Pink and navy blue striped jerseys and caps were the first attire of Luton Town.
The caps were discarded first, and the hues changed swiftly after. First, a cochineal red shirt, followed by a sky blue one, and finally fitted with a belt and navy blue ‘V’. 1920 was marked by the team joining the third division of the league marked by the monochrome jersey. The iconic orange appeared in 1973 but was promptly retracted on public demand.

Conclusion
Bestowed in 1876 the Borough Council’s coat of arms inspired the emblem with the bee representing industry and the hive standing specifically for the straw plaiting one which became the fame of Luton made possible by the straw which in turn finds its humble place on the logo as the wheatsheaf.
The rose is a homage to the patron Robert Napier and the thistle of the country it originated in. The modern logo of Luton Town FC is in jerky contrast to its previous glorious emblem. The current shows “Lt” upon an orange football that has neither the style nor the sophistication of 1876 one.
