Real Sporting de Gijón have worn red and white striped jerseys since their inception, being the first Spanish team to wear red and white, as both [[Athletic Bilbao]] and [[Atlético Madrid]] wore blue and white until 1909. The colors are those of the official flag of [[Gijón]], which itself is based on the flag of the maritime province of Gijón, established in 1845.<ref>{{cite web| title = Las Banderas del Club| url = http://www.realsporting.com/webrsg/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=75&Itemid=87| publisher = RealSporting.com| access-date = 2009-10-08| language = es| url-status = dead| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20091006050306/http://www.realsporting.com/webrsg/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=75&Itemid=87| archive-date = 6 October 2009}}</ref> The color of the shorts alternated between blue and white, as in the first years there was not any officiality for its colors. In the 1910s, finally, the color blue was established as the color of the shorts of the first kit.

Currently, Sporting wears both blue shorts and socks but until the 1980s they were black. In the 1990s, Sporting wore white shorts and socks, until the supporters voted to come back to the traditional blue.

Like most old football clubs, Real Sporting de Gijón did not initially have any badge displayed on their shirts. Their first official badge was introduced in the 1920s. It consisted of a traditionally shaped shield split into three sections, representing the club and the city.

From 1931 to 1936, during the [[Spanish Second Republic]], the badge consisted of a circular shield and had the [[Crown (heraldry)|royal crown]] in the top replaced by a [[mural crown]].

The club's badge is a triangle with red and white vertical stripes with 'S' (for Sporting) and 'G' (for Gijón) intertwined, in gold, across them. A crown in the top symbolizes the royal patronage.<ref>{{cite web| title = Los Escudos| url = http://www.realsporting.com/webrsg/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=77&Itemid=89| publisher = RealSporting.com| access-date = 2009-10-08| language = es| url-status = dead| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20091006050311/http://www.realsporting.com/webrsg/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=77&Itemid=89| archive-date = 6 October 2009}}</ref>
