- Back to where it all began! The famous Newton Heath badge – never before produced on a Football Shirt. The material has been modernised with short sleeves. The badge embroidered to the chest in all its glory! It is believed that after a whip-round among the players and a contribution from the Dining Room Committee, the club purchased a set of cashmere jerseys in green and gold, the colours of the parent company, in 1881. The club’s reputation grew and in 1889, the Heathens had joined the Football Alliance, formed as rivals to the Football League. Research by Paul Nagel indicates that the club switched from green and gold to red and white shirts sometime around 1888 or 1889 (the old jerseys were retained as change colours) Whilst this badge would not have appeared on te originals, it is the crest from the era that would most likely have appeared if the technology was available to do so.
