Raith Rovers first played in the white shirt with navy blue bands in the late 1950s as a second strip. One of the earliest pictures of Jim Baxter in a Raith Rovers shirt featured this shirt, which also had a white collar.
At the start of season 1963/64, a new more modern look to the strip was made and it became the team’s first strip. This featured a more up to date round neck to the shirt.
This was then to remain the Club’s top for the following eight seasons.
Some of Raith Rovers’ greatest players wore this iconic shirt.
Promotion to the top division was achieved wearing it in season 1966/67 after a four-year absence.
George Farm was the manager that achieved that with a team that featured Scottish football legend Bobby Evans, Pat Gardiner, and Rovers’ Hall of Famers Willie Polland, Gordon Wallace and Ian Porterfield.
Gordon Wallace won the Scottish Footballer of the Year Award wearing this shirt in season 1967/68.
This shirt has always been thought of fondly by a certain generation of Raith Rovers’ supporters and it is thought of throughout Scottish football as the quintessential Raith Rovers shirt. The shirt was changed to an all blue shirt in 1971.
After a 42-year-old spell without the white with two navy blue bands featuring as a Rovers shirt, a variation on the design reappeared as the Club’s first team colours in 2013, to great acclaim.
The Club went on to win the Ramsdens Cup that season, beating Rangers in this strip.
Now, the iconic shirt returns in 2024/25 season…
