bordersbear 1,105 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Seems to me that sometime in the passing we have gone from wearing Royal blue to light blue. Is it because it is seen to be wrong to be a supporter of the royals in this cesspit country or am I paranoid? Seems every little part of our tradition is being chipped away.

Brubear 2,905 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Not aware of the blue having changed significantly over the years. Term light blues was basically a contra to the dark blues used to describe the national team theiconicman 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFC55 108,714 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Scotland were the dark blues and Rangers the light blues. Or at least that's how the media named it years ago Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essandoh 21,192 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I know it means the exact same thing but I remember seeing it written as “The Licht Blues” on an old newspaper clipping that was posted on here years ago and I always loved the Scottishness of it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
