Wessex League Division One champions New Milton Town to reclaim original club colours for 2025/26 season

New Milton Town have confirmed that they are going back to their roots with confirmation of kit colour change.

The Brickmakers, who were crowned Wessex League Division One champions last season, have worn a red and blue home strip since their formation in 1998 – a legacy carried over from the merger with Lymington FC.

However, from 2025/26, the club have revealed that they will ‘reclaim the original club colours of yellow and blue’ after striking a partnership with teamwear partnership GOAT.

A statement on the club’s website read: “These kits will mark more than just a change in design. They will represent a powerful return to our heritage.

“After proudly wearing red and blue since 1998, a legacy carried over from the merger with Lymington FC, we are now reclaiming our original club colours of yellow and blue.

“This decision is about more than tradition. It’s about building our own identity. This evolution began last season, when our supporters voted to change the club’s nickname from the Linnets (a symbol more closely tied to Lymington) to something that reflects our own legacy.

“We are now, of course, known as the Brickmakers. Rooted in the town’s historic brickmaking industry, this nickname isn’t just about where we came from; it’s about the strength and character of our community. We've already seen the nickname embraced in the stands and on the terraces, with fans proudly calling us ‘the Brickies’.

“Our identity and colours are changing, but our core values at the M.A. Hart Stadium remain the same: ambition, courage and determination. These changes are just the beginning.”

The club also added that next season will see them return to the FA Cup for the first time since 2015/16.
