euanRFC 119 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Perhaps a daft question but I have been sitting here thinking about it for half an hour and thought I would get a general consensus. As a team are we the "royal blues" or "light blues". Different media outlets refer to us as both and I was wondering what the opinion was? I have always thought of us as Royal blue...

euanRFC 119 Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 My reasoning is due to the song Who's That Team where it says "they're the boys in royal blue" Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDFM 3,809 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Supposedly Light Blues is a nickname garnered due to our quick and technical players that breezed by the opposition and Royal Blue is the colour that is associated with us. However, a lot of our kits are quite clearly light blue so fuck knows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude 20,026 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Light Blues originated from a newspaper report which referred to us as the 'light and speedy blues' iirc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with the name over 'Light Blue' but the colour of our strip has never really been the actual colour 'Royal Blue'. I've always thought we should always have our own 'Rangers Blue' colour with the RGB profile something like 38,59,140. I think thats the closest to the strip from the 60s and 70s. While the current Puma kit is nice - its really the wrong blue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite true. If you lay out the current/last seasons strip to the promotion strip, the promotion strip looks like it has a tinge of green in it!

siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 always thought we were the 'light blues' because Scotland played in 'dark blue'.

I did say I always thought it was royal blue and quoted that song as reasoning so well read. Just because of the amount of media that said light blue I wanted to ask.
