 The club is associated with two very different colour schemes — white and black ( first permanently adopted in 1920 ) , and orange , navy and white ( first used in 1973 , and worn by the team as of the 2015 – 16 season ) . Luton mainly wore a combination of light blue and white before 1920 , when white shirts and black shorts were first adopted . These colours were retained for over half a century , with the colour of the socks varying between white and black , until Luton changed to orange , navy and white at the start of the 1973 – 74 season . Luton began playing in white shirts , shorts and socks in 1979 , with the orange and navy motif reduced to trim ; navy shorts were adopted in 1984 . This palette was retained until the 1999 – 2000 season , when the team played in orange shirts and blue shorts . From 2000 to 2008 , Luton returned to white shirts and black shorts ; orange was included as trim until 2007 . The white , navy and orange palette favoured in the 1980s was brought back in 2008 , following the results of a club poll , but a year later the colours were changed yet again , this time to a predominantly orange strip with white shorts . Navy shorts were readopted in 2011 . Luton are wearing orange shirts , navy shorts and white socks during the 2015 – 16 season .
