Local historians weekly "Back Issues" article in the Manawatū Standard. The Feilding Rugby Club was the first rugby club in the Manawatū, founded in 1878. The club came to believe their early club colours were a black jersey with a silver fern. Stephen Berg has examined historic records, which indicate that it is unlikely that Feilding Football Club players played in a black jersey with a silver fern. The club now goes by the nickname the Yellows, a colour that has been worn by players since 1894.
