About Eton Colours
Eton College has a unique system of sporting and House colours that has evolved over some 150 years. These colours stand at the heart of British tradition in sartorial and sporting prowess.
Within the pages are all the colours of Eton from their inception through to current day. Delightfully illustrated with hand drawn plates, the book contains brief histories of each sport and describes the correct way to wear the colours. Also included are some of the myths and traditions that go along with them – such as not allowing the Captain of School to keep a goat or a wife, nor sport a beard.
The book is not only essential for any current Eton boy, Beak, parent, or Old Etonian, it is also required reading for anyone interested in the history and tradition of British sport and style.
