Crest and Colours
- For a complete pictorial history of Ayr United playing kit, see the Historical Football Kits site.
The first Ayr United kit of Red and Gold was inherited from Ayr FC, one of the clubs in the merger (the other Ayr Parkhouse), was used from 1910 until 1914. Then it was replaced with Black and White which used until 1938, when navy blue now supported white as the colour on the playing kit. After only two years, War broke out, when it finished black was once again on the kits of Ayr United and blue wasn't to feature again until 1958. Black & White hoops featured again in the 1960s, and the home colours remained white with black trimmings throughout the twentieth century. The Centenary Season saw the re-introduction of the traditional hooped shirt.

Famous quotes containing the words crest and/or colours:
“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)
“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)
