Have Sturt ever been known as the "Navy" blue?

We are the double blues of course, but the "shout" I got from the club...

.. Rick want us to be "hanging from the rafters", to "cheer on the navy blue"

OK it may be pedantic but it made me feel like a Carlton supporter *horror*

Slur on Carlton me thinks...

Only one "Navy Blue" in Australia and that's...

Don't think it was a navy blue but they definately had a guernsey once which was predominately dark blue, easily better than the atrocity they wear these days too.

"The Blues", "the Double Blues", "the Blue Baggers", "the Smurfs", but never ever have I heard anyone call Sturt, "the Navy Blues". Maybe Rick is slightly nervous.

yes wedgie, we all know how you feel about the Sturt jumper these days, no need to keep repeating yourself a thousand times, or some other posters may think you are having a bit of a troll.....

blues2002, i think its a bit weird but who really gives a crap anyway, lets just pump the dogs

The guy sitting to the left of this message had a bit more navy on his guernsey than is on there nowadays. But I have also read somewhere that he was the guy that designed the current one.
Wedgie, Sturt's guernsey is a masterpiece. Michaelangelo would have put his brush down after completing such a work and then hung it on the roof of the Cisteen Chapel.

Are you sure he didn't use it to clean the cistern? Easy mistake to make.

Whereas if it had been a sh!t work, he'd have published it in the Advertiser with the rest of his garbage

Would it have been better if he'd urged you to "cheer on the royals"? or "the skies"?

Haha, the Smurfs ... Hadn't heard that one, thats pretty good

I believe the reason they are double blue is to do with the two streets that border Unley " Oval "....when it was an oval. Cambridge and....help me out Sturt supporters.....was the colours of those universities or some such thing. Guess it might be Oxford ?

Regardless the Sturt jumper is the worse jumper in the history of the SANFL......how any man could play football in a powder blue jumper is beyond me. the colour makes me ill quite frankly.

I have heard the two Blues as well !!!

For me its the Double Blues and always will be !!!

FWIW the jumper is the one I have grown with so for me I will stay with my bias and cherish the jumper - also to this day i still have a lace up yet it does not fit me like it us to !!!

Could be worse...they could use the true Cambridge and Oxford blues. Oxford is a very dark blue, almost navy, unfortunately my wonderful Cambridge is a vile blue/green. Just imagine these two colours together.

Yes Jaz you got it.....Dark blue that we all know and love plus Vile blue which we have all learnt to vomit when we see it !

Actually I think it is Oxford and Cambridge Streets now I think about it....come on Sturt supporters where are you ?....still at Jolly's boat house ?

Well they're certainly not at Jack's Bar.....you'd be waiting a long time for service...

Well I think we need to arrange a quote of the year award.

You get all the 6 votes Pseudo awarded for this round , in fact I reckon you desere the medal right now. The crap and shallow articles that guy wites amazes me , he is really pathetic. Give me Doug Robertson any day. And just on that , is Doug still doing the SANFL ?

Nup, got "moved" to court journalism but I see he's been allowed to do some other stuff too.

Cheers mate. Thats disappointing , he wrote well and listening to him on RPH Thursday nights he knew his footy & SANFL footy. Have to organise a "bring back Doug" petition !!
