When you read the article it gets worse - they try and say coventry blue is an association with Coventry going back hundreds of years and the football club barely gets a mention
Arnt the civic colours red and green ?
Have to laugh at the attempt to use blue in Coventry but not link it with the football club known worldwide as the Sky Blues!Moving is a word often associated with Coventry ... Moving Blue is our very own shade and will be visible all over Coventry in the next year
This has to be a deliberate piss take. No way nobody didn't pick up on this.

against my better judgment I was just starting to warm to him even though he is a tory c**t. I won't make that mistake again.
As the article states the links between the City and the colour predate the club by some time. There was a “Coventry Blue” but no one knows what it was.
The “moving” bit is a piss take though. If the best you can do is “transport and immigrants innit” you can do better. Why not just call it Coventry Blue 2020 or some bollocks?

Why did Hill choose sky blue and not true blue? Seems an obvious choice.
Goes back 100s of years when the city had a worthwhile industry..... doesn’t true blue come from the recognised blue dye that Was used in the City.

When the video first hit social media, the guy was reportedly a Lest*h fan getting faux aggressive. Repeatedly said 'd'ya want some, do ya ?'. Turned out he is actually a Wealdstone fan who play in blue shirts.Remind me what this was from. I know it made me chuckle when I first saw it!
What's the issue here? Think I'm missing something. The idea is to celebrate the city's history and association with the colour blue, from 'Coventry Blue' to Sky Blue, and the official 2021 video features the football club heavily. What was the issue withe original tweet?
Agree. There is definitely 'Coventry Blue' and it dates back hundreds of years I believe, so a bit unfair to suggest there is merely an attempt to link the colour. That they are try to suggest. I have always known of Coventry Blue.As the article states the links between the City and the colour predate the club by some time. There was a “Coventry Blue” but no one knows what it was.

Going to Paint the RICOH blue then so it can be seen off the Motorway LOLHe was on about making Coventry sky blue.... Bet he has no idea about the football club.
Civic colours are red and green due to separation of Coventry into areas controlled by either the Earl or the Bishop - hence why you've got two big curches in Trinity and St Michael's next door to each other.
Coventry Blue (or True Blue) is from the medieval dyeing and weaving industry as a cloth that was renowned for its ability to retain it's colour rather than fade or wash out. Personally i'd have much preferred True Blue as our nickname than Sky Blue)

Really? Would have thought this wd have got a mention on the TWD threadThe saying" true as Coventry blue" was also used in one of the episodes of last season's walking dead , just saying like.
I think the name ‘The Sky Blues’ was first coined by Derek Henderson in a match report in the Telegraph after watching the team play a pre season friendly against Birmingham at St Andrews in the new all Sky blue kit. We won 2-1 and both the team and the kit impressed.Why did Hill choose sky blue and not true blue? Seems an obvious choice.
