History of the Walsall Football Shirts
Walsall football club was formulated by the joining together of two rival teams Walsall Town and Walsall Swifts. Walsall Town traditionally wore white and blue football kits, while Walsall Swifts usually wore burgundy coloured strips, but were also seen wearing yellow and black stripes in the 1870’s and blue, red and white stripes from 1882-83.
Following the amalgamation of the two clubs the team was known as Walsall Town Swifts. They began by wearing red and white stripe jerseys, switching to burgundy then a stylish half and half red and white shirt. In 1893 the club became known simply as Walsall.
In the early days of Walsall FC the squad switched between various coloured shirts primarily based on the colour schemes of their founding clubs. From 1949 – 1945 pillar box red was the colour of the Walsall home shirts. In 1965 they introduced a white jersey, and kept that colour scheme until 1976. With the exception of 1986-89, the 2008/09 season the Walsall home jersey has since always been red.
