Founded in 1899, Scunthorpe United are instantly recognisable in their claret and blue colours — a combination that has defined the club for nearly a century. Originally playing in green and white, the club adopted the claret and blue palette in the 1920s, influenced by successful Midlands clubs of the era. Over time, it became uniquely theirs, earning them the nickname The Iron — a nod to the town’s industrial heritage.
Today, the colours symbolise pride, perseverance, and the strong working-class roots of the local community.
Scunthorpe’s early kits were simple and locally made, featuring plain shirts with minimal detail. As football modernised, manufacturers such as Umbro, Carlotti, Nike, Macron, and Erreà each left their mark on the club’s visual identity.
The 1970s saw the emergence of a consistent claret-and-blue design with sky-blue sleeves or trim — a look that remains central to their identity. Later decades introduced subtle modernisation: contrasting collars, bold sponsors, and, occasionally, full blue home kits.
Away shirts have traditionally included white, yellow, or turquoise — designs that often nod to the club’s industrial roots or to anniversary milestones.
1957/58 Home Shirt – worn as Scunthorpe reached the Second Division for the first time.
1962/63 Home Shirt – associated with their early years in the second tier and the rise of local heroes.
1998/99 Home Shirt – marking promotion via the play-offs at Wembley.
2011/12 Home Shirt – remembered from the club’s Championship campaigns in the late 2000s and early 2010s.
Industrial identity: The nickname The Iron comes from the town’s steel and ironworks, influencing several shirt designs with metallic or textured detailing.
Claret origins: The club adopted claret and blue in 1923, making them one of the earliest non-top-flight teams to use the combination.
Rare green revival: Scunthorpe have occasionally revived their original green shirts for anniversary matches — a rare and symbolic gesture.
Local links: Early shirts were made by tailors based in Scunthorpe itself, long before national kit deals existed.
Crest evolution: The famous “fist with football” crest, introduced in 1982, remains one of English football’s most distinctive club logos.
Kit diversity: Over the years, Scunthorpe have worn nearly every shade of blue — from pale sky to deep navy — depending on manufacturer interpretation.
Fan engagement: Several modern designs have been chosen through supporter votes, reflecting the club’s close community connection.
