Crawley Town will celebrate their 125th anniversary by introducing a new commemorate badge for the 2021-22 season.

Both the Reds' home and away kits for the upcoming campaign will be adorned with the new badge, as well as the club's official leisurewear and training range.

Crawley's social media pages will also don the new crest to mark the historic milestone.

Crawley Town were formed in 1896 and the club played at many different grounds in and around the town during their spell in the West and Mid Sussex Leagues.

The Reds moved to Town Mead in 1949, and in 1997 the club played it's last game at the ground before moving to The People's Pension Stadium.

Crawley were promoted into the Conference as champions of the Southern League in 2003-04 and became fully professional in 2005.

A year later, the club was just over an hour away from extinction, having entered administration for the second time in seven years, but the third offer to creditors was accepted and the Reds survived.
