Ending the colour bar tyranny for boys

There was always this issue growing up around what colour tops boys could wear as it appeared some colours were seen as okay for boys such as red, blue, yellow or orange and others such as pink were not in any form.

This in 1972/3 would of been unthinkable.

A boy in pastel horizontal stripes and pink play shorts both specifically marked to and for boys in much the same way mens soccer teams do wear pink tops and shorts too.

I'm actually very glad todays boys and young men have a much wider range of colours they can wear without fear of ridicule, bullying or even assault and only wished we'd had that.
