Kits and Colours
When the club was formed as the Lions in 1994, they decided to use the jumpers worn by Fitzroy Football Club in the AFL. This was for 2 reasons; firstly the colours more or less matched those of Farum BK, the local soccer club, and it was believed that that might have gotten them some financial help from the club later, and secondly, the Fitzroy jumpers had the lettering FFC on the front, matching the name Farum Football Club.
Later, newer Lions jumpers were used, and these had a Lion on the front, with the name Farum underneath. In 2002 Farum changed their moniker from Lions to Cats, and got a shipment of jumpers from Geelong Cats. They were greyish silver with the GFC shield of the Geelong Football Club on the stomach. These were used during Farum's greatest reign in the DAFL, when they won back to back to back premierships. At the time, the club also used a modified version of the GFC shield, spelling out FFC instead. In the 2008 season, the team sold the old jumpers to the players, and started using a new shipment of jumpers from Geelong. These were majorily large to extra large sized jumpers, with long sleeves in the 2006-7 style Cats clash jumper. A lot of the players did not, however, like these jumpers, as sleveless jumpers were preferred by many, and the few sleveless jumpers were pretty much always used. These were older, homestyle Cats jumpers from Fila while the others were of the brand Slazenger. In the 2010 final series the team started using their new original Farum Cats jumpers, after wearing different Geelong Cats jumpers since 2002. Their kit is mainly dark blue, with 2 thick white hoops, and the old FFC shield on the front, with the new one on the upper left, and the old (then current) DAFL shield on the upper right. The only cooperate name visible is Sekem, the manufacturer.

Knew Prince Alberts tall memorial took the colours of the floreal
And the borealic iceberg;”
