” was designed.
The Reason Why The Socceroos Jerseys Are In Green & Yellow
The Socceroos, Australia’s national football team, have been wearing their distinctive green and yellow uniforms since 1928.
The reason for this design is interesting, and it’s not what you might expect!
When we take a look at the first steps of the Australian football shirt culture probably many people have the same question: What is the reason for the green & gold outfit of the kit?
The colour of the Australian national flag is blue, red and white but it never really had any kind of influence for Australian sport dresses.
It is not the political history which gave Australia the sport dress colour but the local nature. The wattle tree with its golden (yellow) blossoms and green leaves which is quite popular in Australia.
The uniform has never been changed until today, and is usually used for the “home” kit of the Socceroos.
The away kit was the other way round and the shirt was mainly green.
This style of uniform has been used in all international competitions such as World Cup or Asian Cup.
