Colours and Badge
Barrow's colours, are white and blue. A kit with blue shirts and white shorts was in use by 1912, though Barrow's original colours were black and white stripes, in the style of Newcastle United. From 1939 to 1959, a blue shirt with a white 'v' was a common design. Since then, the style of Barrow's kit has varied, from predominantly blue through to predominantly white, with occasional use of stripes or hoops. For the 2001–2002 season, Barrow played in black and white stripes, to celebrate the club's centenary year. Although the away colours of Barrow have varied over time, the club's 2010 FA Trophy victory came wearing a yellow kit with blue trim. Barrow's second kit now is sky blue.
Barrow's kit for the 2012–13 season will be manufactured by Puma.
The club's badge is based on the Barrow-in-Furness coat of arms. The badge features a submarine, representing the town's shipbuilding industry, a red rose symbolising Lancashire and an image of a football. Copied from the town badge is a rebus of a bee and an arrow, representing the club's name ("Bee-arrow").

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)
“When we reflect on our past sentiments and affections, our thought is a faithful mirror, and copies its objects truly; but the colours which it employs are faint and dull, in comparison of those in which our original perceptions were clothed.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“Repose and cheerfulness are the badge of the gentleman,—repose in energy.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
