Finally let´s examine how Blackburn Rovers´ colours evolved in the first fifty years of their existence. The club has always described its colours simply as "blue and white." The proper description of their shirts is "halved" but, perhaps because the Rover´s tops were always reversed on the back, the club always described them as "quartered." Blue might appear on either side (manufacturers were blackburn rovers 1878less fussy about consistency in those days) and the early team photographs show players wearing both right and left handed versions.
The earliest photograph we have is from 1878, taken only three years after the club´s formation. Even allowing for the quirks of Victorian photography, the halves are evidently very dark indeed. The key here is to examine the contrast between the players´ shirts and the suited gentleman standing at the back. (Note the cowls worn by the players; distinctive headgear was very much part of a team´s uniform in those days.)
During the club´s heyday in the 1880s, the teams´ shirts were very pale and, unlike the 1878 photograph, it is quite blackburn rovers 1895hard to distinguish the halves. Some images of the great FA Cup winnings sides are badly over-exposed but there are so many photographs of the team from this period that we can be confident that the shirts were in pale Cambridge blue and white. The photograph on the left was taken in 1895 and is one of the clearest we have from this era. We do not have the benefit of non-players in the foreground to establish contrast but we can compare the shirts with the general background and foreground details.
Sometime around the turn of the century the blue became considerably richer. Contrast the 1895 photograph with the one below, which is of the 1904-05 side. Again we have to use the background to establish our points of reference and allow for the fact that the team are wearing dark (black or navy) knickers. The shade seems to me to be part way between sky and mid blue similar to the Birmingham photograph from 1913 featured above. The photographic evidence suggests blackburn rovers 1904 that this intermediate colour was used until the late 1920s.
During the 1930s a conventional shade of mid blue was adopted and the blue half appeared on the left side of the shirt, where it has remained ever since. Light blue was reintroduced in 1986, at first as the main colour of the stockings and between 1990 and 1992 on the shirts themselves, a conscious reference to the club´s early colours.
