Few visual signatures in football are as strong as green-and-white horizontal stripes, the hoops. They cross countries, decades and divisions, linking clubs that, at first glance, would have nothing in common.
Where the hoops come from
The horizontal-stripe pattern spread through football from the late nineteenth century. Celtic, founded in 1888, made it famous in Scotland; Sporting did the same in Portugal from 1906. Around the world, dozens of clubs adopted green and white as their own.
