 Andover 's traditional strip of red and black stripes was worn for the vast majority of their history . This was changed to red and black quarters in 1950 and remained so until 1957 when the club reverted to the traditional stripes . When promotion to the Southern League was gained in 1972 , the team 's colours were changed , this time to red with a single white stripe . This kit was worn until 1988 , when the familiar red and black stripes were re @-@ introduced . For the 2008 – 09 season , a plain red kit was introduced to commemorate the club 's 125th anniversary — this was worn for the first time in the pre @-@ season friendly against Salisbury City . The last away kit worn by the team was yellow and black shirts with white shorts . However , various combinations have been worn in recent years , such as white shirts with blue sleeves and blue shorts , and tangerine shirts with white shorts .
