I'm sure I've read that somewhere or is it an urban legend?

If you ever get a chance to see the pogues....

Don't bother. Shane is an embarrassment now, £2 at a local pub and might be worth it, £20 for a drunken fool to forget his words and fall off the stage... na.

Post by: Disco Matt on November 17, 2009, 23:21:59: I'm given to understand that he was seen in red before Coke started using him in adverts. They may have popularised the red outfit, but I've seen drawings dating from pre-Coke times showing Santa in red.

Post by: Suvvey on November 18, 2009, 06:17:48: Yeah I Wiki'd it too :lol: Seems there had been some red outfits before hand but it was the popularity ofCoke-Cola's advertising campaign through the 1930's that seems to of standrdised him to the one we know nowadays.
