Get your fucking facts straight. No hoops until 1938 you Berkshire bell end. Now you're in the premiership you Reading mugs think you're so fucking clever don't you. 30 years old and you play with transformers? What a C*nt!
From the RFC website -
In 1871, at the formation of the Club, we did play in hoops. This lasted for only a few years, and upon entering the Southern League in 1894 the Club was playing in stripes - possibly so we didn't clash with other teams who were already in the Southern League and wore hoops.
From the QPR website -
Queens Park Rangers were formed in 1882 by the old boys of Droop Street Board School.
The boys were members of the St Jude's Institute as they used this as the club headquarters, and in the early days were known as St Judes.
They obtained the name of Queens Park Rangers when they merged with a team called Christchurch Rangers in 1886. They called themselves Queens Park Rangers because most of the players came from the district of Queens Park.
Playing in light and dark blue halves, their first fixtures were all friendly matches, and they played teams like Stanley, Tottenham and Fulham.
In 1892 QPR changed their colours to green and white hoops and joined the West London League. The clubs first honours soon followed, when they won The West London Observer Cup, beating Fulham 3-2 in the final.
Dont mean to wade in as I know he has upset you but this is from our official sites.
