=== Kits ===
When the club was founded in 1906, its players wore white jerseys. On 25 October 1908, Sporting presented the first ten football shirts that would come to be known as the Stromp kit. The initiative came from founder Eduardo Quintela de Mendonça. The Stromp kit is split at the top, with the right half white and the left half painted green. It was named in honour of one of the club's main founders, [[Francisco Stromp]], and it had white shorts, with the shorts changing to black in 1915. It stopped being used as the main jersey in 1928.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Sporting não terá equipamento Stromp esta época mas vai homenagear símbolo a abrir 2024 - Sporting - Jornal Record |url=https://www.record.pt/futebol/futebol-nacional/liga-betclic/sporting/detalhe/sporting-nao-tera-equipamento-stromp-esta-epoca-mas-vai-homenagear-simbolo-a-abrir-2024 |access-date=2024-04-25 |website=Record}}</ref> On 6 November 1927, the horizontally striped green and white jerseys that Salazar Carreira, sportsman and sports manager linked to the club since 1912,<ref>{{Cite web |date=2012-11-02 |title=Evocação de Salazar Carreira |url=https://www.sporting.pt/pt/noticias/clube/2012-11-02/evocacao-de-salazar-carreira |access-date=2024-05-20 |website=Sporting|language=pt-pt}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=José Salazar Carreira |url=https://www.dn.pt/dossiers/desporto/sporting/os-presidentes/jose-salazar-carreira-982779.html/ |access-date=2024-05-20 |website=Diário de Notícias |language=pt}}</ref> had chosen for [[Sporting CP (rugby union)|the club's rugby team]] in 1926<ref name=":17" /> were worn by the football team for the first time in a [[Exhibition game|friendly match]] against [[Casa Pia A.C.|Casa Pia]], but after that the Stromp kit continued to be used. When Sporting's football team travelled to Brazil in July 1928, and after considering the weather conditions in that country, it was decided to wear the horizontally striped jerseys<ref name=":17">{{Cite web |title=Sporting: equipamento de 24/25 homenageia Stromp e será estreado no sábado |url=https://cnnportugal.iol.pt/sporting/equipamento/sporting-equipamento-de-24-25-homenageia-stromp-e-sera-estreado-no-sabado |access-date=2024-05-15 |website=CNN Portugal |language=pt}}</ref> because they were lighter and tighter to the body. On their return, the Sporting's football team once again wore the traditional split jerseys known as the Stromp kit. However, on 5 October 1928, in a match against Benfica, whether it was because of the heavy rain that made them too heavy, or for some other reason, at half-time the players swapped their usual jerseys for the striped ones, thus establishing what is still the club's main kit today: green and white horizontally striped jersey with black shorts.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2015-03-26 |title=Camisolas |url=https://www.sporting.pt/pt/clube/historia/camisolas |access-date=2024-04-25 |website=Sporting |language=pt-pt}}</ref>
