Another colour we had was maroon and yellow quarters. A black and blue kit used in 2000ish was deemed as too black to clash with the ref so we went back to stripes. Will try and find some info out for you, we too are interested by the kit history. Sure tradional colours are born out of whatever kit the club could get there hands on or whichever colour the manager at the time fancied... so probably not too much story behind it unlike professional clubs. might be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perranwell Twins Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 ahh we added blue tape to the back of the infamous black kit so that it not clash with the ref! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Newquay AFC in 1906 (and possibly before) wore Red & White striped shirts, the clubs nickname 'The Peppermints' came from supporters mentioning that the shirts resembled a boiled peppermint sweet of that era.
