Why is there red in our badge?
Any ideas? Never been a fan of it & am curious the reason behind it.

It symbolises the blood of Jesus. Either that or international socialism.
its a common away kit colour i guess
but that shouldnt qualify it for a place on the badge

It was done in anticipation of the club being bought by a Malaysian businessman, and so that the club's name could be changed to the Reading Reds.

It's not just Red - it's 'Autotrader Red'.
Look at their logo, remember who started the company and what he spent a fair chunk of the profits on, then have a guess!

The blue is for the seas that we'll never cross
The red is for the blood that we never spill
The Yellow is the reason why.

Reading have always been the club of socialism, none more so than when Karl 'Marx' Sheppard was leading the line for us.

Red is probably on there because someone thought it looked nice.

Not nailed it. The club held a competition and a fan sent in the current design and it was chosen!

We had George Marks in goal for us in the 1950's of course.
