►KITS
The original colours of Corinthians kit had been comprised of a cream shirt and black shirt, despite the fact that it had been black and white for the majority of their history. But when shirts were washed, the slowly turned white, and the official colours were changed accordingly, so that the club did not waste funds on new kits. In 1954, the away kit design was introduced of the black with thin white stripes as an alternative to the home kit of white with very thin black stripes.

►CRESTS
Before 1913, no crest was displayed on the Corinthians shirt. But when it became an offical part of the Liga Paulista, a local league, it became able to play official matches in the Sao Paulo Championship, a local championship within the state. The club then made their debut of the first credt, with the letters C and P which stands for Corinthians Paulista.

The itial crest after the 1940's was created by Hermogenese Barbuy, who was a brother of a player at the time. The crest changed before 1919 where it presented a Sao Paolo state flag and the clubs name. It changed a final time in 1940 when painter and previous member of the squad Francisco Rebolo Gonzalez created a defnitive crest. It contained an anchor and two oars which is a reference to the acquatic sports within the club. It has since been revised a few times, but the idea remained similar.
