 Like all football clubs , Albion sport a secondary or " change " strip when playing away from home against a team whose colours clash with their own . As long ago as the 1890s , and throughout much of the club 's early history , a change strip of white jerseys with black shorts was worn . The away shirt additionally featured a large ' V ' during the First World War . In the 1935 FA Cup Final however , when both of Albion and Sheffield Wednesday 's kits clashed , a switch was made to plain navy blue shirts . An all @-@ red strip was adopted at the end of the 1950s , but was dropped following defeat in the 1967 League Cup Final , to be replaced by the all @-@ white design that was worn during the club 's FA Cup run of 1967 – 68 . Since then the away strip has changed regularly , with yellow and green stripes the most common of a number of different designs used . In the 1990s and 2000s a third kit has occasionally been introduced .
