===Away kit=== The club's [[away kit]]s have only begun to change since the 1990s 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 [[Football League Cup Final 1969|1969 League Cup Final]] victory where they elected to wear an all-white strip. For a period in the 1980s the club changed their away kit to white shirts and black shorts and introduced a new third kit of yellow shirts and blue shorts.<ref name="away kits">{{Cite web|url=http://www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk/Kits.asp?Season=1984-1985|title=Season 1984β1985|access-date=15 January 2007|publisher=swindon-town-fc.co.uk|work=Kits}}</ref> The club alternated between these two schemes as its away kit for the 1980s. When the club re-branded in the 1991 close season, it introduced a new away strip: the white and green "potato print" shirt with dark blue shorts.<ref name="away kits2">{{Cite web|url=http://www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk/Kits.asp?Season=1991-1992|title=Season 1991β1992|access-date=15 January 2007|publisher=swindon-town-fc.co.uk|work=Kits}}</ref> This remained in use until its replacement in 1993 with another yellow and blue strip, integrating the new colour scheme by adding a green collar.<ref name="away kits3">{{Cite web|url=http://www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk/Kits.asp?Season=1993-1994|title=Season 1993β1994|access-date=15 January 2007|publisher=swindon-town-fc.co.uk|work=Kits}}</ref> A special third kit was added for the 1996β97 season and was coloured "petrol green" in honour of sponsors [[Castrol]]. Swindon wore black and gold striped away shirts for the 2003β04 season with an all-white third kit, following this with variants on the blue theme until returning to all-white in 2007.<ref name="2007kit"/> In 2008β09 they returned to the dark blue away kit that was used previously for the 2006β07 season but this time they had white shorts instead of a whole dark blue strip. In 2009β10 they returned once again to the all-white kit, but unlike the home kit, which showed ''[[FourFourTwo]]'' on the front, this showed ''[[FIFA 10|FIFA10]]'' on the front as a part of sponsorship with [[Electronic Arts|EA]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Coca Cola League One 2009 β 2010|work=Historical Football Kits |url=http://historicalkits.co.uk/English_Football_League/season/2009-2010/league-one.html |access-date=21 January 2013}}</ref> They also this year had an all-blue third kit which was featured for the FA Cup and also the play-off away game to Charlton. In 2010β11 they had an all-black third kit.<ref>{{cite web|title=Npower League One 2010 β 2011|work=Historical Football Kits|url=http://historicalkits.co.uk/English_Football_League/season/2010-2011/league-one.html|access-date=21 January 2013}}</ref> The all-black kit became the club's away kit for the 2011β12 season with an all-white kit as a third kit used for the FA Cup run. This kit caused controversy among some fans, because it had the sponsors ''[[The People (newspaper)|The People]]'' printed on the shirts. For 2012β13 they had a blue and yellow away kit, again controversial as these are the colours of Swindon's close rivals [[Oxford United F.C.|Oxford United]]. For the 2021β22 season, they released a checkered gold and green kit. The colours of the [[Australia men's national soccer team|Australia]] national team, paying homage to the new Australian owner Clem Morfuni. Later in the season they also released a special all black third kit. This included a darkened club badge, intended to signify the club coming "out of the darkness" following the take over of the new owner.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Swindon launch all-black third kit in nod to takeover journey|url=https://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/19745854.swindon-town-launch-all-black-third-kit-rest-2021-22-league-two-season/|access-date=10 December 2021|website=Swindon Advertiser|date=27 November 2021 |language=en}}</ref>
