Football socks are designed to protect the leg muscles, bones and knee joints of the player hence the the shin pads worn underneath to afford protection to the wearer. In recent times they have also become fetishistic to many and worn over the knee on the pitch as a fashion statement and by many people as a fashion accessory.

If you're talking about the official BSA green socks with the red stripe around the top, the answer is yes. The official policy is that something that was once a uniform item can always be worn. Any vintage uniforms can still be worn. Now whether what you're asking about is something that should be worn is another question.

Do you wear the shinguards under your socks?
Yes you do. You wear them underneath your socks so that they can hold the shinguards up and you have a little bit more protection. Also it makes you kick harder than you would if you had the shinguards over your socks. (and if you wore the shinguards over the socks, there wouldn't be much point in the socks.)

What can you wear with striped knee-high socks?
Well, firstly, it depends what colours they are. If they're quite bright, I'd go all out and mix and match patterns in the outfit. But if they're dark, I'd keep it to the same sort of colours. Of course, it all depends on your style. I'd wear a skirt, as I really don't think any kind of trousers go with knee socks. For shoes, I think almost anything goes with them, really, but I'd wear sneakers.
