Club Crest and Colours
The club crest contains a graphic of Gisborough Priory, a notable Guisborough landmark.
Guisborough Town were formed in 1973 and took their colours from the club that won that year's FA Cup final. They continued to play in red and white stripes, black shorts and red stockings, until a few years ago when they spent time in the Second Division. They now celebrate their return to the Top Flight and will be playing in the original colours for the 2012-13 season.
The 2012/13 season sees the home kit being red and white striped shirt, black shorts and red socks and sponsored by Taylor Wimpey with away kit being all blue sponsored by Cleveland Land Services.

Famous quotes containing the words club, crest and/or colours:
“At first, it must be remembered, that [women] can never accomplish anything until they put womanhood ahead of wifehood, and make motherhood the highest office on the social scale.”
—“Jennie June” Croly 1829–1901, U.S. founder of the woman’s club movement, journalist, author, editor. Demorest’s Illustrated Monthly and Mirror of Fashions, pp. 24-5 (January 1870)
“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)
“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)
