The Club decided to supply numbered shirts to all players to eliminate team kit washing for health and safety reasons, due to the Colid-19 pandemic.
Socks: Over the years, the most popular colour of TFFC socks has been red; for many seasons plain red was used but often with yellow hoops at the top or yellow turn-overs with red hoops. One set of red socks featured yellow hoops all the way down. However, to continue the use of navy as a third complimentary colour, between seasons 2002/03 and 2004/05 all three teams wore navy socks with yellow & navy hooped tops. Red socks with navy hoops or navy turn-overs with red hoops were also used. Yellow socks were reintroduced as part of the Errea playing kit purchased for the First Team for season 2010/11. For 2015/16, new navy socks with red flashes were purchased for the 1st XI and a new set of red socks were bought for the Old Boys Team for 2018/19.
'Clash' shirts: The Club first purchased a set of royal blue shirts to be used specifically as secondary colours from Credit Lyonnaise Bank in 1977. The shirts were worn just once in a cup tie, worn with the green shorts. Other 'old' kits, such as the red and blue shirts of the early eighties, were subsequently used as 'clash' colours in later seasons. In 2000, the Club bought a set of 'Barcelona' red shirts, followed by a set of green shirts with white trim in 2002, to reflect the inaugural M(S)FL colours of 1976. Two sets of original shirts – namely the blue and sky blue Coffer shirts – were later donated to Sunnyfield School in Hendon. From 2007/08 onwards, the green and white Bekhor kits were available as 'clash' colours. During the 2009/10 season, the First XI used one of the sets of 2002/03 yellow shirts held in stock when required to change. From 2010/11 onwards, the First XI returned to using the green and white Bekhor kit as 'clash' colours, whilst the Second XI, whilst playing in red as first choice colours in 2012/13, used the 2002 Winckworth Sherwood shirts. With the Second XI's demise at the end of the 2012/13 season, the remaining MSFL team used the same red shirts as their 'clash' shirts. In more recent seasons, the First XI used the 2002 Winckworth Sherwood shirts, whilst the Second XI used the 2004/05 Bekhors shirts (yellow shirts with navy flashes & red piping).
