Club Colours
Orrell traditionally played in black and amber hooped shirts until they formed their first major technical partnership in 1993 with Nuttalls, seeing them switch to an all-black home kit with yellow, red and white hoops on the arms. The away for that season was a reverse with amber the dominant color. They employed a white version of this kit for their European tours and a red away version for the 1994–1995 season.
They reverted back to black and amber hoop designs with Cica (1995–97) and Halbro (1997–00) before switching to Patrick in the summer of 2000. Their 2001–2005 jerseys were sponsored by JJB and featured amber lines on the sides and sleeves. For the 2006/7 season, the clubs kit was produced by Kooga and sponsored by Bullit Recruitment Solutions. For the 2008-9 season, the club reverted to its original badge and used a low-budget amber and black hooped jersey.

Famous quotes containing the words club and/or colours:
“Women ... are completely alone, though they were born and bred upon this soil, as if they belonged to another class in creation.”
—“Jennie June” Croly 1829–1901, U.S. founder of the woman’s club movement, journalist, author, editor. F, Demorest’s Illustrated Monthly Mirror of Fashions, pp. 363-4 (December 1870)
“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)
