Figure 1.--A HBC reader has provide this photograph of Italian Cubs. It is undated, butlooks like it may have been taken in the 1950s. Note the similarity with the British Cub uniform. Note the badges on the caps.

Italian Cubs appear to have worn, for the most part, the same uniform items as English Cubs. On superficial inspection they look like English Cubs. There are, however, some differences. The boys wore yellow and green peaked caps, just like English Cubs. The caps were green with yellow piping. Some had no front badge. Others sem to have a pin on badge. The boys like English Cubs wore green sweaters (jumpers) with badge sewn on the sleeves. They wore short pants, but I am not sure about the color. Some boys maybhae worn grey shorts. W have also noted dark blue cord shorts. We are also unsure about the knesocks. Some look to be grey, in some cases with bands at the top. I'm not sure what the official uniform entailed and there may have been differences among the diffrent associations. We noted Cubs in 1989 wearing dark blue kneesocks. English boys commonly wore sandals. we are less sure about Italian Cubs. We note many Cubs in 1989 earing boot-like shoes.
