The club was founded in 2013 by chairman Jason Kay along with three co-chairmen Jason Timms, Marcus Green and Pete Schofield and Club secretary Graham Wood following a takeover of Coventry Spartans in reaction to Coventry City moving from the Ricoh Arena to Northampton to play at Sixfields Stadium.[1] Edwin Greaves had been in charge at the club since its formation until Spring 2016, when he was replaced by current manager Terry Anderson.
On 4 July 2015, the club announced the takeover of Coventry City Ladies F.C, rebranding the ladies side Coventry United Ladies F.C.[2]
Coventry United's home kit is made up from the city's civic colours. The shirt is a dark red Adidas designed top that prominently features the logo of the current club sponsors "Graham The Plumbers' Merchant"[5] on the front. The shorts and socks are the same shade of dark green. The club's away strip is a full white strip which is also sponsored by Graham The Plumbers' Merchant.
At the start of the 2014–15 season, Coventry unveiled their third kit for the season which is a full sky blue strip that references local professional club Coventry City.
On 4 July 2015, Coventry City Ladies F.C. announced that they will merge with Coventry United and be rebranded as Coventry United Ladies F.C. from the beginning of the 2015–16 Women's Premier League season.[6]
The move means that the team will play in Coventry United Men's team colours, also the cities civic colours, red and green rather than Coventry City's sky blue. They will also continue playing home games at The Bedworth Oval.[7] The clubs were keen to point out that the ladies team will still be independently run, with its own board of directors.
