Notts County changed from amber and black to black and white in 1890. Saints changed from blue and red to black and white in 1884, making St Mirren the first team to wear black and white stripes.

What colours were both teams wearing when they played in the Barcelona  cup?

We first wore black and white vertical stripes in 1884 which is 6 years before Notts County first wore them.

But was there anyone else before 1884?

Aye, that's essentially what I'm asking. If nobody wore them before 1884, then we're the first to wear them.

We know that we were before Notts County, Newcastle and Juventus. Their first teams anyway, because apparently Newcastle's second string wore black and white stripes (actually, it was the second string of one of the 2 sides that merged to form Newcastke United).
