Since the early years when the Schoeneberger Saengerknaben first adopted a uniform, the top has changed, but the rest of the uniform has remained basically unhanged. The choir adopted a destinctive uniform of a small black jacket without lapels, an open-collar wjite shirt, matching black short pants, white knee aocks, and black leather shoes. The jacket had a crest with a rampant/standing bear, the iconic symbol of Berlin. The uniform when it was adopted was based on common boys fashions. Short pants were still very common, including short pnts suits. White knee socks were often used for a little more formal look. Short pants were very commonly worn in Germany during the 1940s and early-50s. They began to decline in the late-50s, but were still common boys wear.
