The motto is 'Aequo pede propera', to 'hasten with equal foot' or more easily translated as 'to make progress steadily.'

| I don't know the answer I was hoping someone on here would. Your explanations sounds reasonable Fred, I suppose that's as good a reason as any eh?  |

I the olden days (when Fred Parky was a lad), Wi*an played in blue. Due to the financial climate at the time they couldn't afford to buy a kit and the very helpful Leythers gave them an old Cherry & White kit to play in. Ever since that day they have played in our colours in honour of the generous Leythers. |
