The Gosforth Road Club was founded on the 27th July 1951 and its badge, the Keep of the Norman Castle in Newcastle was adopted from the emblem of Gosforth Urban District Council, the local administrative authority. The club colours of tangerine, green, and white were taken from the emblem. The original design was a white jersey with three horizontal bands around the chest, the tangerine being the largest of the three. The sleeves and neck were ribbed in tangerine and green. As was the norm at the time the jerseys were made of wool and it was common for the top to have two breast pockets as well as three rear pockets.
