Jersey Blues FC was an American soccer team based in Morristown, New Jersey, United States. Founded in 2007, the team plays in the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL), the fourth tier of the American Soccer Pyramid, in the Keystone Conference. From the team's founding until the 2015 season, it was known as Morris County Colonials. In May 2015, the name and branding change to Jersey Blues FC was announced.[1]

The team plays its home games at Robert T. Shields Field on the campus of Fairleigh Dickinson University College at Florham in nearby Madison, New Jersey. The team's colors as the Morris County Colonials were burgundy, white and gold, but switched to white and blue after the team's identity was switched to Jersey Blues FC.

The Colonials organization is owned and operated by the New Jersey Soccer Group, a management company for a family of soccer-based companies offering soccer services in New Jersey.
