UNIFORM

  The uniform of the time consisted of a variety of sweaters and shirts. 

 Also the vest you see here, made of canvas and sometimes leather is a good addition to the uniform. 

 They vest came seems to have come in short and long sleeve. 

 The pants of the era were made of thick canvas, sometimes leather and featured bits of padding here and there. 

  The helmets varied greatly. In fact many early players didn't where helmets. You see a variety of players with or with out them. Made of leather and sometimes a heavy cloth material. These are not required for playing vintage football. 

The Cleats are a leather boot with metal spikes on the bottom. 

  

EQUIPMENT 

  The only real equipment needed is the "melon" style football. This football, shaped differently than the modern football, resembles closely the Rugby ball from which it comes.
