Dagenham & Redbridge F.C.

Dagenham & Redbridge Football Club ( /ˈdæɡənəm ˈrɛdbrɪdʒ/), informally known as Daggers, is an English association football club based in Dagenham, in the London Borough of Barking & Dagenham, East London. It was formed in 1992 after a merger between Redbridge Forest and Dagenham. The team plays in Football League Two for the 2011–12 season having been relegated after only one season in Football League One.

The club's traditional colours are red and blue, to represent the merger teams' colours. In the early days the club used red for the home shirt and blue for the away shirts, normally red and white vertical stripes for the home and blue and white vertical stripes for the away. In recent times the kit has gone under a large transformation. The stripes have been replaced with solid colours. The home kit is currently red with blue trim, whilst the away kit has become green with black trim.
