Every club has that kit design meeting, trying to agree on football kit colours with everyone and their dog... Someone’s set up a WhatsApp poll, someone’s cousin “does design”, and someone - there’s always one - wants all black with gold trim because they saw it on a Champions League night.
The football kit colours your club ends up in says more about you than any badge ever could. So before you commit your squad to a decade of teal, here’s our completely unscientific, thoroughly road-tested guide to what your kit colour really says about your club.
Blue
The sensible choice - and proud of it. Blue clubs have a treasurer who actually files receipts and a captain who arrives forty minutes early to put the nets up. Solid, dependable, occasionally spectacular. The kit equivalent of a firm handshake.
Red
You believe you’re the biggest club in the league. You might even be right. Red clubs don’t do quiet seasons - every match is a cup final, every throw-in gets an appeal. And here’s the thing: an actual study in Nature found that teams in red really do win more often in evenly matched contests. Your left-back says it’s because of the shirt. For once, science is on his side. Nobody argues with him.
Fluorescent yellow
You lost the vote. Or, officially: “visibility was a key factor in our decision.” Either way, you’ve never once been asked “which team were you again?” and the ref has never missed one of your runs. Silver linings.
White
Bold. Brave. Clearly not the person doing the washing. White kits look immaculate for exactly 11 minutes of the season opener, then spend the rest of the year in a losing battle with sliding tackles and that one boggy pitch by the river. Respect.
Black
Someone on your committee said the word “sleek” in a meeting and everyone just went with it. Black clubs warm up like they’re being filmed for a docu-series on their climb to the top of the league. Extra points if there’s gold trim. (We secretly love this combo).

Green
You either play next to actual countryside or you’re paying tribute to a pitch you wish you had. Green clubs are community to the core - three generations on the touchline and a tea hatch that deserves its own online review page.
Claret and blue
Tradition. Heritage. A founding date on the badge that you’ll mention within 90 seconds of any conversation. Claret and blue clubs don’t change their colours. They’ve had the same corner-taker since 2009 and he’s still got it.
Orange
The extroverts. Orange clubs are loud in the group chat, first to the post-match social, and completely unbothered that no one else in the league wanted the colour. That’s the point.
Or, like Oxton Ladies U10s Tigers, your club is built around your club's mascot identity. We love this approach - the Tigers look fierce!
Purple
The disruptors. Nobody picks purple by accident - you wanted to be different and you’ve committed. New clubs love purple: no history to honour, no rules to follow, just a statement. We salute you.
Pink
Five years ago this was a dare. Now it’s the home kit everyone secretly wants. Pink clubs have the best social media, sell the most replica shirts to parents, and have fully stopped explaining themselves. The pink revolution is complete!
Combinations that actually work
Picking one colour is only half the meeting. If you’re pairing two, the classics are classics for a reason: red with white trim, blue with white, green and white hoops, black with gold. High contrast between shirt and shorts or cohesive colours help players pick each other out with a glance - which is the closest a kit gets to a tactical advantage.
Stripes say heritage, hoops say character, a sash says you’ve done your research, and a gradient says the under-16s got a vote. All of them cost the same to print, so the only real rule is: check what the teams around you wear before you fall in love with someone else’s colours - and remember the ref has first claim on black.
The one that actually matters
Here’s the honest bit: there’s no wrong answer. The best kit colour is the one your squad pulls on and feels ten feet tall in - whether that’s your village’s colours since 1953 or a purple-and-pink gradient the under-16s voted for.
And because every My Club kit is fully sublimated, the wild option costs exactly the same as the safe one. Five colours, a gradient and your sponsor across the back - same price as plain blue. So design the kit you actually want.
