What teams play in pink strips?
Palermo are the most famous as their home kit is pink. Juventus had a kit in 1900 that was pink & regularly bring back pink in their away or goalkeepers shirts. Also Everton have a shocking pink kit as their away kit this season (2010/2011). Barcelona also has a kit which is described as pink by some websites but looks more orange if you watch HD TV so I am not including it.
Many other teams in the past have had pink away kits, pink goalkeepers tops, one off pink kits for charity (usually breast cancer) & some teams have even started to sell alternative home kits with pink in aimed mainly at female supporters.
This is the list of clubs which I have found who (past or present) played in pink or have sold pink versions of kits:
Palermo, Juventus, Everton, Benfica, Sevilla, Ireland, Scotland, Portsmouth, Oldham Athletic, Huddersfield Town, Bristol Rovers, Brighton & Hove Albion, Partick Thistle, Shamrock Rovers, Bohemians, Bochum, Toronto, Boston Breakers, Weymouth & Cerezo Osaka

When why and who invented soccer?
The 'Laws of the game' for Soccer or Association Football were written by in 1863 by a Solicitor from Hull, England called E.C. Morley. He wrote the rules for and behalf of newly formed Football Association or FA. The rules were based on the Cambridge University football rules first drafted in 1848. These new rules were the latest in a long line of attempts to standardise the many forms of football which had been played in and around Britain for hundreds of years. Ultimately the FA failed as the game of football had already spread thorough the English speaking world where emigrants were developing their own unique forms of the game. These games include American Football, Canadian Football and Australian Rules football to mention a few. All these games can trace their roots back to a ball game played in medieval Europe known to history as Shrovetide Football. Gaelic football, played in Ireland, can also trace its roots back to a form of this medieval ball game known as Caid.
