"From Zürich we flew to Geneva, where another game had been arranged. It was
clearly understood our team would be an F.A. XI, and for the game we would
be wearing [red] shirts borrowed from the R.A.F. But this did not stop the
Swiss—keen to draw a big crowd—from billing the match "Swiss 'B'
v.
England 'B'." - The World's
My Football Pitch, Billy Wright, p50.
Wright stated 'blue' - but all evidence suggests England wore red.
