Jackson Corner I would like to think the home kit will be a homage to the first kit worn by Reading FC.

Pepe the Horseman Saw someone on twitter suggest a gold and white hooped third kit. That would be incredible x

tidus_mi2 As we were founded on Christmas Day 1871, I take it our Boxing Day match next year will be the big 150th anniversary game.
tidus_mi2 Hopefully it will be a better spectacle than the travesty that was the 2-1 home defeat to Burton on our 500th Madejski Stadium game celebration.

There's no actual evidence to support this claim - even though it's repeated in various internet places that doesn't make it true.
In fact Christmas Day is one of the least likely days for a large group of young, Christian, church-going men to leave their family homes and parents on a dark afternoon / evening to go out and found a football club!
Many have looked for an actual foundation date but none have found one.
If a particular and true date is desired for celebration purposes then 21 February - the date of our first match in 1872 - would probably be the one to go for.

I'm sure I've read somewhere (Biscuits and Royals? cannot find it to check) that the inaugural meeting was a lot earlier in Jan 1871

Yes you have. However that was written nearly 40 years ago and subsequent research would suggest that date is highly implausible .

As I understand it there was definitely a meeting at some point in 1871 to form the club, I thought that meeting was in the February of that year meaning the club would actually turn 150 next month, however I don’t think there is any actual confirmation of the date extant anywhere.
