From Threads of Our Game:
February 1890, Chicago (NL) v. St. Augustine, exhibition game: “There was a great cheer when the Chicagos appeared on the field. Their uniform is a light gray, with black stockings, black caps and trimmings of the same color.” From the Chicago Inter Ocean, February 15, 1890. Research from Don Stokes.

the image came from his 1880s old judge card which had the team listed as the maroons which was a minor league team, but that definitely works too as a nice view of what he would have looked like in a Colts uniform. thanks!
