Just a question for Gary James, or any others with a good take on City history: What were the reasons behind our initial adoption of sky blue shirts, white shorts and navy blue socks?
I'm interested because as I've said in previous posts, I've never seen any other team in the world ever play in that particular colour scheme. Was there any significance behind it?
I have heard stories the "sky blue" was initially "Cambridge blue" and there was some link to Freemasonry behind the colours. Not having a whinge about our new white socks, just interested to know the history. Thanks
