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:
“What shall he have that killed the deer?
His leather skin and horns to wear.
Then sing him home.
Take thou no scorn to wear the horn,
It was a crest ere thou wast born;
Thy father’s father wore it,
And thy father bore it.
The horn, the horn, the lusty horn
Is not a thing to laugh to scorn.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“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)
