Team colours
The Keflavík football team originally played in black shirts and white shorts. In 1973, the team changed its strip to yellow shirts and blue shorts. One reason given for the change was the memory of the team's first European away match, against Ferencváros in Budapest. The Keflavík players were playing in floodlights for the first time and had trouble spotting each other in their black shirts. Another reason was the fact that at the time all referees wore black so the black shirts of Keflavík were often frowned upon by referees and officials. The team wore the yellow and blue strip through the 80's, usually with an all-white change strip. At the start of the 1990 season, it was decided to revert to the team's original colours. The team had been relegated the previous season and the change was considered a fresh start and a throwback to the glory days of the 60's and early 70's. The black and white strip was used for six years with white shirts and black shorts as an alternative. In 1995 the board of Keflavík ÍFKeflavik ÍF

decided that the club's colours would be dark blue, white and red and that all teams representing the club should use dark blue as the main colour of their uniforms and clothing. At the start of the 1996 season the football team started to wear a dark blue strip with white stripes. The away strip is all red with white stripes.
