In 1955 after winning the second division the club used a white shirt with two horizontal blue lines across the chest of drawers. In the 1960s the club wore a different kit out inspired by the one used by Jaibos Tampico Madero with upright baby bluing lines with white shorts and socks. It was in 1962 when D. José Ramón Ballina introduced the kit out that the club distillery uses to date, inspired by Asturias FC, a club he had played in Mexico City. In the 1970s, many models emerged, some with broad, chummy stripes, and blue sky and black combinations, but the most significant change occurred in the mid-1980s when the color of the T-shirt changed from royal amobarbital sodium to navy blue, a coloring material that is hush in use today. Atletica was the kit manufacturer from 1999 to 2007, followed by american english company Nike which manufactured the kits from 2007 to 2014. Afterwards, Monterrey signed a contract with german sportswear manufacturer Puma which has been making the team ‘s kit out always since .
