As with most football clubs the shirt design varies from season to season. One particular design that stands out is the 1989-90 season shirt which featured white stars on a red background and has been named as one of the worst shirts ever. [3] However, the kit is fondly remembered by some fans. Sponsors names and logos were first worn in the 1980-81 season and the club has had 12 different sponsors on the shirt in total. Since manufacturers logos were added to the shirt in the 1976-77 season, the club has 12 different kit manufacturers.

The home shirt is the traditional red with white stitching from the collar to underneath the arms and around the end of the sleeves. The collar itself is white. The shorts are white with a thick red band down each side with red stitching down the front. The socks are red with a thick white band running down the back getting wider further down.
The away strip is of the same design as the home strip substituting ecru for red and navy blue for white.
For next season, financial backer Patrick Cryne has secured Lotto as the manufacturer, replacing Surridge, who produced a poor effort with the writing peeling off most shirts. Barnsley Building Society will also replace Wake Smith Solicitors as the main club sponsor after the Sheffield firm was emblazoned on the Reds' shirts throughout their 2007-08 FA Cup run.
