In 1845, the New York Knickerbockers became the first organized baseball club. Four years later, at a meeting held April 24, 1849, the club adopted an official uniform: blue woolen pantaloons, white flannel shirts and chip (straw) hats. Though the straw hats were abandoned a few years later, the Knickerbockers retained blue and white as the team colors for decades to come.
