U.S. School Clothes: Holderness School (1930s)


Figure 1.-- This photograph shows Holderness boys playing ice hockey in 1930-31. The uniforms consist of rather tight jerseys, unusually short shorts, and long stockings. Modern hockey shorts are knee-length pants. I had not realized that hockey shorts were once so brief.

This photograph shows Holderness boys playing ice hockey in 1930-31. The uniforms consist of rather tight jerseys, unusually short shorts, and long stockings. Modern hockey shorts are knee-length pants, rather like basketball shorts. We are not sure what the earliest uniforms were like. We have noted these short-cut shorts in the 1910s. In the case of one boy (second from the right), the shorts are not long enough to cover the tops of his long stockings. I'm not sure when the longer-styled shorts were introduced.
