m1st Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Looking across from my seat in the Riverside this afternoon at the new training strip as worn on the bench, and at the Venky's adverts which flash across the advertisement boards, I couldn't help wondering if, next season or the one after, we'll be playing in turquoise and white halves, as part of the Venkys-isation of the club; rather than a more traditional blue and white. How would others feel about that? Or am I worrying unnecessarily? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrone Shoelaces Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 . We've had some very light blue halves in the past, that hideous replica shirt they did a while back for the Wolves game was a light blue. Having said that the blue at present is the blue I always associate with The Rovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backroom Tom Posted May 14, 2011 Backroom Share Posted May 14, 2011 Certianly wouldn't be next season as Umbro have the kits designed and finalised apart from sponser) a year or so in advance. Love the training kits though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattyblue Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Ha we said exactly the same when the Venky's logo flashed up. Is it likely? Probably not, would it surprise me? Err no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 What a strange thread. I read the titles and immediately felt myself getting angry with Venkys. Yet there appears to be no substance to this at all. I can only assume it's just another symptom of anti-Venkys feeling and designed to get a reaction.

I agree , the blue and white halves and playing at Ewood Park are part of the clubs DNA. You mess around with them at your peril. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grizfoot Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I'd actually like a lighter shade of blue for a change maybe similiar to the early 90s shade of blue we had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they can be attacked if we change to a shade of blue that we have had previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazza Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Lighter shade of blue? Definitely not. Too much like Man City. Keep it as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gull Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 The lighter shades we had in 90/91 and 91/92 were two of my favourite kits, especially the 90/91, don't like it too dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torgeir Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 That looks pretty good! The lighter shades we had in 90/91 and 91/92 were two of my favourite kits, especially the 90/91, don't like it too dark. I fully agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't like the lighter shades at at, The royal type blue it is is how it has been for the most part and how it should continue. I will admit the mock up picture of Jones the kit don't look too bad.

CaliRoverNYC Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 turquoise would imply a more green looking blue and i would hate that, lighter blue wouldn't bother me but i think the royal blue with the red numbers is best. Use turquoise for a european third kit if venkys are honest about ever finishing 6th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruz Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 So basically the jist is if Rovers staff had worn pink training tops then nexts years kit could have been pink and white? Why would turquoise be fitting in with the Venky's branding? Last time I looked their logo was virtualy the same as Rovers blue.

A cup of beans Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I'd actually like a lighter shade of blue for a change maybe similiar to the early 90s shade of blue we had. seconded. the argentina blue perspex kit is my alltime favourite. spurs' aniversary shirt looked v smart when they had a similar colour.

tony gale's mic Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 The actual tradition is to wear Cambridge Blue - at least this is where the original blue in our colours originates from. That's a lighter shade to what we've been wearing of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 So long as it's blue and white halves it's OK with me. The one off light blue with the blue and white reversed looked fine to me and I wish I had bought one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
