Team colors

I couldn't find any verification that the team wore green and black (as the infobox has indicated until now). Below is what I did find, for future reference.

As the New York A.C. wear white uniforms, the same as the P.A.C., the latter borrowed the sweaters of the Bankers, which they turned inside out, hiding the big yellow dollar mark. All the P.A.C. players wore black sweaters except Harry Edwards at goal, who was in white from top to bottom, displaying on his breast the familiar triangle of the P.A.C.'s. Both teams sport the same colors, white and red. --Pittsburgh Post, 3 Mar 1900 [1]
In a game replete with sensational plays and scientific team play the red and white of P.A.C. triumphed over the blue and old gold of the Bankers last night. --Pittsburgh Post, 12 Dec 1900 [2]
The Bankers' new uniforms will be all blue with the letter B in white. --Pittsburgh Gazette, 1 Dec 1903 [3]
Charles S. Miller still has charge of the Crimson and White, of which the old P.A.C. was known the world over, while the gold dollar mark of the Bankers is almost as well known. --Pittsburgh Gazette Times, 1 Dec 1907 [4]

A photo from late 1908 shows a two-tone (light/dark) dollar sign. [5]
