Were a dark all green sock.  Then post Euro88 had a lighter sock with white rings.  What was all that about?

Was it Terry Phelan that used to always turn the top of the socks over as to hide the white hoops so they were all green or at least some times, or did I just imagine that, lockdown is not going well LOL

Used to have these socks. The strange part was the white foot. Very thick heavy socks too
