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:
“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)
“The sounding cataract
Haunted me like a passion: the tall rock,
The mountain, and the deep and gloomy wood,
Their colours and their forms, were then to me
An appetite: a feeling and a love,
That had no need of a remoter charm,
By thought supplied, or any interest
Unborrowed from the eye.—”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“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)
