The 1873β74 season was the first season of competitive football by Kilmarnock.
As founder members of the Scottish FA, Kilmarnock were one of 16 teams to enter the first edition of the Scottish Cup in 1873. [3] They were involved in the first ever match in the competition when they took on Renton at the neutral Hampden Park in Crosshill on 18 October 1873. [4] [5] Killie - who played the entire match with 10 men - were not used to playing under association rules and lost 2β0. [1] [3] [5]
During the club's early years, the team would play in Oxford blue shirts, white shorts and Oxford blue socks. The now traditional blue and white vertical stripes weren't introduced until 1896. [6]
