For home games Crewe Alexandra usually wear red shirts. Quite a few well known names from the game have pulled on the red Crewe shirt such including Stan Bowles, who played at Gresty Road in 1970/71 season, and the combative midfielder Robbie Savage, who played for the club as a striker in his formative years. It was also on loan at Crewe that goalkeeper Bruce Grobbelaar managed to perform for the club.

Crewe Alexandra were founded in 1877 as Crewe Football Club and are based in Cheshire. Like some of the other football clubs established in the 19th century, Crewe started as a football division of the already established Crewe Alexandra Cricket Club, named after Princess Alexandra of Denmark before becoming Queen of the United Kingdom.

The club was also named after Princess Alexandra, though some suggested it was actually after the Princess Public House that the club got its name from.
