loweman2 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) After years of work and research here it is ! The Derby County shirt worn in the inaugural season of 1884 by the pioneers of our club, Cambridge Blue, Amber and Chocolate Brown the first colours of the Rams, it was thought that the early colours were blue but it was a shade of blue called Cambridge Blue which is actually more of a green. The badge was the badge of the Derbyshire FA that a player was permitted to wear if they had been selected to represent the Derbyshire FA. we have had two made by a local tailor after we sourced the correct colours and the materials, the embroidery was done separately, even down to mother of Pearl buttons, it is to add further integrity to the book but moreover to show where the club evolved from, the team that wore these colours set the precedent for all those that have followed, the shirts will be on display at our Rams Heritage roadshows later in the year. brought to life after 137 years by Phil Lowe & Jason Shardlow.

DarkFruitsRam7 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Football was a lot more gentlemanly back then. They even wore ties on the pitch. Rev and loweman2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweetness34 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Absolutely fantastic! Just had to second all of the compliments you've already received. I found the Cambridge Blue to be particularly interesting, and it looks lovely. Well done @loweman2 loweman2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turk Thrust Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Incredible work. Well done for putting together this shirt (actually I think the colours are pretty awful but it’s our heritage) the material looks quite shiny but I assume the original was cotton? loweman2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant, the best response I have seen ! That’s what it all about, engaging in the clubs history,learning a bit and then telling somebody else, rather than droning on about the rubbish we can’t change at the club presently !

MaltRam Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) We were lied to in 1984 with the stripey shoulder? Noooooo!! Aaaaanyway, HOW did you discover that was the proper colour? Why are you so certain? Edited July 27, 2021 by Needlesh loweman2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
