Watford Football Club, commonly known as Watford, has a colorful and distinctive kit history that reflects the club's identity and evolution over the years.
Formed in 1881, Watford's first kits came in a variety of designs and colors, including blue and white hoops and plain blue shirts. However, in the late 1950s, the club adopted their iconic yellow and black kit, which has since become synonymous with Watford.
The decision to use yellow and black was influenced by the colors of Huddersfield Town, a club that Bill McGarry, then Watford manager, admired. The yellow and black kits remain a constant feature of the club's identity, earning them the nickname "The Hornets" due to their distinctive colour. Over the years, Watford has occasionally experimented with different designs and shades of yellow, but the iconic yellow and black combination remains the top choice for the home kit.
Watford's away and replacement kits come in a variety of designs and color combinations, but yellow and black are often incorporated into designs to maintain the club's identity.
In recent times, Watford's kits feature modern designs and advancements in fabric technology, giving players a more comfortable outfit on the pitch.
As with most football clubs, the sponsor logo has become a prominent feature on Watford's kits, providing much-needed financial support to the club.
