Colours
Kedah FA's traditional colours are red and black, but currently the home kit has been in the colours of green and yellow since 1988. This idea was suggested by Dato' Shukri Hashim after Kedah FA Deputy President, Ahmad Basri Akil asked for a different set of colours for the home kit. However, Ahmad Basri changed Shukri's idea to 'green and yellow' which fits the Kedah state's nickname Jelapang Padi (the paddy granary) and the colour of ripe paddy better. Nowadays, the green and yellow colours are not only used by the Kedah football team but are also used by other Kedahan teams of other sports.
The Kedah FA kit is currently manufactured by Lotto sportswear. Their previous kit manufacturers were Line 7, Lotto and Puma. Kedah FA's first team sponsor was Japanese electronics manufacturer Sharp, from 1989 to 2000. Following that, the club was sponsored by Modenas a Malaysian national motorcycle company. Their current shirt sponsor is Kedah State Development Corporation (Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Kedah or PKNK) which had been the main team sponsor of Kedah FA since 2005.

Famous quotes containing the word colours:
“Your wits can’t thicken in that soft moist air, on those white springy roads, in those misty rushes and brown bogs, on those hillsides of granite rocks and magenta heather. You’ve no such colours in the sky, no such lure in the distances, no such sadness in the evenings. Oh the dreaming! the dreaming! the torturing, heart-scalding, never satisfying dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming!”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“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)
“My faith is the grand drama of my life. I’m a believer, so I sing words of God to those who have no faith. I give bird songs to those who dwell in cities and have never heard them, make rhythms for those who know only military marches or jazz, and paint colours for those who see none.”
—Olivier Messiaen (1908–1992)
