Text	The St. Louis Club, it is said, will drop the brown hose the coming season. This policy is questionable, as the professional club there has been identified with this color for eight years, and the local public allude to it affectionately as “the Browns.” If a rival League club should enter the field and adopt the discarded colors it will take great prestige with it. New York Clipper February 3, 1883 [The returned to brown stocking for 1884.] [from an article about new manager Ted Sullivan shaking things up] The old name of “Brown Stockings” has been abandoned, and the organization will henceforth be known as the St. Louis club. Not only that, but the old brown stockings are to be discarded, and the hosiery of a bright red to be substituted. Cincinnati Enquirer February 18, 1883
