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:
“I should need
Colours and words that are unknown to man,
To paint the visionary dreariness”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“So different are the colours of life, as we look forward to the future, or backward to the past; and so different the opinions and sentiments which this contrariety of appearance naturally produces, that the conversation of the old and young ends generally with contempt or pity on either side.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“Signor Antonio, many a time and oft
In the Rialto you have rated me
About my moneys and my usances.
Still have I borne it with a patient shrug,
For sufferance is the badge of all our tribe.
You call me misbeliever, cutthroat dog,
And spit upon my Jewish gaberdine,
And all for use of that which is mine own.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
