Colours and Crest
Ashington's colours are black and white vertical stripes, used on the shirt and paired with black shorts and black socks for home matches. While away, they use an all light blue shirt and socks with white shorts.
The Ashington AFC badge has two lions flanking a badge with a stylized AFC logo, with a soccer ball between the legs of the A. Above and below the badge are banners showing the 1888 year of establishment (though the club was founded in 1883) and the town name, respectively.

“The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
