Quote: vbfg "There are five hundred hues of red in sport. The gamut runs from cherry to claret having passed through wine and blood on the way. Woe betide anyone who uses the wrong one.
(City's off-purple vision of claret counts as a wrong one).'"
I've had many a debate in the boozer (while slightly intoxicated) over where City colours were "Claret & Amber" or "Red & Orange", and Bulls colours were "Red, Amber & Black" or "Red, Orange and Black". In fact, I've had that debate far too many times for it to be anything but embarrassing
