Colours and Badge
This section requires expansion. |
Alloa play in gold and black hoops, with black shorts and socks, and a change strip of dark blue with a yellow trim. The current strip is similar to the first strip worn – black and orange hooped jersey and stockings – which led to the club's nickname of The Wasps. The club have rarely strayed from a hooped design with an occasional stray to all-orange or all-gold. In the 1897–98 season, however, the jersey was navy blue and white stripes – the only departure from orange or gold.
The club have carried shirt sponsorship since 1984, using six different companies.

“The sounding cataract
Haunted me like a passion: the tall rock,
The mountain, and the deep and gloomy wood,
Their colours and their forms, were then to me
An appetite: a feeling and a love,
That had no need of a remoter charm,
By thought supplied, or any interest
Unborrowed from the eye.”
—William Wordsworth (17701850)
“In a borealic iceberg came Victoria; she
Knew Prince Alberts tall memorial took the colours of the floreal
And the borealic iceberg;”
—Dame Edith Sitwell (18871964)
