Swindon Town have used at least five different kit badges since their inception. Beneath the shield was a motto on a scroll — " Salubritas et Industria " — meaning "health and industry". During the s the club changed the badge to one referred to as the "ST arrow" or "traffic sign" badge. Also shown was a simple football and the club name. Following the —86 season, the "Steam Train" badge was re-introduced onto the kits.
A diamond shaped crest for Swindon Town was introduced at the beginning of the —92 season following a series of financial problems for the club. The idea behind the new crest was to give the club a new fresh image. On 5 April , the club unveiled plans to change the badge, claiming the diamond badge was correct for the time, but did not represent or show any of the club's heritage or history. On 23 April , it was announced that option three of the logo vote was the winner of the poll it can be seen on the far right of the picture. It has been in use since the beginning of the —08 season.
Originally playing in black and white with the addition of blue sash for away games, [1] the club changed to black and red quarters on entry to the Southern League in With problems obtaining green dyes, the kit was short-lived and Swindon Town changed their shirts to the more familiar red in Swindon Town have played their home games in variations on the red and white theme since then, wearing a red shirt with white collars and white or red shorts for much of their history which has led to the team being known as the "Red and White Army".
For example; the kit worn during the —86 Division Four Champions season consisted of a red shirt with white pinstripes, white shorts and red socks and chants of " Lou Macari 's Red and White Army" were heard from the supporters at the final stages of the season. Following the rebranding of the club in , green elements were re-introduced onto the home strip and badge to represent the team's short-lived kit from the turn of the century. These were removed in The club's away kits have only begun to change since the s and the advent of the lucrative replica kit market.
Swindon's first away kit that was entirely separate to the home kit consisted of an all-blue strip; this was not used for the club's League Cup Final victory where they elected to wear an all-white strip. For a period in the s the club changed their away kit to white shirts and black shorts and introduced a new third kit of yellow shirts and blue shorts.
When the club re-branded in the close season, it introduced a new away strip: the white and green "potato print" shirt with dark blue shorts.

A special third kit was added for the —97 season and was coloured "petrol green" in honour of the then sponsors Castrol. Swindon wore black and gold striped away shirts for the —04 season with an all-white third kit, following this with variants on the blue theme until returning to all-white in In —09 they returned to the dark blue away kit that was used previously for the —07 season but this time they had white shorts instead of a whole dark blue strip.
In —10 they returned once again to the all-white kit, but unlike the home kit, which showed FourFourTwo on the front, this showed ' FIFA10 ' on the front as a part of sponsorship with EA. In —11 they had an all-black third kit. This kit caused controversy among some fans, because it had the sponsors The People printed on the shirts. For —13 they had a blue and yellow away kit, again controversial as these are the colours of Swindon's close rivals Oxford United. Since Swindon's kit has been manufactured by Puma. Swindon Town have been playing at the County Ground since They played their games on the site of the adjacent cricket pitch also called the County Ground from until the ground opened.
Since its original construction, the ground has been periodically updated with new features or fittings. A cover on the Shrivenham Road side was erected in , followed by the current roof at the Town End. The War Department took over the ground in , where for a while POWs were housed in huts placed on the pitch. These were first tried out v. Bristol City on 2 April beating Arsenal by six months. These original set of lights were supplemented by lights on both side stand roofs, which were sufficient for the County Ground to stage its first floodlit league match on 29 February v.
The present pylons date from The ground currently contains elements constructed between and , with the latest addition being the large sponsored stand on the south side. The County Ground is also the only football stadium in the world with a Rolex watch acting as its timekeeper, the clock on the Stratton Bank stand featuring its name was erected to celebrate promotion in The ground itself is on land owned by Swindon Borough Council to which the club pays rent.
Swindon have in the past considered a move to a club owned stadium to generate more revenue, but have not had the financial backing to do so. In a redevelopment campaign for the County Ground began, [52] with the club and TrustSTFC the supporters' trust raising a petition to 'Save Our Home' urging the Borough Council to "facilitate the redevelopment of the stadium and do everything they can to keep the club within the Borough" [53] including the proposed upgrading of the adjacent Cricket Club to County standard and Athletic Club to Olympic standard.
As an expanding railway town, the club had attendances of up to 32, on match days until the early s. Due to Swindon's low unemployment rate one of the lowest in the United Kingdom , [54] more people work in the town than live there and so are unlikely to support the team. With an all-seated capacity of 15, at the County Ground, Swindon averaged a home attendance of 5, for the —05 season. A core group of fans has inhabited the Town End of the stadium since the s, producing past fanzines such as "The 69'er", "Bring the Noise" "Randy Robin" and "The Magic Roundabout" [62] amongst others.
The red and white army is a term the supporters use to identify themselves as well. The Junior Robins is the children's supporters club which operates to provide lower ticket prices, away game activities and transport to young fans. This organisation is a democratically elected group of fans who raise funds for the club and aim to give supporters access and input into decisions made by the club's board. This report researched those teams that were the most stressful to support.
Swindon Town were placed 5th out of all 92 League clubs, [68] with the report stating —. Relegation from the top flight in was followed by a second successive drop, and although promotion from Division Two was secured a year later, the team struggled in Division One in the next three seasons, finishing 19th, 18th and 17th. In came relegation, and a year later Swindon avoided another 'double relegation' by just one point. A glimmer of hope came when the play-offs were reached in — ending in a semi-final loss to Brighton — but last term Town became the first club to drop into the bottom tier of the Football League having once been in the Premier League.
We bet Robins' fans can hardly believe it. With the dwindling support during matches in the —05 season, another fans' group "Red Army Loud and Proud" was formed. With the stated aim of being "the 12th man on the pitch", [69] the group sponsors players and also provides large colourful flags to the matches. However, in more recent years —11 Swindon has rapidly increasing attendances with an 8, average attendance for the —11 season despite relegation. The incidents were diabolical.
Macari said the incident was "worse than a Celtic—Rangers game ". In the s, the Swindon Active Service SAS came to prominence and it is believed they were at the centre of several hostilities with fans of local rivals Oxford and Reading. On 16 December , Swindon recorded one of their highest attendances of the season: 10, at a home win against rivals Bristol Rovers.
