1953-1955
You probably knew Reading once worse stripes, but did you know that for two seasons our home shirt was plain white with a blue collar? It seems a very un-Reading kit though it is actually quite a historic one.
Our new kit in 1953 not only signalled a change in kit design, but was also the first time we wore a badge on our shirt. The badge itself is rather bland and was ditched after just a year. It would be another 12 years before a Reading kit would again sport a badge.

1981-1983
Our second kit is another historic one. When it was introduced for the 1981/82 season it became just the third kit and season that Reading wore a badge, and it was the third different design.
Unlike the previous two versions, this one is still remembered by fans today, and the badge the club wore for our last two seasons at Elm Park was heavily influenced by it.
Our second season wearing this kit was the first time we ever had a sponsor on our shirt and, as you can see, it was the Reading Chronicle who had the honour. They and the hoops were ditched at the end of the season, and it would be nine years before Reading would once again don the hoops.
