Alloa Athletic F.C. - Colours and Badge

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.

Famous quotes containing the words colours and, colours and/or badge:

    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 (1770–1850)

    In a borealic iceberg came Victoria; she
    Knew Prince Albert’s tall memorial took the colours of the floreal
    And the borealic iceberg;
    Dame Edith Sitwell (1887–1964)

    Repose and cheerfulness are the badge of the gentleman,—repose in energy.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
