Uniforms of the Buffalo Soldiers
The Buffalo Soldiers wore the same uniforms as the rest of the U.S. Army of the same time period. The only difference was due to delivery times. New uniforms and equipment were delivered in the order of the regiment (IE: 1st Cavalry received the first shipments, then the 2nd, etc.) That meant that the 9th & 10th Cavalry received their uniforms and equipment after the other 8 regiments of Cavalry received theirs and the same with the 24th and 25th Infantry. This meant that it was usually about 4 years after an new uniform regulation came out before the 9th Cavalry, 10th Cavalry, 24th Infantry and 25th Infantry Regiments received their new equipment.
For early Indian Wars Buffalo Soldier uniforms (until 1876 or so), see Civil War uniforms.
For most of the Indian Wars Buffalo Soldier uniforms (1876 on), see Indian War uniforms.
