Shang Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Absolutely agree on blue shorts. White and black looks incredibly crude and basic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bass sponsored kit was the centenary one which we used in 84 in the old third division. Maybe we should replicate it for our upcoming descent into league 1 for some sort of consistency?

Although the shorts look blue, I think this might the season we switched to black and white. I'll leave it to the many kit experts to put me right!

Black shorts and blue socks or vice versa might be a good way to satisfy everyone, and keep both colours from the different eras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finch Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 8 hours ago, 1961ram said: For anybody who doesn't know the history of this, Brian Clough introduced this colour scheme because that was the England colours and as most of our team would soon be playing for England it made sense. We got up to four in the team at one point but then he buggered off. I for one preferred it and would welcome it back so don't be bullied for your post Bearwood Cloughie introduced it because England was the best team followed by Brazil (our away colours) and Derby was third best.

As both the words "Black" and "Blue" are one syllable, swapping one for the other won't affect the tempo, so at least we'd all be able to continue to sing it in unison. Oh... Wait...

Boycie Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 We changed colour to change luck. It worked within 10 years I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ram59 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I'll be okay with blue and white, I've still got my blue and white scarf with a sew on, 'champs, it was easy' badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loweman2 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Just added this to the shirt collection thread, a 1977/78 shirt, looks great 44 years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawhillram Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 A very very dark metallic midnight blue could work for me. In certain a light it would look almost black and in other light it will look pure black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Ram Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 My first Rams match was away at Ipswich in 1976. The 6-2 win, last game of the season, Frannie Lee’s last ever game. My mum had knitted me a black and white scarf which I wore despite the team having navy blue shorts on. I was a 10 year old in the home end. The stick I got from some young Ipswich fans was something else ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
