Wimbledon Pre 1937 Body Colours

Does anyone know what all the Wimbledon body colours were prior to 1937.

On the defunct speedway website they have a Wimbledon team photo (1929) and a picture i have of the 1930 team show them wearing a light body colour does anyone know whether it was white or yellow?

On eBay there is a 1931 programme printed with blue writing - did they use this colour on their race bibs?

When did Wimbledon start using the plain red race bib? Maybe 1932 as their match programmes have red print on them from this date.

Again on the defunct speedway website these was a case of them using a black race jacket away against Belle Vue in 1934, so maybe this season they used two different team race jackets as Belle Vue wore red one's.

Thanks in advance for any help.

After doing some spectral analysis on some old Wimbledon photos I can confirm that in 1929 and 1930 their team body colours were yellow as this was showing in the B&W images.

All images from 1932  showed the colours to be red the same as printed on  their match programmes.

Ths only leaves 1931 but as their match programmes used blue in the printing (here's one on eBay at the moment) it is only logical that this might have been their body colour for this season.
