Kilworthfox Posted 20 August 2013 Share Posted 20 August 2013 Does anyone have any reference to our county colours being Green & Yellow? Any help would be appreciated. I believe that the flag of leicestershire is green & yellow. The Leicester Mercury building has flown this flag before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Walsh5 Posted 21 August 2013 Share Posted 21 August 2013 When I played for the county at under 16's we played in a green & yellow kit. So I imagine that's the leicestershire colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox42 Posted 21 August 2013 Share Posted 21 August 2013 ... I don't understand why we chose blue from our county colours in the first place. Was it just to differ ourselves with the Tigers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be interested to know why we chose blue, considering our first kit was brown and light blue, then we moved to blue and white stripes like Huddersfield but with the blue being royal blue..

Langley Posted 21 August 2013 Share Posted 21 August 2013 I would be interested to know why we chose blue, considering our first kit was brown and light blue, then we moved to blue and white stripes like Huddersfield but with the blue being royal blue.. sure this has been answered on here before. I think a woman chose it. Here it is: By late October 1891 Leicester Fosse finally settled at the ground Miss Westland found and it was to become known as Filbert Street. Here the suffix ‘Fosse’ was dropped for the larger appeal of ‘City’ in 1920. The new century has of course seen a new move to the Walker Stadium. We do not know whether Miss Westland also played a pivotal role in the choice of the first club colours or not. Blue has always been worn on part of their outfit, but there was no regular pattern. First there was a blue sash on black shirts, followed by chocolate and blue halves. Approaching the turn of the twentieth century, white shirts and blue shorts were tried, as were various combinations of light and dark blue. The famous royal blue version arrived soon after and was there to stay with just one variation in the early Seventies when an all white kit was tried and soon discarded.

davieG Posted 22 August 2013 Share Posted 22 August 2013 I'm not sure if there are any but shouldn't it be about the colours of the town of Leicester as that is where it was/is based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattTheOldFox Posted 22 August 2013 Share Posted 22 August 2013 I thought we used Green and Yellow in the 80's as it was the corporate colours of Ind Coope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted 22 August 2013 Author Share Posted 22 August 2013 I thought we used Green and Yellow in the 80's as it was the corporate colours of Ind Coope. We did however what I was getting was at county level and Holmes park the kits have mainly been green & yellow and also the nets. I assumed that they were our county colours.

Holmes Park is the home of the Leicestreshire & Rutland FA. Rutland's flag is yellow and green, maybe it's a nod to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
