I didn't decide who I support on the number of trophies in their cabinet. Derby to me are the best, always have been always will be. If you want to think of them as third best, go for it, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like others have said black and white are our colours, but my memories are of us in blue and white. I've still got, and indeed the few occasions I get to go to games, still use my blue and white (with red trim) scarf. I love both combinations, and that strip on the design thread with the centenary flash is brilliant. This is the colour of Derby from my childhood... I prefer this look to be honest.

I live for that one random game a year where we get to see black socks with the home kit, it’s like being in a loveless marriage and seeing your mistress. I always hate that one or two games we play where we wear white shorts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IslandExile Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I'm sure the definitive source of information is @loweman2's book - which, hopefully, will one day soon lead to his shirt collection being housed in a museum at the ground. Nevertheless, this is a useful quick reference: http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Derby_County/Derby_County.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously I'm not trying to pretend that we didn't wear blue and white for nearly 20 years, but we've worn black and white for roughly 100 years of our history. This poll doesn't lie and you'll get similar results if you asked fans of other clubs what Derby's traditional colours are. I don't care how successful the team were in blue and white. Besides, people who like this colour combination always use photos like the one above, but I could just as easily post a photo of that useless sack of poo Kenny Burns wearing blue and white whilst helping us suffer the indignity of relegation to the third tier for only the second time in our history.

Half Fan Half Biscuit Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Don't teams refer to the shirt colour first and the shorts second, so if we are black and white we should have black shirts and white shorts? (Yuk) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember my first scarf was blue and white checks, Derby County in the middle on one side, red and blue on the other side. I tied it to the railings at PP after Sir Brian died ?.

Mucker1884 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 My first Derby scarf was more of a Man City blue, and white. It was soft, silky, and delicate! I tied it to my wrist. ...Unfortunately not to the headboard... just my wrist! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Third...? how many times have Leicester won the big three completions..? The league, the FA Cup and the European Cup...? without googling It I know they have only won the league once, I don’t think they have won the FA Cup and definitely not the European cup, so that makes them less successful than us. (None of the others matter-winning the second division and league cup just mean you weren’t good enough to be winning the top flight and the FA cup) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m 54 so grew up with blue and white more. on a lighter note there’s some cracking original kit strips which would make iconic away kits / specials - the strips (black/white/ red) and the first half panel shirts were immense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
