Aston Villa were the first. They started to wear claret & blue from 1887.
Aston Villa were one of the dozen teams that competed in the inaugural Football League in 1888 with one of the club's directors, William McGregor being the league's founder.
According to West Ham's club historian, John Helliar, on 14th September, 1901, West Ham "took to the field wearing their new colours of light blue jerseys, with a claret band, and white knickers with a red stripe."
Later in 1911 Burnley's committee decided to drop the supposedly unlucky green shirts in favour of the claret and blue associated with the famous Aston Villa.
