Quote: silver2 "As I understand it the p&b was adopted in a failed attempt to obtain sponsorship from Lady Greenall. The blue reflected her Tory politics and the primrose because that was rumoured to be her favourite flower. Personally, I've got no problem with the primrose, but I'm no lover of the blue.'"
Don’t think it was failed, think they were fairly involved with the club at the time. The blue was indeed a nod to their links with the Tory party. I think the primrose was because Lady Daresbury was a member of the Primrose Society?
I agree, more promrose next season, the kits have been predominantly blue for a while now.
