Yeah we’ve pissed about with the shade over the years, however If you check back historically our colours were either listed as Pale Blue or Light Blue. Only in the 1950’s did it start to be referred to as Sky blue. If you can get hold of any old programmes you may see this. Personally I prefer the 1968-1970 shade
from Historical kits…
After the Second World War, City's colours were described as "light blue" and, towards the end of the decade, "sky blue." There is no evidence to suggest that the shade of their shirts changed, however, merely that these terms were thought to be more modern.
